🛡️ Player Wellbeing

Responsible Gaming at bingoplus1

Gaming should always be fun – never a source of stress or financial hardship. bingoplus1 is committed to giving every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.

Strictly 21+ Only – Philippine Gaming Regulations Apply

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At bingoplus1, we genuinely believe that gaming is at its best when it stays fun, voluntary, and within your means. We're not just saying that for compliance – it's a core part of how we operate as a platform serving Filipino players from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City, and everywhere in between.

Responsible gaming at bingoplus1 means giving every player the knowledge to understand the risks, the tools to manage their play, and the support to seek help if things ever start to feel out of control. Whether you're spinning slots, playing bingo, or watching a live casino table, bingoplus1 wants your experience to be a positive one – every single session.

bingoplus1 operates in alignment with the responsible gaming framework established by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). We take our obligations seriously and continuously invest in player protection measures that go beyond the minimum requirements.

bingoplus1's responsible gaming program is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect best practices in player protection and the latest guidance from PAGCOR.

21+ Age Policy – No Exceptions

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online gaming is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This is not a guideline – it is a legal requirement, and bingoplus1 enforces it without exception.

Every player who registers on bingoplus1 is required to confirm their age at sign-up and to complete identity verification (KYC) before making any deposits or withdrawals. Acceptable proof of age includes a Philippine passport, PhilSys National ID, SSS ID, UMID, or driver's licence. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all associated funds returned.

Protecting Young People

If you share a device with younger family members, bingoplus1 strongly recommends the following precautions:

  • Always log out of your bingoplus1 account when you are not actively playing.
  • Use a strong, unique password that younger household members cannot guess.
  • Enable device-level parental controls to restrict access to gaming websites.
  • Never share your bingoplus1 login credentials with anyone, regardless of age.
  • Contact bingoplus1 support immediately if you suspect a minor has accessed your account.

21+ Only. Allowing a minor to access your bingoplus1 account is a violation of our Terms and Conditions and may result in permanent account closure and forfeiture of balances.

Understanding the Risks of Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment, and like all forms of entertainment, it comes with a cost. The key difference with gambling is that outcomes are determined by chance – no strategy, system, or "hot streak" can guarantee a win. bingoplus1 wants every player to understand this clearly before they play.

For most players, gambling remains a fun and controlled activity. But for some, it can develop into a problem that affects their finances, relationships, and mental health. Problem gambling does not discriminate – it can affect anyone, regardless of income, education, or background. Recognizing the warning signs early is the most important step toward getting help.

Common warning signs of problem gambling include:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended.
  • Chasing losses – continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have lost.
  • Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop gambling.
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking loans to fund gambling activity.
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems.

If any of these signs sound familiar, please take our self-assessment below and consider reaching out to bingoplus1 support or a professional counseling service. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Self-Assessment: Is Your Gaming Still Fun?

Take a moment to honestly answer the following questions. This is not a clinical diagnosis – it is a personal check-in to help you reflect on your gaming habits. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to use bingoplus1's responsible gaming tools or speak with a support professional.

1

Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for something else, like bills, groceries, or savings?

2

Have you tried to win back money you lost by gambling more, even when you knew you should stop?

3

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are doing other things?

4

Have you hidden your gambling activity or the amount you have lost from family members or close friends?

5

Do you feel anxious, irritable, or low when you are not able to gamble?

6

Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships, at work, or with your finances?

7

Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gambling?

8

Do you gamble to escape from stress, loneliness, boredom, or personal problems?

If you answered "yes" to three or more questions, please consider using our self-exclusion tool or contacting our support team. You can also reach out to a professional counseling service – there is no shame in asking for help.

bingoplus1 Responsible Gaming Tools

bingoplus1 provides a suite of practical tools that put you in control of your gaming activity. These tools are available to all registered players at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. Using them is completely voluntary, confidential, and free of charge.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your bingoplus1 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the limit period resets. You can lower your deposit limit at any time with immediate effect. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before it takes effect.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount in Philippine Peso (PHP) that you are comfortable losing within a set time period. When your loss limit is reached, bingoplus1 will automatically restrict further play for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful for players who want a hard financial boundary without fully pausing their account.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so that bingoplus1 will notify you – or automatically log you out – when you have been playing for a specified length of time. It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying a game, and this tool helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and a summary of your net gaming activity during the session. These pop-up prompts give you a moment to pause, reflect, and decide whether to continue or take a break.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from bingoplus1 without fully closing your account. Cool-off periods are available for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, you will not be able to log in or place any bets. Your account and balance are preserved and will be accessible again once the period ends.

To activate any of these tools, log in to your bingoplus1 account, navigate to Account Settings, and select Responsible Gaming. You can also contact our 24/7 support team to have limits applied immediately on your behalf.

Self-Exclusion Program

If you feel that your gambling has become a problem and you need a more significant break, bingoplus1's self-exclusion program allows you to voluntarily block yourself from accessing the platform for an extended period. Self-exclusion is a serious step, and bingoplus1 treats every request with the utmost care and confidentiality.

How Self-Exclusion Works

1
Submit Your Request

Contact bingoplus1 support via live chat or email at [email protected] and request self-exclusion. Specify your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent.

2
Immediate Account Restriction

Your bingoplus1 account will be restricted within 24 hours of your verified request. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets during the exclusion period.

3
Marketing Opt-Out

bingoplus1 will immediately remove you from all promotional communications, including email, SMS, and push notifications, for the duration of your self-exclusion.

4
Balance Withdrawal

Any remaining balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be processed for withdrawal to your registered GCash, PayMaya, or bank account (BPI, BDO, Metrobank, etc.).

5
Reinstatement After Exclusion

After your exclusion period ends, reinstatement is not automatic. You must contact bingoplus1 support and complete a reinstatement review, including a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before access is restored.

Important: Self-exclusion is a serious commitment. bingoplus1 will not accept requests to lift a self-exclusion before the agreed period has ended, regardless of the reason given. This is for your protection.

Tips for Healthy, Enjoyable Gaming

Most bingoplus1 players enjoy gaming as a fun pastime without any issues. Here are some practical habits that help keep gaming enjoyable and within healthy boundaries:

  • Set a budget before you play – Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending, and treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
  • Never chase losses – If you have reached your budget for the day, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to bigger losses.
  • Take regular breaks – Step away from the screen every hour. Grab a snack, stretch, or chat with someone. Fresh eyes make for better decisions.
  • Balance gaming with other activities – Gaming is one of many ways to relax and have fun. Make sure it does not crowd out other hobbies, social activities, or responsibilities.
  • Do not play when emotional – Avoid gambling when you are stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair judgment and can lead to impulsive decisions.
  • Keep track of time and money – Use bingoplus1's session time reminders and deposit limit tools to stay aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
  • Gambling is not a solution to financial problems – If you are struggling financially, gambling is not the answer. Seek financial advice or community support instead.
  • Talk to someone you trust – If gaming is starting to feel like a problem, talking to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor is one of the most effective first steps.
