Our Commitment to Safe Play

At finalmouse, responsible gaming is not just a policy — it is a core part of how we operate for every Filipino player on our platform. We understand that while sports betting and casino-style entertainment are enjoyable pastimes for the vast majority of our players, a small number of individuals may develop patterns of play that cause harm to themselves or their families. That is why we have built a comprehensive set of player protection tools directly into the platform, making it easy for you to stay in control at every step. Our team monitors platform activity around the clock and is trained to identify early signs of problem gambling, reaching out proactively when we have concerns about a player's wellbeing. We are committed to full compliance with Philippine regulations on responsible gaming, and we work continuously to improve the tools and resources we offer. If you ever feel that your gaming is no longer fun or is causing stress, we encourage you to use the tools below or contact our support team immediately — no questions asked.

Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your finalmouse account at any time through your account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a cooling-off period of at least 24 hours. This gives you a reliable way to manage your spending in Philippine pesos and ensures that gaming stays within your personal budget. We strongly encourage all players to set a deposit limit when they first register, as a simple and effective first line of protection.

Session Time Limits

Losing track of time is one of the most common ways that gaming sessions can become problematic, especially on mobile. finalmouse allows you to set a maximum session duration, after which you will be automatically logged out and reminded to take a break. You can also enable on-screen reminders that appear at regular intervals during your session, keeping you aware of how long you have been playing. These tools are available to all registered Filipino players and can be adjusted at any time from your account dashboard.

Take a Break

If you feel you need a short pause from gaming, our Take a Break feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this period, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or access casino-style games, giving you the space to reset and reflect. Your account balance and history are preserved, and you can return when the break period ends. This option is available instantly from your account settings and requires no approval from our team.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion is available as a stronger protective measure. You can request self-exclusion for a minimum period of six months, during which your account will be fully suspended and you will be blocked from creating new accounts on the platform. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly — typically within one business day. If you wish to self-exclude, please contact our support team directly using the email address listed in the footer of this page, and our team will guide you through the process with full confidentiality.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or experience level — and it often develops gradually rather than all at once. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step toward getting help, and we want every Filipino player on finalmouse to feel empowered to recognise these signs in themselves or in someone they care about. Common indicators include spending more money or time on gaming than you originally intended, chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to recover money you have lost, and feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play. Other signs include neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming, borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your play, and hiding your gaming activity from people close to you. If any of these descriptions feel familiar, please reach out to our support team or one of the external resources listed below — help is available, and there is no shame in asking for it.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Spending more than you can afford to lose
  • Chasing losses with bigger bets
  • Feeling unable to stop or cut back
  • Neglecting family, work, or studies
  • Borrowing money to fund gaming
  • Hiding gaming activity from loved ones
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
  • Using gaming to escape stress or problems

Support Resources in the Philippines

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, a range of support services are available in the Philippines. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a responsible gaming programme that includes counselling referrals and helpline services for Filipino players. The National Council on Problem Gambling Philippines provides confidential support and guidance for individuals and families affected by gambling-related harm. Many local government units also offer community-based mental health and counselling services that can assist with gambling-related concerns. We encourage any player who is concerned about their gaming behaviour to reach out to these organisations without hesitation — seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. finalmouse is committed to working alongside these bodies to promote a safe and responsible gaming environment for all players in the Philippines.

Common Questions About Responsible Gaming

Quick answers for Filipino players who want to understand their options and rights.

You can set a deposit limit by logging into your finalmouse account and navigating to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. From there, you can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit in Philippine pesos that suits your personal budget. The limit takes effect immediately once you save it, and any request to increase the limit will be subject to a mandatory cooling-off period of at least 24 hours to prevent impulsive decisions. Decreasing your limit, however, takes effect right away. If you need help finding this setting, our support team is available around the clock to assist you.

The minimum age to register and play on finalmouse is 21 years old, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. We carry out identity verification for all new accounts to confirm that players meet this age requirement before they can make a deposit or place a bet. If we have reason to believe that an account is being used by a minor, we will suspend the account immediately and conduct a full review. We take our age verification obligations seriously and encourage parents and guardians to make use of parental control tools on shared devices to prevent underage access to gaming platforms.

Self-exclusion on finalmouse is designed to be a firm commitment to protect your wellbeing, so accounts cannot be reopened before the agreed exclusion period has ended. Once the minimum exclusion period of six months has passed, you may contact our support team to request a review of your account status. Before reactivation, we will ask you to confirm that you are ready to return to gaming responsibly and may suggest additional tools such as deposit limits or session reminders. If you have chosen a permanent self-exclusion, your account will not be reopened under any circumstances. We take these requests seriously because we genuinely care about the long-term wellbeing of every Filipino player on our platform.

Yes, all responsible gaming requests — including deposit limit changes, take-a-break requests, and self-exclusion applications — are handled with complete confidentiality by our dedicated player protection team. Your information will not be shared with other players or used for any purpose other than processing your request and keeping your account safe. We treat every player who reaches out for help with respect and without judgement, because we understand that asking for support takes courage.
