Our Commitment

Gaming Is Entertainment — Let's Keep It That Way

At A45com, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every Filipino player on our platform. We know that for the overwhelming majority of our Kabayan players, online gaming is exactly what it should be — a fun pastime, a bit of excitement after a long day, or the thrill of a live Sabong match on a Sunday afternoon.

But we also know that for a small number of people, gaming can become a problem. Problem gambling — locally sometimes called "sugal na adik" — can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It does not happen overnight, and it is not a sign of weakness or lack of willpower. It is a recognised condition that can be addressed with the right support and tools.

That is why A45com has built a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform — not as a legal requirement to tick a box, but because we genuinely want every player to walk away feeling like the experience was worth it. We want gaming to add value to your life, not take from it.

This page will walk you through the tools available to you, the warning signs to watch out for, and what to do if you — or someone you care about — needs help. Tandaan: it takes more courage to ask for help than to keep playing when you should stop.

Player Tools

Responsible Gaming Tools Built Into A45com

These tools are available free of charge to every registered player. You can activate or adjust them at any time directly from your account settings.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once you reach your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.

How to set it: Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Changes take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling period.

Session Time Limits

Limit how long you can play in a single session. When the time is up, you will be automatically logged out and reminded to take a break.

How to set it: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Limits. Available in 30-minute increments from 30 mins up to 8 hours.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a day, week, or month. A45com will block further bets once your loss threshold is reached.

How to set it: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits. Reductions take effect immediately; increases have a 24-hour delay.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from A45com — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cool-off, your account is temporarily suspended. All pending withdrawals remain processed.

How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break. The cool-off begins immediately and cannot be reversed early.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently exclude yourself from A45com for a minimum of 6 months or indefinitely. During exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit, play, or receive marketing.

How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion, or email support@a45com.best. Takes effect within 24 hours.

Reality Check Alerts

Receive pop-up reminders at regular intervals showing how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session — so you always know where you stand.

How to set it: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Reality Check. Set reminders every 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It usually builds up slowly — one more bet, one more session, one more chance to win it all back. Here are some signs that gaming may have crossed a line:

You spend more money than you planned to, and struggle to stop even when you tell yourself you will.

You chase losses — meaning you keep playing specifically to try to win back money you have already lost.

Gaming is affecting your sleep, work, studies, or relationships. Family or friends have expressed concern.

You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play.

You have borrowed money, sold belongings, or used bill money to fund your gaming.

You hide your gaming activity from family members or lie about how much time or money you spend.

Gaming feels less like fun and more like something you need to do to feel okay.

If you recognise even two or three of these signs, it may be time to use one of A45com's responsible gaming tools or speak to someone you trust.

Quick Self-Assessment

Ask Yourself These Questions

Be honest with yourself. These questions are not a diagnosis — but they can help you decide whether to take a closer look at your gaming habits.

1

Have you ever bet more than you could comfortably afford to lose in a single session?

2

Have you ever tried to cut back on your gaming time or spending but found it difficult?

3

Have you ever used gaming as a way to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings?

4

Have you ever felt the urge to return immediately after a loss to try to win it back?

5

Has someone close to you ever expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming?

6

Have you ever neglected responsibilities at work, school, or home because of gaming?

7

Have you ever felt guilty or ashamed after a gaming session?

If you answered yes to two or more questions, we recommend activating a deposit or session limit, or contacting our support team to discuss your options.

Play the Smart Way

Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming on A45com

Responsible gaming is not about playing less — it is about playing smarter. Here are some practical habits that keep gaming enjoyable for the long run:

1
Set a Budget Before You Start

Decide on an amount you are comfortable spending — money you can afford to lose — before you open the app. Treat it like entertainment spending, the way you would budget for a movie or a night out in BGC.

2
Never Chase Losses

Losing streaks happen to everyone — they are part of gaming. The worst thing you can do is try to win it all back in one big bet. Log off, take a walk, come back another day with a clear head.

3
Keep Track of Time

It is easy to lose track when you are in the middle of an exciting Sabong match or a hot JILI Slots run. Use A45com's session timer to keep yourself aware of how long you have been playing.

4
Do Not Play When Stressed or Emotional

Gaming while stressed, tired, or emotional leads to poor decisions and often larger losses. Play when you are in a good headspace and purely for fun.

5
Balance Gaming with Other Activities

Gaming is one hobby among many. Make sure your social life, work, family time, and physical health all stay in balance. If gaming is crowding out the other things that matter to you, that is a signal to reassess.

Our Responsible Gaming Pledge

How A45com Supports Every Player's Wellbeing

Responsible gaming at A45com goes beyond just providing tools. Here is how we actively work to keep every Kabayan player safe.

Strict Age Verification

Every new account undergoes identity verification before real-money play is permitted. A45com does not allow anyone under the age of 21 to register or play — walang exception.

No Targeting of Vulnerable Players

Players who are under a cool-off or self-exclusion period are completely removed from all marketing lists. We will never send bonus offers or promotions to players who have requested a break.

Proactive Monitoring

Our system monitors player behaviour for patterns associated with problem gambling — such as sudden increases in bet size or late-night sessions. Our team may reach out proactively if we spot concerning patterns.

Trained Support Team

Our 24/7 support agents are trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with compassion — never judgment. If you need to talk, we are here.

Transparent Game Information

Return-to-player (RTP) rates and house edge data are published for every game on A45com. We believe an informed player is a safer player.

Certified Fair Play

All RNG-based games undergo independent auditing. Live games use certified streams. No manipulation, no rigged outcomes — just honest gaming, every time.

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQs

No. Once a self-exclusion period is active, it cannot be reversed or shortened. This is intentional — the cooling period is designed to give you time away from gaming without the temptation to cancel it in a moment of impulse. After the exclusion period ends, you will need to contact support to reactivate your account, and a mandatory 7-day waiting period will apply.

No. As soon as you activate a cool-off period or self-exclusion, you are immediately removed from all marketing lists. You will not receive bonus alerts, promotional emails, or any other gaming-related communications for the duration of your exclusion period.

Any remaining balance in your A45com account will be refunded to your registered payment method — GCash, Maya, or your linked bank account — within 5 to 7 banking days. Bonus balances that have not met their wagering requirements will be forfeited, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Account limits and exclusions can only be set by the registered account holder. However, if you are concerned about a family member's gaming habits, you can contact our support team at support@a45com.best. Our team can discuss options available to you and provide guidance on how to talk to a loved one about problem gambling.

Yes, completely. All responsible gaming tools on A45com — deposit limits, session limits, loss limits, cool-off periods, self-exclusion, and reality check alerts — are available at no cost to every registered player. There are no hidden charges or account penalties for using them.

Yes. The vast majority of A45com players enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment without any issues. The key is to set a budget, stick to it, and play for fun rather than to make money. Use the tools available — even if you do not think you need them — as a good habit. Setting a deposit limit from day one is one of the smartest things any new player can do.
