1901 Responsible Gaming

At 1901, we believe that gaming should always be a source of entertainment — not stress, financial strain, or harm. Our Responsible Gaming programme gives every Philippines player the tools and knowledge to stay in control, set personal limits, and enjoy the platform safely. We take our duty of care seriously, and this page explains how we support healthy play habits across our sports betting and casino-style games.

Tools to Keep You in Control

1901 provides every registered player in the Philippines with a set of practical tools designed to support informed, balanced, and enjoyable gaming. These features are available directly through your account settings at any time.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much Philippine pesos you can deposit into your 1901 account. Once a limit is active, it cannot be raised immediately — a cooling-off period applies to protect against impulsive increases. Lowering a limit takes effect right away. This tool is one of the most effective ways to keep spending within a budget you are comfortable with. You can review and adjust your deposit limit at any time from your account dashboard.

Session Time Reminders

Choose how long you want each gaming session to last before receiving an on-screen reminder. When your set time is reached, 1901 will notify you so you can make a conscious decision about whether to continue or take a break. Regular breaks are encouraged as they help maintain perspective and prevent extended play that can become habitual. You decide the reminder interval that works best for you, whether that is 30 minutes, one hour, or longer. Keeping sessions time-aware is a simple but powerful habit for responsible play.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gaming, you can apply a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days directly from your account. During this period, your account is temporarily restricted from placing bets or making deposits, giving you space to step back without permanently closing your account. This option is ideal for players who recognise early signs of problematic behaviour and want to take proactive action. The restriction is applied immediately upon request and cannot be reversed until the selected period has fully elapsed. We encourage players to use this feature whenever they feel the need for a pause.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel their gaming has become a serious concern, 1901 offers a formal self-exclusion option that closes account access for a minimum of six months or permanently. Self-exclusion is a firm commitment — once applied, it cannot be reversed during the chosen period, and any remaining account balance will be returned to the player in accordance with our withdrawal procedures. Players who choose self-exclusion are encouraged to seek professional support during and after the exclusion period. Our support team can provide information on recognised help organisations available in the Philippines. Self-exclusion is a courageous step and one we fully support.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Understanding the warning signs is the first step toward getting help. These indicators apply to sports betting, casino-style games, and all forms of online wagering.

  • Spending more money or time on gaming than you originally intended, and finding it difficult to stop once you have started.
  • Chasing losses by placing additional bets in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost in previous sessions.
  • Borrowing money or neglecting bills, food, rent, or other essential expenses in order to fund gaming activity.
  • Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when trying to reduce or stop playing, or when access to gaming is unavailable.
  • Hiding gaming activity from family members, friends, or colleagues, or lying about the amount of time or money spent.
  • Using gaming as a primary way to escape from stress, personal problems, loneliness, or difficult emotions rather than as occasional entertainment.
  • Continued gaming despite repeated promises to yourself or loved ones that you would cut back or stop entirely.
  • Neglecting work responsibilities, studies, family commitments, or social activities because of the time devoted to gaming.

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, please do not hesitate to reach out. The 1901 support team is available in-app, and we can connect you with professional resources. You can also visit our FAQ page for more guidance on using our responsible gaming tools.

Under-21 Policy

1901 strictly prohibits access to its platform by any person under the age of 21, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. During the registration process, all applicants are required to provide valid government-issued identification confirming they meet the minimum age requirement. Any account found to belong to an underage individual will be immediately closed and all funds returned. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use device-level parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you suspect that a minor has registered on 1901, please report this to our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

Tips for Healthy Play

  • Treat gaming as entertainment with a fixed budget — never gamble with money needed for daily expenses, rent, or savings.
  • Set a strict time limit before each session and use the 1901 session reminder tool to keep track of how long you have been playing.
  • Never chase losses — accept that losing is a normal part of gaming and resist the urge to bet more to recover what was lost.
  • Take regular breaks and balance gaming with other leisure activities, social time, and physical activity.
  • Talk openly with people you trust if gaming starts to feel less like fun and more like an obligation or a way to cope with stress.
