1up Responsible Gaming – Play Smart, Stay in Control

Gaming is entertainment — not a way to earn a living. 1up gives every Filipino player the tools to set limits, stay aware, and get help when they need it.

21+ Only — Play Responsibly
Our Commitment

Gaming Should Always Feel Like Fun

At 1up, we want every player — whether you're in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the Philippines — to enjoy our platform in a way that feels good. Slots, live casino, eBingo, fish games, sports betting on PBA and international matches — all of it is meant to be entertaining, not stressful.

That's why responsible gaming is built into the platform itself, not just mentioned in fine print. We provide real tools that give you genuine control over your activity, and we take it seriously when a player signals they need support.

Important reminder: No game on 1up guarantees a win. Every result is determined by a random number generator (RNG) or live dealer process. Past wins have no effect on future outcomes. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.

This page explains the tools available to you, the warning signs worth knowing, and how to reach out if gaming is starting to feel like less of a hobby and more of a problem.

Player Protection Tools

Built-In Controls to Help You Play Smarter

Deposit Limits

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

Session Time Reminders

Get notified when you've been playing for a set amount of time. It's easy to lose track of the clock — these reminders keep you anchored to your original plan.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from the platform — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this period your account is paused and you won't be able to log in or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for an extended period. This is a firm commitment — you won't be able to re-register during the exclusion window.

Loss Limits

Cap how much you can lose within a set period. When your loss limit is reached, betting is paused automatically so you don't chase losses in the heat of the moment.

Activity History

Review your full gaming history — bets placed, games played, time spent, and amounts wagered — directly from your account dashboard. Visibility is the first step to awareness.

01 How to Access Your Responsible Gaming Tools

All player protection tools are available directly through your 1up account. You don't need to contact support to set a limit or take a break — everything is self-managed from your dashboard.

1

Log in to your 1up account

Access your account from any device — desktop or mobile. All responsible gaming settings are available from the account menu.

2

Go to Player Settings

Navigate to the Responsible Gaming or Player Limits section in your account settings. All protection tools are grouped here for easy access.

3

Choose the tool that fits your situation

Set a deposit limit, apply a loss cap, schedule a cooling-off period, or request full self-exclusion. Changes to stricter limits take effect immediately.

4

Confirm via OTP

For security and to make sure the request is intentional, limit changes and self-exclusion requests require OTP confirmation on your registered mobile number.

5

Contact support if you need help

If you're having trouble accessing the tools or want guidance, our support team can assist. You can also find answers on our FAQ page.

Note on limit changes: Requests to increase a limit or remove a self-exclusion are subject to a mandatory waiting period. This is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider rather than acting on a short-term impulse.

Know the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually and it's not always obvious from the inside. Here are some questions worth asking yourself honestly. If several of these feel familiar, it may be worth taking a step back.

Do you find yourself spending more money on gaming than you originally planned?
Do you chase losses — betting more after losing in an attempt to win back what you've spent?
Is gaming affecting your sleep, your work, your studies, or your relationships?
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not able to play?
Have you borrowed money — from family, friends, or other sources — to fund your gaming?
Do you hide how much time or money you spend on gaming from people close to you?
If several of these resonate: Please use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools in your account, or reach out to our support team. Taking a break is a sign of self-awareness, not weakness.

02 Practical Tips for Staying in Control

Even if gaming feels completely fine right now, good habits keep it that way. These are simple, practical things you can do to make sure 1up stays entertainment and nothing more.

Set a budget in PHP before you start playing and treat it as the ticket price for your entertainment — not an investment.
Decide in advance how long you'll play. Use the session reminder tool to alert you when time is up.
Never chase a loss. A losing streak does not mean a winning streak is coming — each result is independent.
Keep gaming separate from your daily expenses. Only use money you have set aside specifically for leisure.
Take regular breaks — step away from the screen, have a meal, spend time with family or friends in between sessions.
Avoid playing when you're feeling stressed, upset, or under pressure. Emotional states affect decision-making.
Review your activity history regularly. Seeing the actual numbers — time and money — gives you an honest picture.
Talk openly with someone you trust if gaming starts to feel stressful. Keeping it to yourself makes it harder to manage.

03 Protection of Minors – Strictly 21+

1up is an adults-only platform. Registration requires age verification as part of the KYC process, and accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 years of age will be immediately closed and all associated funds returned to the source.

If you share a device or a home with younger family members, we strongly recommend:

  • Using a strong, unique password that others in your household cannot guess.
  • Logging out of your 1up account after every session, especially on shared devices.
  • Enabling device-level parental controls or screen time management tools provided by your operating system or mobile device manufacturer.
  • Having an open conversation with young people at home about responsible digital habits and age-restricted platforms.

If you suspect that a minor has accessed a 1up account — yours or otherwise — please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and act promptly.

04 Self-Exclusion – When You Need a Real Break

Self-exclusion is the strongest player protection tool available on 1up. When you activate it, your account is suspended and you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits for the duration of the exclusion period.

Here is what happens when you self-exclude:

  • Your account is immediately locked for the requested period.
  • Any pending bonuses or promotional offers are forfeited for the duration.
  • You will be removed from any marketing communications for the exclusion period.
  • Your account balance remains intact and is accessible once the exclusion ends — or earlier upon request for account closure.
Re-activation policy: Requests to end a self-exclusion before the chosen period expires are subject to a mandatory review and cooling period. This is designed to protect you from acting on a short-term impulse during a vulnerable moment.

Self-exclusion can be requested through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly. We take every request seriously and process them promptly.

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Log in to your account and navigate to Player Settings, then look for the Responsible Gaming or Limits section. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in PHP. Changes to stricter limits apply immediately and are confirmed via OTP.

No — requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory waiting period before taking effect. This gives you time to reflect on the decision rather than acting impulsively during a gaming session. Decreasing your limit, however, takes effect immediately.

A cooling-off period is a short, temporary pause — typically from 24 hours to a few weeks — after which your account automatically becomes active again. Self-exclusion is a firmer, longer-term commitment where re-activation requires a formal request and a mandatory review period. Both lock your account fully during the chosen window.

Yes. Your account balance is not affected by self-exclusion. The funds remain in your account and are accessible once the exclusion period ends, or you may request a withdrawal to your verified Philippine bank account or e-wallet by contacting support.

Yes, strictly. 1up is an adults-only platform and requires age verification as part of the registration and KYC process. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 years old will be closed immediately and all data securely removed.

The first step is acknowledging it — and the fact that you're asking is already a good sign. Use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools in your account to create space. Talk to someone you trust. And reach out to our support team through your account dashboard — we are here to help, not to judge.
