Tools & Controls

Player Protection Tools on finalmouse

finalmouse provides a range of practical tools that put you in control of your gaming activity at all times. These features are available directly through your account settings and can be adjusted whenever you needthem.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased until a mandatory cooling-off period has passed. This ensures that any decision to raise your limit is made with a clear head, not in the heat of the moment. Lowering your limit, on the other hand, takes effect right away. We recommend all Philippine players set a deposit limit when they first register to establish healthy habits from the start.

Session Time Reminders

You can set a session duration reminder so the platform notifies you when you have been playing for a specified length of time. Regular breaks are an important part of responsible gaming, and our reminder system makes it easy to step away and reset. The reminder appears as an on-screen notification and does not interrupt your session automatically — the choice to continue or stop always remains yours. We encourage players to use this feature alongside deposit limits for a well-rounded approach to safe play. Short, regular breaks help you stay in control and enjoy gaming as entertainment rather than a compulsion.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gaming, you can activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account will be temporarily restricted from placing any bets or making deposits. The cooling-off period begins immediately upon request and cannot be cancelled before it expires. This tool is ideal for players who notice early warning signs of problematic play and want to take a proactive step before the situation escalates. After the period ends, your account will automatically return to normal access.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to close your account for a minimum of six months or permanently. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is immediately suspended and you will not be able to register a new account during the exclusion period. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them without delay. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed and your personal data handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We strongly encourage any player who feels their gaming is out of control to use this option without hesitation.

Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gaming is meant to be a source of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial hardship. Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or experience level, and it is important to recognise the warning signs early. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following, it may be time to seek help or use one of the player protection tools available on finalmouse.

  • Spending more money or time on gaming than you originally intended, and finding it difficult to stop even when you want to.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost.
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of time spent gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gaming activity.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play.
  • Hiding your gaming activity from friends or family members.
  • Using gaming as a way to escape from stress, depression, or personal problems.

Recognising these signs in yourself is a sign of strength, not weakness. The sooner you acknowledge a problem, the easier it is to address. Our support team is available to help you activate any of the player protection tools described on this page, and we will never judge you for reaching out.

Support Organisations in the Philippines

If you feel you need to speak with someone outside of the platform, the following organisations provide confidential support for individuals affected by problem gambling and related mental health concerns in the Philippines. We encourage you to reach out to them at any time — their services are free and available to all Filipinos.

National Center for Mental Health

The NCMH Crisis Hotline provides free, confidential mental health support to Filipinos across the country. If gaming-related stress or anxiety is affecting your daily life, trained counsellors are available to listen and guide you toward appropriate care. You can reach the NCMH hotline at 1553, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are treated with complete confidentiality and no referral is required to access the service.

In Touch Community Services

In Touch Community Services offers counselling and mental health support for individuals and families in the Philippines. Their team of licensed professionals can help you work through the emotional and financial impacts of problem gambling in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Services are available in Filipino and English, making them accessible to players from all regions of the country. Reaching out early gives you the best chance of regaining control and rebuilding a healthy relationship with gaming and finances.

Quick Answers

Responsible Gaming – FAQ

You can set a deposit limit by logging into your 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 budget. The limit takes effect immediately once saved, and any reduction you make is applied right away. If you wish to increase your limit, a mandatory waiting period applies to give you time to reconsider. If you need assistance setting up your limit, our support team is available to guide you through the process.

Self-exclusion periods cannot be cancelled or shortened once they have been activated. This is by design — the purpose of self-exclusion is to give you a genuine, uninterrupted break from gaming, and allowing early cancellation would undermine that goal. For temporary exclusions of six months or more, your account will automatically become accessible again once the period has fully elapsed. For permanent self-exclusion, the closure is final and your account will not be reinstated. We encourage you to consider a cooling-off period first if you are unsure whether a full self-exclusion is right for you.
