Your Player Protection Tools

1wim gives every registered player direct access to a full suite of responsible gaming controls — available anytime from your account dashboard. These tools are free, easy to use, and take effect immediately.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your 1wim account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set time period. When your net losses reach the limit you have chosen, 1wim will automatically prevent further wagering until the period ends. This tool helps you stay within your personal budget at all times.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your session time is up, 1wim will display a reminder and give you the option to continue or log out. You can also set a mandatory break period between sessions to help maintain a healthy balance between gaming and daily life.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen pop-ups that show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won during the current session. Reality checks are a gentle but effective reminder to pause, reflect, and decide whether to continue playing or take a break.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from 1wim without permanently closing your account. You can set a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers. This is ideal if you feel you need a temporary pause to reassess your gaming habits.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is becoming a problem, you can request a full self-exclusion from 1wim. This permanently blocks access to your account for a minimum period of six months, up to five years or indefinitely. During self-exclusion, your account cannot be reopened under any circumstances until the period expires.

How to Self-Exclude on 1wim

Requesting self-exclusion is straightforward and takes effect within minutes of your request being confirmed. Here is how to do it:

  1. Log in to your 1wim account and navigate to the Account Settings section from your profile menu.
  2. Select Responsible Gaming from the settings menu to access all player protection tools.
  3. Click on Self-Exclusion and choose your preferred exclusion period — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or indefinite.
  4. Confirm your request. You will receive an email confirmation and your account will be locked immediately.
  5. If you need additional support, contact our 24/7 Filipino support team at [email protected] and we will assist you directly.
Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. Any attempt to create a new account during a self-exclusion period is a violation of our Terms and Conditions and will result in permanent account closure.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Resources

1wim operates in alignment with the responsible gaming framework established by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). PAGCOR provides a national responsible gaming program designed to protect Filipino players and their families from the harms of problem gambling.

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, we strongly encourage reaching out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources. The PAGCOR responsible gaming hotline provides free, confidential support to players across the Philippines — from Manila and Cebu to Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and beyond.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Hotline
Available to all Filipino players seeking help with problem gambling. Contact PAGCOR directly through their official government channels for free, confidential counseling and support services.

1wim also cooperates fully with PAGCOR's national self-exclusion registry. If you have registered with PAGCOR's exclusion program, please notify us at [email protected] so we can ensure your 1wim account is also excluded in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines
A fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling problem. Meetings are held regularly in Manila, Cebu, and other major Philippine cities.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. Knowing the warning signs early is the first step toward getting help. If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, please reach out.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost, often leading to larger and larger bets and deeper financial losses.

Gambling Beyond Your Means

Spending money on gambling that was intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or school fees for your family.

Neglecting Relationships

Withdrawing from family, friends, or work responsibilities because of time or money spent on gambling. Feeling irritable or restless when not gambling.

Hiding Gambling Activity

Lying to family members or loved ones about how much time or money is being spent on gambling, or feeling the need to keep gambling a secret.

Needing to Bet More to Feel the Same Thrill

Gradually increasing the size of bets to achieve the same level of excitement — a sign that tolerance is building, similar to substance dependency.

Gambling to Escape Problems

Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems rather than as a form of entertainment and leisure.

Quick Self-Assessment

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be worth speaking to someone about your gaming habits. Remember — there is no shame in asking for help, and 1wim's support team is always here for you.

Have you ever gambled with money you could not afford to lose?
Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same feeling of excitement?
Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by gambling more?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gambling?
Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships, work, or studies?
Have you ever felt guilty, anxious, or depressed after a gambling session?
Have you ever hidden your gambling activity from family or friends?
Have you ever thought about stopping but found it difficult to do so?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to use 1wim's self-exclusion or cool-off tools, or to contact our support team at [email protected] for a confidential conversation. You can also reach out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming program for professional support.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At 1wim, responsible gaming is not just a regulatory checkbox — it is a genuine commitment that shapes how we design our platform, train our support team, and interact with every Filipino player who chooses to play with us. We understand that for the vast majority of players, gaming on 1wim is a fun and entertaining pastime. But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can become a problem, and we take that seriously.

Our responsible gaming program is built around three core principles: prevention, early intervention, and support. We work to prevent problem gambling by enforcing strict age verification (21+ only, in line with Philippine law), providing clear information about the risks of gambling, and making our player protection tools easy to find and use. We intervene early by monitoring for signs of at-risk behavior and proactively reaching out to players who may need support. And we provide ongoing support through our 24/7 Filipino-speaking customer service team and our partnerships with PAGCOR and other responsible gaming organizations.


Age Verification — 21+ Strictly Enforced

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online gambling is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. 1wim enforces this requirement rigorously. Every new player must complete a full identity verification process before they can make a deposit or place a wager on the platform.

Our KYC (Know Your Customer) process requires players to submit a valid government-issued ID — such as a Philippine passport, driver's license, SSS ID, UMID, or PhilSys national ID — along with a selfie for biometric verification. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a person aged 21 or older will be suspended immediately, and any funds held in the account will be returned to the verified payment source.

We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. If you suspect that a minor has accessed 1wim, please contact us immediately at [email protected].


Tips for Playing Responsibly on 1wim

Whether you are a new player or a long-time member of the 1wim community, these practical tips can help you keep your gaming experience positive and under control:

  • Set a budget before you play — decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending and stick to it. Use 1wim's deposit limit tool to enforce your budget automatically.
  • Treat gaming as entertainment, not income — the house always has an edge over time. Never rely on gambling winnings to pay bills or cover essential expenses.
  • Take regular breaks — use 1wim's session time limit and reality check features to remind yourself to step away and recharge.
  • Never gamble when emotional — avoid playing when you are stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. Decisions made in these states are rarely good ones.
  • Keep gaming in perspective — maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other activities you enjoy, including time with family and friends in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or wherever you call home.
  • Know when to stop — if you have reached your budget or time limit, log out. There will always be another day to play on 1wim.
  • Talk to someone — if gaming is causing you stress or financial difficulty, do not keep it to yourself. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or professional counselor.
