Gaming Should Always Stay Fun

Here at IM 2015, we genuinely believe that the best gaming experience is one where you're always in control. Online gaming — whether you're betting on volleyball, playing poker, joining sabong, or spinning the reels on fishing games — is meant to be a form of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial pressure.

Responsible gaming isn't just a policy checkbox for us. It's something we actively build into the IM 2015 platform, because we care about the wellbeing of every single player in our community — from Luzon to Visayas to Mindanao. Maraming kabayan ang nagtitiwala sa amin, and that trust comes with a real responsibility.

This page gives you everything you need to keep your gaming habits healthy: practical tools, honest self-assessment questions, warning signs to watch out for, and direct access to professional support resources available in the Philippines.

Remember: If gaming stops being fun and starts feeling like a need, that's a sign it's time to step back. IM 2015 is here to help — not judge.

Enjoy Gaming the Right Way

IM 2015 players across the Philippines can set limits, take breaks, and access support — all from within their own accounts.

IM 2015 Responsible Gaming Tools

We've built practical tools directly into your IM 2015 account so you can stay in control without needing to contact support every time.

Deposit Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap straight from your IM 2015 account settings. Once you set a limit, it kicks in immediately. Increasing a limit takes 24 hours to take effect — a cooling-off period by design.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session length per day. When your time is up, IM 2015 will log you out automatically. No more "just one more game" spiral — your limit is your limit.

Reality Check Alerts

Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals showing you exactly how long you've been playing and your net win/loss for the session. A quick gut-check to keep things in perspective.

Take a Break

Need a quick breather? Use the "Take a Break" feature to temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account will be inaccessible during that period — no exceptions.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break or want to stop completely, you can request full self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once activated, your account is closed and you won't be able to reopen it during the exclusion period.

Third-Party Exclusion

Worried about a family member or close friend? A verified third party — such as a spouse or parent — can request exclusion on behalf of a player. Reach out to our support team at support@im2015.best to start the process.

How to Use These Tools

Log in to your IM 2015 account, go to Account Settings, then tap on Responsible Gaming. Under "Deposit Limits," choose your preferred period (daily, weekly, or monthly) and enter your desired amount in Philippine Peso (₱). Hit Save — your limit takes effect immediately. Remember: lowering your limit is instant, but increasing it has a mandatory 24-hour waiting period.

From your account dashboard, head to Responsible Gaming and select Take a Break. Choose your preferred duration: 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Once confirmed, your account will be immediately suspended for that period. You won't be able to log in, deposit, or place bets until the break ends. Pending withdrawals will still be processed normally.

Self-exclusion is a more serious, longer-term step. Go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion. Choose 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Your account will be permanently closed for the chosen period — you cannot reverse this yourself. Any remaining balance will be paid out after identity verification. During exclusion, IM 2015 will not send you marketing communications.

In your Responsible Gaming settings, toggle on Reality Check Alerts and set your preferred interval — every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. A pop-up will appear at your chosen intervals showing your session time and net win/loss. You can choose to continue playing or log out directly from the alert.

You can reach our IM 2015 support team 24/7 via live chat or email at support@im2015.best. Our team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with full confidentiality and zero judgment. If you need professional mental health support, we strongly encourage reaching out to a licensed counsellor or the appropriate local support services available in the Philippines.

Know the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can sneak up on anyone — even the most casual player. Here's what to watch out for in yourself or someone you care about.

Signs You May Need a Break

You're spending more money than you planned — and going back to deposit more even after big losses.

You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not able to play — like something's missing.

You're chasing losses — trying to win back money you've already lost by betting more.

You're hiding how much time or money you spend gaming from your family or friends.

Gaming is affecting your work, studies, relationships, or sleep in noticeable ways.

You've borrowed money, sold items, or redirected household budget to fund gaming.

Tips for Keeping It Healthy

1

Set a budget before you play. Decide upfront how much you're comfortable spending — think of it as your entertainment budget for the day, like eating out or watching a movie.

2

Never chase losses. If today's not your day, close the app and come back another time. Chasing losses rarely works and almost always makes things worse.

3

Don't play under pressure or when upset. Emotional decisions lead to impulsive bets. Play when you're calm and relaxed — hindi dapat ito stress, dapat saya.

4

Balance gaming with other activities. Spend time with family, join community events, exercise, or pursue hobbies. Gaming is just one part of a full life.

5

Use IM 2015's built-in tools. Set your deposit limits and session timers before each gaming session — not after you've already started.

6

Talk to someone you trust. If you're worried about your habits, don't keep it to yourself. Sharing with a friend, family member, or professional counsellor is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Quick Self-Assessment

Tick any statements that apply to you over the past 30 days. This is private — only you can see your answers.

In the past 30 days, have you…

Check all that apply. The more boxes you tick, the more important it is to use our responsible gaming tools or speak with a professional.
