Tools to Keep You in Control
a45 provides practical account tools so every player in the Philippinescan manage their gaming habits with confidence.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. This helps you stay within a budget you are comfortable with and prevents impulsive top-ups during a losing streak.
Session Time Reminders
Enable session time alerts so you receive a notification after a set period of play. Long gaming sessions can affect your judgement and enjoyment, so regular reminders help you take breaks and return to the game with a clear head. You can customise the reminder interval to suit your own schedule.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that you need a longer break from gaming, our self-exclusion tool allows you to suspend your account for a chosen period — from 30 days up to a permanent closure. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets on the a45 platform.
Reality Checks
Reality check pop-ups display your current session duration and net win or loss at regular intervals while you play. These brief on-screen summaries give you an honest picture of your gaming activity so you can make informed decisions about whether to continue or stop for the day.
Activity History
Your full transaction and gaming history is available in your account dashboard at any time. Reviewing your activity regularly is one of the most effective ways to spot patterns that may indicate your gaming is becoming less recreational and more habitual. Transparency is a core part of how we support our players.
Account Cooling-Off
A cooling-off period lets you pause your account for a short time — typically 24 hours to 7 days — without committing to a full self-exclusion. This is useful when you feel you need a brief pause to reassess your gaming habits before deciding whether to continue playing on the platform.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or experience. It often develops gradually, and many players do not realise there is an issue until it has already begun to affect their daily life, relationships, or finances. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step toward getting help.
Common signs that gaming may have become a problem include spending more money than you can afford to lose, chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets, feeling anxious or irritable when you are not playing, neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming, and borrowing money to fund your gaming activity. If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek support as soon as possible.
Remember that gaming is meant to be an enjoyable leisure activity, not a source of income or a way to cope with stress. If it stops being fun, it is time to take a break and speak to someone who can help.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Spending more than you planned or can afford
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
- Feeling restless or irritable when not playing
- Borrowing money specifically to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or family commitments
- Using gaming to escape stress or negative emotions

Protecting Minors
a45 strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years old for all registered players, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. During the registration process, all applicants are required to provide a valid government-issued ID to verify their age and identity before their account is activated. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and will immediately close any account found to belong to a person under the legal age.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls and ensuring that your a45 account credentials are never shared or left accessible. If you suspect that a minor has accessed a gaming platform, please report it to our support team immediately so we can take appropriate action to protect the child and comply with our regulatory obligations.
21+ Only
Gaming on a45 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above as required under Philippine law. Age verification is mandatory for every new account.
