Account FAQ — Registration, KYC & How Bonuses Work

How to open an account, verify it once, and understand the fine print on bonuses before you claim them. Getting this right early means smoother cashouts later.

Register and verify — one time only

Signing up takes a couple of minutes: register with your mobile number, set a password, and confirm the OTP. You must be at least 21 years old, as Philippine law requires. Before your first withdrawal you complete KYC (Know Your Customer) — a one-time identity check that takes 24–48 hours to review. It is a PAGCOR requirement that protects your account, not red tape we invented.

  • Accepted IDs: Philippine passport, SSS card, UMID, PhilHealth card, driver's license, or PRC ID.
  • Your name on the ID must match the name on your account and your GCash wallet.
  • KYC is done once — after it clears, cashouts are self-service.

How welcome bonuses and wagering work

A welcome bonus adds funds to your balance, but it comes with a wagering requirement — a multiplier showing how much you must bet before the bonus turns into withdrawable cash. If a ₱200 bonus carries 20x wagering, you need ₱4,000 in qualifying bets before you can cash it out. The bonus is real; the wagering is the condition attached to it.

Claim a bonus without regret

  • Read the wagering multiplier and time limit before you opt in — a big bonus with steep wagering can be worse than a small, easy one.
  • Check which games count and at what percentage, so you don't wager on something that barely moves the requirement.
  • Only claim what you actually plan to play through; a bonus you can't clear just locks up your funds.
  • Never feel pressured — you can play with your own deposited cash and skip bonuses entirely.
