Account & Registration

How do I create a ph163 account?

Creating a ph163 account takes less than 2 minutes. Visit the ph163 website or mobile platform, click the registration button, and provide your mobile number, email address, full legal name as it appears on your government ID, date of birth (you must be 21+), and residential address. Choose a strong password, accept the Terms & Conditions, and verify your email or mobile number via OTP. Once verified, your ph163 account is active and you can make your first deposit using GCash, Maya, or bank transfer.

What documents do I need to verify my ph163 account?

ph163 requires identity verification to comply with PAGCOR regulations. You'll need a valid government-issued photo ID such as Philippine Passport, Driver's License, UMID, SSS ID, PhilHealth ID, Postal ID, or Voter's ID. Additionally, provide proof of residential address dated within the last three months like a utility bill, bank statement, or government correspondence. Some players may also need to submit a selfie holding their ID. Upload clear, legible photos through your ph163 account settings or send them to [email protected].

Why can't I log in to my ph163 account?

If you're unable to log in to ph163, first verify that you're entering the correct username or mobile number and password. Passwords are case-sensitive. If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it via email or SMS. Your account may be temporarily locked after multiple failed login attempts for security reasons; wait 30 minutes and try again. If you still can't access your account, contact ph163 customer support via live chat available 24/7.

Can I have more than one ph163 account?

No, ph163 strictly prohibits multiple accounts per player. Each Filipino player is permitted only one active ph163 account in accordance with our Terms & Conditions and PAGCOR regulations. Creating multiple accounts to abuse bonuses, evade deposit limits, or circumvent self-exclusion violates our policies and may result in permanent closure of all accounts and forfeiture of balances. If you accidentally created a duplicate account, contact ph163 support immediately to resolve the issue before making any deposits.

How do I close or delete my ph163 account?

To close your ph163 account, contact customer support via live chat or email at [email protected] and request account closure. You'll need to withdraw any remaining balance before closure. If you have active bonuses, you must either complete the wagering requirements or forfeit them. Account closure is permanent and cannot be reversed. If you need a temporary break instead, consider using the cooling-off period or self-exclusion tools available in your ph163 account settings under Responsible Gaming.

Deposits & Withdrawals

What is the minimum deposit on ph163?

The minimum deposit on ph163 is ₱100 PHP for all payment methods including GCash, Maya, QR Ph, InstaPay, and bank transfers.

Withdrawal limits vary by account tier, with VIP players enjoying higher daily and monthly withdrawal limits.

Does ph163 charge withdrawal fees?

ph163 does not charge fees for GCash, Maya, or bank transfer withdrawals. However, your bank or e-wallet provider may impose their own transaction fees. For example, some banks charge fees for receiving InstaPay or PesoNet transfers, and GCash may deduct fees for cash-out transactions. ph163 VIP players may be eligible for additional free withdrawals per month as part of their VIP benefits.

Wagering requirements (also called rollover or playthrough requirements) specify how many times you must bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw winnings derived from that bonus.

Can I use ph163 bonuses on any game?

Certain games may be excluded entirely from bonus wagering, including progressive jackpot slots and some table games.
