6 Questions

Creating a ph18 account is quick and straightforward. Visit ph18.app and click the Register button on the homepage. You'll be asked to provide your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a secure password.

Once you've filled in your details, you'll need to verify your mobile number via OTP and complete identity verification (KYC) before you can make your first deposit. The entire process typically takes less than ten minutes.

Important: You must be at least 21 years old to register and play at ph18. This is a strict requirement under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. Underage gambling is illegal.

ph18 requires identity verification to comply with PAGCOR regulations and to protect all players. You will need to submit at least one valid government-issued ID. Accepted documents include:

  • Philippine passport
  • SSS / GSIS ID
  • PhilHealth ID
  • Driver's license
  • Unified Multi-Purpose ID (UMID)
  • Voter's ID
  • Philippine National ID (PhilSys)

You may also be asked to submit a selfie holding your ID. KYC verification is usually completed within 24 hours on business days.

On the ph18 Login page, click the "Forgot Password?" link below the login form. Enter the email address or mobile number registered to your ph18 account, and we'll send you a password reset link or OTP.

Follow the instructions in the message to set a new password. For security, ph18 recommends using a strong password that is unique to your ph18 account and not shared with any other service.

If you're still having trouble accessing your account, contact ph18 support at [email protected] and our team will assist you.

No. ph18 strictly allows only one account per person. Creating multiple accounts is a violation of ph18's Terms & Conditions and may result in the permanent suspension of all associated accounts and the forfeiture of any balances or bonuses.

If you believe a duplicate account was created in error, please contact ph18 support immediately so the issue can be resolved.

You can request account closure at any time by contacting ph18 support at [email protected]. Before closing your account, any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method after standard verification.

If you are closing your account due to concerns about your gambling habits, ph18 strongly encourages you to consider self-exclusion instead, which provides additional safeguards. Visit our Responsible Gaming page to learn more.

You can update certain account details — such as your address or contact preferences — directly from your ph18 account settings after logging in. However, changes to core identity information (full name, date of birth, ID number) require you to contact ph18 support and submit supporting documentation, as these are tied to your KYC verification.

To update your registered email or mobile number, contact [email protected] with your request and a valid ID for verification.

Deposits & Withdrawals

6 Questions

ph18 supports the most popular payment methods used by Filipino players. All transactions are processed in Philippine Peso (PHP / ₱). Accepted deposit methods include:

  • GCash — instant deposits, most popular among ph18 players
  • PayMaya / Maya — instant e-wallet deposits
  • Bank Transfer — BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, Landbank, PNB, Security Bank
  • Debit Card — Visa and Mastercard debit cards linked to Philippine bank accounts

ph18 does not accept credit card deposits or any form of cryptocurrency. These payment methods are not permitted under current Philippine regulations for online gaming.

The minimum deposit at ph18 varies by payment method. As a general guide:

  • GCash / Maya: ₱100 minimum deposit
  • Bank Transfer: ₱500 minimum deposit
  • Debit Card: ₱200 minimum deposit

Deposits via GCash and Maya are typically credited to your ph18 account instantly. Bank transfers may take up to one business day depending on your bank's processing times.

ph18 processes withdrawal requests as quickly as possible. Typical processing times are:

  • GCash / Maya: Usually within 1–3 hours after approval
  • Bank Transfer: 1–3 business days depending on your bank
  • Debit Card: 2–5 business days

Before your first withdrawal, you must have completed KYC verification. ph18 may also request additional documentation for large withdrawal amounts as part of standard security checks.

Yes. The minimum withdrawal at ph18 is ₱500 regardless of payment method. There is no maximum withdrawal limit for verified accounts, though very large withdrawals may be subject to additional processing time and security review.

Withdrawals can only be made to a payment method registered in your own name — ph18 does not allow third-party withdrawals.

If your deposit hasn't reflected in your ph18 account after 30 minutes, please check the following:

  • Confirm the transaction was successful on your GCash, Maya, or banking app and that funds were deducted;
  • Make sure you used the correct ph18 deposit reference number or account details;
  • Check that your ph18 account KYC is fully verified — unverified accounts may have deposits held pending verification.

If the issue persists, contact ph18 support at [email protected] with your transaction reference number and screenshot, and our team will investigate promptly.

ph18 does not charge any fees on deposits. For withdrawals, ph18 also does not impose platform-side fees. However, your bank or e-wallet provider (GCash, Maya, etc.) may apply their own transaction fees — please check with your payment provider for their current fee schedule.
