Registering on 898 is straightforward, but there are a few things worth knowing before you start. This section covers eligibility, what to prepare, and how the verification process works for players across the Philippines.
Who Can Register
898 is open to Philippine residents who are at least 21 years of age. This age requirement is firm – it applies to all games on the platform including slots, live casino, sports betting, eBingo, and online poker. You will be asked to confirm your date of birth during registration, and identity verification will be required before your first withdrawal.
Each person may hold only one registered account. Creating multiple accounts is a violation of the Terms and Conditions and will result in account suspension. If you have played on 898 before and believe your account was closed in error, contact support rather than creating a new registration.
What Information You Will Need
The registration form asks for your full legal name (as it appears on a Philippine government-issued ID), mobile number, email address, date of birth, and a password of your choice. Your mobile number needs to be active as it will receive an OTP verification code as part of the sign-up process.
Make sure the name you enter matches your ID exactly. Mismatches between your registered name and your verification documents can delay withdrawal processing later on.
Account Verification (KYC)
Before your first withdrawal from 898, you will need to complete identity verification. This involves submitting a copy of a valid Philippine government-issued ID such as a passport, national ID, driver's license, or SSS ID. The verification process protects your account and ensures withdrawals are sent to the correct person.
You do not need to complete KYC before making deposits or playing games – only before withdrawing. Getting it done early means faster processing when you are ready to withdraw.
Deposits After Registration
Once your account is active and your mobile number is verified, you can make your first deposit. 898 accepts deposits through Philippine online banking, bank transfer (via InstaPay and PESONet where available), and supported local e-wallets. All deposits and balances are held in PHP – there is no currency conversion involved.
898 does not accept credit cards or cryptocurrency as payment methods for deposits. Only use payment accounts registered in your own name. Third-party deposits are returned where possible and may trigger an account review.
Responsible Gaming from Day One
When you register, consider setting a deposit limit right away. It takes only a moment in your account settings and keeps your gaming spend within a personal budget from the start. Session time alerts are also available and can be set once you are logged in.
Gaming on 898 is entertainment. It carries financial risk, and no game outcome is predictable. The Responsible Gaming page has full details on every tool available to help you play within your own limits.
