Account and Registration

Creating a new sabong account takes under two minutes and is completely free for all players based in the Philippines. Head to the Register page, fill in your name, email address, date of birth, and a secure password, then confirm your email with the verification link that is sent to your inbox. Once verified, your account is active and you can log in immediately to explore the full platform. You must be at least 21 years old to register and play on sabong in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. If you encounter any problem during sign-up, the 24/7 support team is ready to assist you straight away.

Identity verification — sometimes called KYC (Know Your Customer) — is a standard requirement for all licensed gaming platforms operating in the Philippines. Sabong requests a copy of a valid government-issued ID, such as a Philippine passport or driver's licence, to confirm that you are who you say you are and that you meet the minimum age requirement. Verification protects your account from fraud and ensures that withdrawals are always sent to the correct person. Most verifications are completed within a few hours of document submission. Until verification is complete, deposits and basic platform access are available, but withdrawals will be held pending approval.

No — each player is permitted to hold only one sabong account. Maintaining multiple accounts is a breach of the platform's Terms and Conditions and may result in the suspension of all associated accounts and the forfeiture of any bonus balances. If you believe you have accidentally created a duplicate account, please contact the support team immediately so they can help you consolidate your records before any action is taken. This policy is in place to ensure fair play across the platform and to comply with responsible gaming obligations. If you have forgotten your login details, use the password reset function on the login page rather than creating a fresh account.

Most personal details can be updated directly from the Account Settings section of your sabong dashboard after you log in. You can change your contact number, communication preferences, and password without any additional verification in most cases. Core identity details such as your full legal name or date of birth generally require supporting documentation to be updated, because these must match your verified ID on file. If you need to update a core identity field, reach out to the support team and they will guide you through the process. Keeping your details accurate is especially important for smooth and timely withdrawal processing.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Sabong supports the most widely used Philippine payment channels so that players across the country can fund their accounts with ease. Accepted methods include major local e-wallets, online bank transfers from Philippine banks, and over-the-counter payment services available at partner outlets nationwide. All deposits are transacted in Philippine pesos (PHP ₱), so there are no currency conversion fees for local players. The exact list of available payment options is shown on the Cashier page when you are logged in, and the range is updated regularly as new partners are added. Minimum deposit amounts are kept accessible so players with any budget can get started without a large upfront commitment.

Most withdrawal requests submitted by verified sabong members are processed within one to three business days, depending on your chosen payment method and your bank or e-wallet provider's own processing schedule. E-wallet withdrawals tend to be faster than bank transfers in most cases. Before your first withdrawal is approved, your identity verification must be fully complete — this is a one-time requirement that protects your funds. Pending withdrawal requests can be tracked in the Cashier section of your dashboard. If your withdrawal has not arrived within the stated timeframe, contact the support team with your transaction reference and they will investigate promptly.

Sabong does not charge any platform-side fees on standard deposits or withdrawals for Philippine players. However, your bank or e-wallet provider may apply their own transaction fees or charges independent of the platform, and these are beyond our control. It is a good idea to check your provider's fee schedule before initiating a transfer so there are no surprises on the amount that arrives or is deducted. All transaction amounts and any applicable third-party reference fees will be clearly indicated before you confirm a withdrawal. If you see an unexpected deduction, the support team can help you identify whether it originated from the platform or from your payment provider.

Bonuses and Promotions

The welcome bonus is automatically made available to all newly registered sabong members who make a qualifying first deposit. Once your deposit is confirmed, the bonus amount will appear in the Promotions tab of your account dashboard, where you can activate it with a single tap. No separate promo code is required unless a specific campaign states otherwise — just deposit and the offer will be waiting for you. The full terms of the welcome bonus, including the minimum qualifying deposit amount and any wagering requirements, are detailed on the Promotions page. It is always worth reading the terms before activating a bonus so you fully understand how and when the funds become withdrawable.

A wagering requirement is the total amount of real-money bets you need to place before a bonus balance becomes eligible for withdrawal. For example, if you receive a ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement, you need to place a total of ₱10,000 in bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. Your progress toward completing the wagering requirement is tracked in real time on your account dashboard under the active bonus details. Not all game types contribute equally to wagering — sports bets and casino games may have different contribution percentages, which are clearly listed in each promotion's terms. The Bonus page has a detailed breakdown of how wagering is calculated across different game categories.

Yes, you can request a withdrawal at any time, but if you have an active bonus with unmet wagering requirements, the bonus balance and any winnings derived from it will generally be forfeited upon withdrawal of your cash balance. Your real-money deposit and any winnings earned from it using real funds are always yours to withdraw. If you are unsure whether withdrawing will affect your bonus, check the specific bonus terms in your Promotions tab before submitting a withdrawal request. This policy is standard across the industry and is designed to protect both the player and the platform from bonus misuse. The support team can clarify the exact impact of any pending withdrawal on your active bonus at any time.

Security and Responsible Gaming

Sabong uses industry-standard SSL encryption to protect all data transmitted between your device and the platform, which means your login credentials, personal information, and financial transactions are secured at all times. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available and strongly recommended — when enabled, a one-time code is sent to your registered Philippine mobile number every time you sign in, adding a second layer of protection beyond your password. The platform also employs automated fraud detection systems that flag and investigate unusual account activity. Your personal data is handled in accordance with the sabong Privacy Policy, which details exactly what information is collected, how it is used, and who it may be shared with. If you ever suspect unauthorised access to your account, you should change your password immediately and contact the support team.

Sabong is committed to responsible gaming and provides a range of practical tools that give Philippine players full control over their play habits. From your account settings, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to manage how much money you put into your account within any given period. Session time limits allow you to cap how long each playing session can last, and reality check alerts can be set to remind you of how long you have been active. If you feel you need a longer break, a temporary account suspension can be applied immediately through the Responsible Gaming section. For players who need permanent support, self-exclusion is also available — this permanently closes your account and prevents re-registration for a defined period. Visit the Responsible Gaming page for full details on each tool and links to Philippine support organisations.

If this FAQ page has not answered your question, the sabong support team is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for all registered members in the Philippines. Support is delivered in Philippine English so communication is always clear and straightforward. You can reach the team via the contact options available inside your account dashboard after logging in. When you get in touch, have your registered email address and a brief description of your issue ready so the team can assist you as efficiently as possible. Response times are kept short because the team understands that account issues can be time-sensitive, especially while a live bet is in progress or a withdrawal is pending.
