Account & Registration

Everything about signing up, verifying your identity, logging in, and managing your by888 account — including what to do if you get locked out or want to close.

Creating a by888 account takes under two minutes.

All associated accounts will be suspended and any bonus balances forfeited. If you have trouble accessing your existing account, contact by888 live support instead of registering a new one.

by888 accepts any valid Philippine government-issued ID for KYC verification: PhilSys ID (national ID), passport, driver's license, SSS ID, UMID, or PRC ID.

On the by888 login page, click "Forgot Password" and enter your registered Philippine mobile number. An OTP will be sent via SMS. Enter the OTP, then set a new password. If your number is no longer active or you no longer have access to it, contact by888 live support directly with your account details and a valid ID to verify ownership.

You can request account closure at any time by contacting by888 live support via in-account chat or by emailing [email protected].

How to fund your by888 account via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank, plus what to expect for withdrawal speeds, minimum amounts, and fees.

The minimum deposit on by888 is ₱100 across all supported payment methods, including GCash, PayMaya, BDO, BPI, and Metrobank.

This is one of the fastest deposit methods available to Filipino players. If a GCash deposit does not reflect in your by888 account within 5 minutes, contact live support with your GCash reference number.

Bonuses & Promotions

How the by888 welcome bonus works, what wagering requirements mean in plain terms, and how Filipino players can make the most of ongoing promotions without getting caught out.

by888 offers a welcome bonus for new registered Filipino players on their first qualifying deposit. Bonus amounts and structures vary by active promotions — visit the by888 Promotions page after logging in to see current offers. All welcome bonuses are subject to wagering requirements, which specify how many times the bonus must be played through before a withdrawal can be made.

A wagering requirement (also called a rollover or turnover) means you must bet a bonus amount a certain number of times before you can withdraw it as cash. For example, a ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means you need to place a total of ₱10,000 in qualifying bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. Specific wagering requirements are stated in each by888 promotion's terms.

Yes. Most bonuses on by888 carry an expiry period — typically 7 to 30 days from the date the bonus is credited to your account. If wagering requirements are not met within the expiry period, the bonus and any associated winnings will be forfeited automatically. Always check the specific terms of each by888 promotion before claiming, as expiry periods vary by offer type.

by888 rewards active Filipino players through its loyalty and VIP tier system. Players accumulate points through regular gameplay, which unlock higher tiers with benefits including faster withdrawal processing, higher withdrawal limits, exclusive reload bonuses, dedicated account management, and priority live support. Details of the current by888 loyalty program tiers are available within your account's promotions section.

Yes. Bonuses on by888 are not restricted by deposit method — GCash, PayMaya, BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and crypto deposits are all eligible for standard bonus promotions unless a specific promotion's terms state otherwise. Some reload bonuses may require a minimum deposit amount to qualify; the exact threshold is stated in the relevant promotion.

Safety & Responsible Gaming

How by888 keeps your account and data secure, the PAGCOR regulatory context, and the responsible gaming tools available to Filipino players who want to stay in control.

by888 operates within the PAGCOR-regulated Philippine online gaming market. PAGCOR — the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation — is the government authority responsible for regulating all gambling activities in the Philippines. by888 applies 256-bit SSL encryption to all data transmissions, enforces strict KYC and AML compliance procedures, and maintains full player fund segregation policies.

Log in to your by888 account, go to Account Settings, and select Responsible Gaming. From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once confirmed. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit applies — this safeguard exists to prevent impulsive decisions during a gaming session.

Self-exclusion is available in your by888 Account Settings under Responsible Gaming. You can choose a period of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is immediately locked for deposits and gameplay, and you are removed from all by888 marketing communications. Self-exclusion periods cannot be shortened or reversed during the selected duration.
For more detail on all available tools including cooling-off periods, session limits, and reality check reminders, visit the by888 Responsible Gaming page.

If you feel that gambling is negatively affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, take action immediately. Use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools in your by888 Account Settings to restrict access. Talk to a trusted family member or close friend. You can also contact by888 live support to request account restrictions at any time. Remember: gambling should always be entertainment, never a financial strategy or an escape.

The fastest way to reach by888 support is via live chat inside your account — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including Philippine public holidays. Average first response time is under 2 minutes. For non-urgent matters or written documentation, you can email [email protected].
