Account & Registration

6 questions

Creating a pharcade account takes about two minutes. Click the Sign Up button on the pharcade homepage, enter your mobile number, email address, and date of birth, then set a secure password. You'll receive a one-time PIN via SMS to verify your number. Once confirmed, your account is active and you can make your first deposit. Full KYC verification is required before your first withdrawal.

pharcade strictly enforces a minimum age of 21 years, in line with PAGCOR's online gaming regulations for the Philippines. Age is checked at registration and confirmed via government-issued ID before any withdrawal is processed. Any account found to belong to someone under 21 is closed immediately and deposits are refunded under applicable PAGCOR guidelines.

pharcade accepts any valid Philippine government-issued ID for KYC: Passport, Driver's License, SSS ID, GSIS e-Card, UMID Card, PhilSys National ID, or Voter's ID. Upload a clear photo of your ID and a selfie holding it through the Verify Identity section in your account settings. Verification is typically completed within 24 hours on business days.

On the pharcade login page, click Forgot Password. Enter the mobile number or email address linked to your account and you'll receive a password reset link or OTP within a few minutes. Follow the prompts to set a new password. If you no longer have access to your registered mobile number or email, contact pharcade live chat support — the team is available 24/7.

No. pharcade permits only one account per person. Creating duplicate accounts violates the Terms and Conditions and may result in all associated accounts being permanently closed and balances forfeited. If you believe a duplicate account was created in error — for example, by a family member using your details — contact pharcade support immediately to resolve it before any wagering occurs.

To permanently close your pharcade account, contact support via live chat or email and request account closure. Any verified Real Money Balance will be returned to your most recently used withdrawal method. Note that closure does not discharge pending wagering requirements or in-progress transactions. If the reason is a gambling concern, pharcade recommends using the self-exclusion tool instead — it's faster and provides stronger protections.

Deposits & Withdrawals

6 questions

Log in to your pharcade account and go to Wallet → Deposit. Choose GCash from the payment options, enter your desired deposit amount (minimum PHP 100), and confirm. You'll be redirected to the GCash app or prompted to enter your GCash-linked mobile number for authorization. Successful GCash deposits are credited to your pharcade wallet within seconds of confirmation from GCash.

The minimum deposit on pharcade is PHP 100 across all supported payment channels — GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank. There is no maximum deposit limit set by pharcade, though your payment provider's own transaction limits may apply. pharcade does not charge any deposit fees; any applicable fees are those of your individual payment provider.

GCash and PayMaya withdrawals on pharcade are typically processed within 15 to 30 minutes, seven days a week including public holidays. Processing times can occasionally extend to 1 hour during peak periods. Bank transfer withdrawals to BPI, BDO, or Metrobank are processed within 1 to 4 hours during standard banking hours. All withdrawals require completed KYC verification first.

The minimum withdrawal on pharcade is PHP 200. Only your Real Money Balance — funds you personally deposited — is withdrawable directly. Bonus credits must satisfy their applicable wagering requirements before any resulting winnings can be withdrawn. pharcade does not charge withdrawal fees, though your bank or e-wallet provider may apply their own transaction charges.

Common reasons for a pending pharcade withdrawal include: incomplete KYC verification, an active wagering requirement on a bonus balance, a security review on a newly added withdrawal method, or a processing queue during high-volume periods. If your withdrawal has been pending for more than 2 hours, contact pharcade live chat with your transaction reference number for a direct status update.

Yes. pharcade accepts deposits via BPI, BDO, and Metrobank online banking transfers. Select your bank under Deposit in your pharcade wallet, follow the transfer instructions displayed, and use the reference number provided. Bank transfer deposits typically reflect within 1 to 15 minutes. Always use the exact reference number shown — deposits without the correct reference may require manual reconciliation and could be delayed.

Games & Gameplay

Yes. pharcade's live casino section features real-time games streamed from professional studio environments with live dealers. Available titles include Baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Roulette, Blackjack, Sic Bo, and Lightning Dice. Live dealer tables on pharcade use physical cards, chips, and wheels — not computer-generated outcomes — so every result is produced in real time, in front of you.

Yes. pharcade's sportsbook covers PBA Philippine Basketball Association games across all three conferences — Philippine Cup, Commissioner's Cup, and Governors' Cup. Markets include match winner, handicap, totals, and in-play live betting during games. pharcade also covers NBA, UFC, international football, and other major sports popular with Filipino bettors throughout the year.

pharcade's electronic games use independently certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology, audited for statistical randomness and compliance with published Return to Player rates.

Bonuses & Promotions

4 questions

pharcade offers a welcome bonus for new registered players on their first qualifying deposit. The bonus is credited automatically to your Bonus Balance when the qualifying deposit clears. Bonus details — including the percentage match, maximum bonus amount, and minimum deposit required — are displayed on the active promotions page. Claiming requires reading and accepting the specific bonus terms before depositing.

A wagering requirement (also called rollover or turnover) is the total amount you must wager using your bonus balance before the resulting winnings can be withdrawn. For example, a PHP 500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means placing PHP 10,000 in total bets using the bonus before cashing out. The specific multiplier for each pharcade bonus is stated in that promotion's individual terms.

Not always. pharcade bonus terms specify game contribution rates toward wagering requirements. Most slots contribute at 100%, while live dealer table games, Baccarat, and certain other titles may contribute at a reduced rate — typically 10% to 20% — or not at all. Progressive jackpot games are often excluded entirely. Always check the contribution table in the specific bonus terms before playing.

Yes. pharcade runs ongoing promotions for existing players including reload deposit bonuses, cashback offers, free spins on selected JILI and PG Soft slots, weekly loss rebates, and seasonal events tied to Filipino holidays and major sports calendars like the PBA playoffs and NBA Finals. Check the Promotions section of your pharcade account regularly — new offers are added throughout the month.

Safety & Responsible Gaming

4 questions

pharcade operates within the PAGCOR-regulated online gaming framework. PAGCOR — the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation — is the government authority that regulates all gambling activity in the Philippines, both land-based and online. Operating under this framework means pharcade meets mandatory standards covering player age verification, fair play, responsible gaming tools, anti-money laundering compliance, and player fund protection.

pharcade provides deposit limits (daily, weekly, monthly), loss limits, session time limits, reality check alerts, cooling-off periods (24 hours to 7 days), and self-exclusion (30 days to permanent). All tools are accessible in Account Settings → Responsible Gaming — no support ticket needed to activate reductions. Limit increases require a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions. Full details on the Responsible Gaming page.

To self-exclude, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Choose your exclusion period — 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent — and confirm. Self-exclusion takes effect immediately: your account is suspended and pharcade stops sending promotional communications for the full duration. If you need urgent self-exclusion, pharcade's 24/7 live chat team can activate it on your behalf right away.

pharcade uses 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and pharcade's servers. Passwords are stored only as cryptographic hashes — never in plaintext. Payment credentials are stored in tokenized form through your e-wallet or bank provider and are never held directly by pharcade. Data processing complies with Republic Act No. 10173, the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012. Full details in the Privacy Policy.
