Why Account Verification (KYC) Matters
Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is an industry-standard security measure designed to protect players and maintain a safe gaming environment.
By confirming that every account owner is an authentic adult living in the Philippines, KYC prevents identity theft, underage gambling, and illegal money laundering.
Completing verification also unlocks key platform benefits for the player, including faster cashout approvals, higher daily withdrawal limits, and eligibility for VIP promotions.
| Account Status | Daily Withdrawal Ceiling | Processing Speed | VIP Promotion Eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unverified / Basic Profile | Limited to ₱10,000 / day | Manual security review queue | Basic welcome promotions only |
| Tier-1 Fully Verified | Up to ₱50,000+ / day | Instant automated release (15 min) | Full access to reload promos & VIP tiers |
Verification is a one-time process; once your account achieves verified status, future withdrawals process without recurring identity checks.

Log into your account, tap your user avatar at the top header, and select Account Verification / KYC.
Select Your ID Type
Choose your ID from the dropdown menu (e.g., PhilSys National ID or Driver's License) and type your ID number.
Upload Front and Back Photos
Take clear, well-lit photos of the front and back of your card. Ensure all four corners are visible.
Submit for Automated Verification
Tap Submit Verification. The compliance team typically reviews and approves submissions within 15 to 30 minutes.
You will receive an in-app notification confirming your verified status once the document review is complete.
Photography & Selfie Verification Guidelines
High-quality document photos guarantee immediate first-attempt approval by automated optical character recognition (OCR) systems.
Keep these photography guidelines in mind before capturing your ID image:
Place your ID flat on a solid, dark, non-reflective surface like a table or desk.
Ensure bright, natural room lighting. Avoid using harsh camera flashes that cause white glare over your name or birthdate.
Make sure the text on the card is crisp, sharp, and easily readable before uploading the file.
Common KYC Rejection Reasons & Solutions
If your verification submission is returned or declined, one of the following factors is almost always the cause:
| Rejection Reason | Why It Failed | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blurry or Unfocused Image | OCR scanner could not extract text accurately. | Retake photo in brighter lighting with steady hands. |
| Cropped Document Corners | Card edges cut off by the camera frame. | Frame the camera shot with all 4 corners visible. |
| Name Mismatch with Profile | Profile name does not match ID legal name. | Contact live chat support to correct profile spelling. |
| Expired ID Document | Document expiration date has passed. | Provide an active, unexpired government ID card. |
You can re-submit updated photos immediately inside the verification portal after addressing the issue.
