Eligibility & Registration
To register for and maintain an active 989ph account, you must satisfy all of the following eligibility conditions at the time of registration and on a continuous basis throughout your use of the Platform:
- You must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age. 989ph complies with PAGCOR's minimum gambling age requirement for online casino services in the Philippines. Age verification documents will be requested before any withdrawal is processed.

- You must hold and use only one (1) Account. Opening duplicate accounts — regardless of email address, mobile number, or payment method used — is a material breach of these Terms.
989ph reserves the right to request supporting documentation (government-issued photo ID, proof of address, source of funds declaration) from any User at any time in accordance with its KYC obligations under applicable Philippine regulations.
Section 3
Account Rules
You are solely responsible for all activity conducted through your 989ph Account. The following rules apply to all registered accounts on the Platform:
- You must maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials at all times. You must not share your username, password, or OTP codes with any third party.
- You must not permit any other person to access or use your Account. Accounts are personal and non-transferable.
- You must notify 989ph immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your Account. 989ph is not liable for losses resulting from your failure to protect your credentials.
- Accounts showing no login activity for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months may be designated as dormant. Dormant accounts may be subject to an administrative maintenance fee as permitted by applicable law, the details of which will be communicated to the User's registered mobile number before deduction commences.
- 989ph may suspend or permanently close any Account at its sole discretion, including but not limited to cases of suspected fraud, bonus abuse, terms violations, regulatory direction, or money laundering activity. Where possible, 989ph will provide reasonable prior notice; however, no notice is required where delay would pose a risk to the Platform or its users.
Section 4
Deposits & Withdrawals
989ph accepts deposits and processes withdrawals exclusively through approved payment channels. All financial transactions are subject to the following terms:

- 989ph targets withdrawal processing times of fifteen (15) minutes for GCash and Maya, and same-business-day for bank transfers, subject to the payment provider's own processing schedule, KYC status, and the absence of any account investigation.
- 989ph is not responsible for delays or failures caused by payment providers, banking networks, or telecommunications infrastructure beyond its control.
- All deposits must come from a source owned and controlled by the registered User. Deposits suspected to originate from third parties or illegal sources will be blocked and reported to relevant authorities as required by Philippine law.
- Currency: all balances, wagers, and payouts on 989ph are denominated in Philippine Peso (PHP / ₱).
Section 5
Bonuses & Promotions
989ph offers various promotional bonuses to registered players. All bonuses are subject to the following general conditions, as well as any specific terms published with each individual promotion:
- Bonuses are intended for recreational play only. Any User who 989ph determines is exploiting bonus mechanics — including but not limited to low-risk hedging strategies, multi-accounting, or collusion — will have their bonus forfeited and may have their Account suspended.
- Wagering requirements must be completed in full before bonus funds or winnings derived from bonus funds may be withdrawn. Wagering requirements vary by promotion and are stated explicitly in each offer's individual terms.
- Not all Games contribute equally to wagering requirements. Slots typically contribute 100%; live casino and table games contribute at reduced rates as specified in promotion terms. Sports betting, bingo, and sabong contribution rates are stated per promotion.
- 989ph reserves the right to modify, suspend, or withdraw any promotion at any time without prior notice. Any wagering completed on a bonus that is subsequently revoked due to a Terms violation will not be refunded.
- Only one active bonus may apply to an Account at any given time unless explicitly stated otherwise in a promotion's terms.
- Bonuses are valid for the period stated in their individual terms. Expired bonuses and any associated uncompleted wagering will be removed from the Account without compensation.
Specific wagering requirements, minimum odds, maximum bet limits during bonus play, and other promotion-specific terms are published on the relevant promotions page and form part of this Agreement when a bonus is accepted.
Section 6
Game Rules & Fair Play
All Games available on 989ph are subject to individual game rules published within each game interface. In addition, the following general provisions apply:
- All digital casino games on 989ph use independently certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology to ensure unpredictable and statistically fair outcomes. Live dealer games are conducted by human dealers on audited equipment.
- The published Return to Player (RTP) percentages for all slot titles represent theoretical long-run statistical averages, not guaranteed returns on any individual session or bet.
- In the event of a software malfunction, interrupted connection, or any other technical error that causes a game round to fail to complete as intended, 989ph reserves the right to void affected rounds and refund the wagered stake. No additional compensation will be payable.
- 989ph is not responsible for losses incurred due to a User's internet connection failure, device malfunction, or power interruption during a game session.
- Disputes regarding game outcomes must be raised with 989ph support within seventy-two (72) hours of the relevant game round. Claims submitted after this period may not be investigated.
Section 7
