Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between InstaPay and PESONet?
InstaPay is real-time and capped at ₱50,000 per transaction and ₱500,000 per day, settling in minutes 24/7. PESONet moves money in scheduled batches with no fixed per-transaction cap, usually the same or next banking day. Use InstaPay for speed, PESONet for large single transfers.
How fast are GCash cashouts?
GCash payouts ride InstaPay, so once KYC is complete and the operator approves, funds usually arrive within minutes to a few hours, any day of the week. First-time or large withdrawals may take longer for a manual check.
What is the maximum I can withdraw at once?
On InstaPay, ₱50,000 per transaction and ₱500,000 per day. For a larger single payout, use PESONet or a direct bank transfer, which have no fixed per-transaction cap but settle in batches.
Why do I have to complete KYC?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is a PAGCOR requirement, not something operators invented. It confirms your identity and age (21+) and protects your account. You submit a valid government ID once, reviewed within about 24–48 hours.
Which IDs are accepted for verification?
Common Philippine IDs work: passport, SSS card, UMID, PhilHealth card, driver's license or PRC ID. The account and payment wallet must be in your own name; third-party accounts are rejected.
What is RTP and does it guarantee my winnings?
RTP is a game's long-run theoretical payout across millions of rounds, not a per-session promise. A 97% slot does not return ₱97 of every ₱100 you bet today; short-session results vary widely. Use it to compare games, not to predict a session.
Can an operator change a JILI game's RTP?
Yes. JILI offers several configurable RTP tiers (commonly 92–97%) and the operator picks which to run. The game plays identically; only the long-run payback differs. Our RTP Database explains the catch.
Are fishing and live casino games fair?
Yes. Slots and fishing use certified RNG, while live casino replaces RNG with a real dealer and physical cards, wheels or dice on camera. Outcomes cannot be controlled by the operator.
How old do I need to be to play?
You must be at least 21 years old under Philippine gaming law. Age is verified during KYC, and any account found to belong to a minor is closed.
