phwi Frequently Asked Questions

phwi requires a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as your PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's licence, SSS/UMID card, or PRC ID — along with a selfie taken at the time of submission. KYC verification is mandatory before your first withdrawal can be processed. Submitting clear, unedited photos speeds up the review, which typically takes one to two business days.

No. Each individual is permitted to hold only one phwi account. Creating multiple accounts — for example to claim the welcome bonus more than once — is a violation of phwi's Terms and Conditions. Duplicate accounts will be closed and associated balances forfeited. If you have lost access to your original account, please contact phwi support to recover it.

Note that if you are closing your account for gambling-related reasons, phwi recommends using the self-exclusion tool first, which also blocks you from creating a new account during the exclusion period.

The minimum deposit at phwi is ₱100 for GCash and Maya transactions. Minimum deposit amounts may vary slightly depending on the payment channel used.

Always check the deposit page for the latest minimums before transacting.

GCash deposits at phwi are typically credited within one to three minutes of a successful transaction.
