๐Ÿ‘ค Account & Registration

Creating a w500 account is quick and straightforward. Click the w500 Login link in the navigation menu and select the registration option. You'll need to provide a valid email address, create a secure password, and enter your basic personal details including your full name and date of birth. Once submitted, you'll receive a verification email โ€” click the link inside to activate your account. The whole process takes less than 3 minutes. Players from Manila ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ, Cebu ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ, Davao ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ, Quezon City ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ, and all across the Philippines are welcome to register.
21+ Only. You must be at least 21 years old to register and play at w500. Age verification is required before any withdrawal is processed.

The minimum age to register and play at w500 is 21 years old. This is a strict requirement under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. w500 performs age verification checks during the KYC (Know Your Customer) process. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned. There are no exceptions to this policy.

w500 requires KYC verification before processing your first withdrawal. You'll need to submit:
  • Government-issued photo ID โ€” Philippine passport, SSS ID, UMID, PhilHealth ID, driver's license, or voter's ID
  • Proof of address โ€” utility bill, bank statement, or barangay certificate dated within the last 3 months
  • Selfie with ID โ€” a clear photo of you holding your ID next to your face
Documents can be uploaded directly through your w500 account dashboard. KYC review typically takes 1โ€“3 business days. Once verified, your account is fully unlocked for withdrawals.

No. w500 strictly enforces a one-account-per-player policy. Creating multiple accounts โ€” whether using different email addresses, phone numbers, or payment methods โ€” is a violation of the w500 Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account suspension and forfeiture of all balances. If you've forgotten your login details, use the password reset function rather than creating a new account.

Go to the w500 Login page and click "Forgot Password?". Enter the email address linked to your account and w500 will send you a password reset link. The link is valid for 30 minutes. If you don't see the email, check your spam or junk folder. If you're still having trouble, contact our 24/7 live chat support team for assistance.

You can request account closure by contacting w500 support via 24/7 live chat or by emailing [email protected]. Before closing, any remaining balance will be withdrawn to your registered payment method. Note that if you are closing your account due to gambling concerns, w500 recommends using the self-exclusion tool instead โ€” this provides stronger protection and is processed faster. See our Responsible Gaming page for details.
๐Ÿ’ณ Deposits & Payments

w500 supports the following deposit methods for Filipino players:
  • GCash โ€” instant deposits, most popular among Filipino players
  • PayMaya / Maya โ€” instant e-wallet deposits
  • Bank Transfer โ€” BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, Landbank, PNB, Security Bank
  • Debit Card โ€” Visa and Mastercard debit cards linked to Philippine bank accounts
w500 does not accept credit card deposits or cryptocurrency of any kind, in compliance with Philippine payment regulations.

GCash deposits to w500 are processed instantly โ€” your account balance is updated in real time as soon as the transaction is confirmed on the GCash network. If your deposit hasn't reflected after 5 minutes, take a screenshot of your GCash transaction confirmation and contact w500 live chat support with the reference number. Our team will resolve it promptly.

The minimum deposit at w500 is โ‚ฑ100 for GCash and Maya deposits. For bank transfers, the minimum is โ‚ฑ500 due to bank processing fees. There is no maximum deposit limit for standard accounts, though high-value deposits may trigger additional verification checks as required by PAGCOR anti-money laundering regulations.

w500 does not charge any fees on deposits. However, your payment provider (GCash, your bank, etc.) may apply their own transaction fees depending on your account type and the amount transferred. We recommend checking with your payment provider for their current fee schedule. GCash-to-w500 transfers are typically free for standard GCash accounts.

No. w500 does not accept credit card deposits. Credit card funding of gambling accounts is prohibited in the Philippines under current regulations. w500 fully complies with this rule. Please use GCash, Maya, bank transfer, or a debit card to fund your account instead.
๐Ÿ’ธ Withdrawals & Payouts

Log in to your w500 account and go to the Cashier section. Select Withdraw, choose your preferred payout method (GCash, Maya, or bank transfer), enter the amount, and confirm. Make sure your KYC verification is complete before requesting a withdrawal โ€” unverified accounts cannot process payouts. Withdrawals are sent to the same payment method used for your most recent deposit.

Withdrawal processing times at w500 are as follows:
  • GCash โ€” typically within 15โ€“30 minutes after approval
  • Maya โ€” typically within 15โ€“30 minutes after approval
  • Bank Transfer (BPI, BDO, Metrobank, etc.) โ€” 1โ€“3 business days depending on the receiving bank
All withdrawal requests are reviewed by our finance team first, which usually takes up to 24 hours. Requests submitted on weekends or Philippine public holidays may take slightly longer. If your withdrawal hasn't arrived after the expected timeframe, contact our live chat support with your transaction reference number.

The minimum withdrawal amount at w500 is โ‚ฑ200 for GCash and Maya. For bank transfers, the minimum is โ‚ฑ500. There is no fee charged by w500 on standard withdrawals, though your bank may apply receiving fees for bank transfer payouts. We recommend GCash for the fastest and most fee-free withdrawal experience.

A withdrawal may be placed on hold for several reasons:
  • Your KYC verification is incomplete or documents are still under review
  • You have an active bonus with wagering requirements that haven't been met yet
  • The withdrawal amount triggers a routine security review
  • There is a mismatch between your account details and your payment method name
In all cases, our support team will notify you via email with the specific reason and what steps are needed to release the funds. You can also check the status in your account's Transaction History section.

Yes.

Live dealer games are streamed from licensed studios with real dealers and physical equipment, providing an additional layer of transparency.

Zuma Dragon is one of w500's most popular specialty games โ€” a fast-paced, visually exciting title with unique mechanics inspired by classic arcade gameplay. Players place bets and aim to match symbols or trigger bonus rounds for multiplied payouts. Full game rules, paytables, and demo mode are available on the Zuma Dragon game page.

Visit the Dino Hunter page for full rules, bet ranges, and tips on maximizing your winnings.
๐ŸŽ Bonuses & Promotions

w500 offers a welcome bonus for new players upon their first qualifying deposit. The exact bonus amount, percentage match, and minimum deposit requirement are displayed on the w500 Casino promotions page and may be updated periodically. All welcome bonuses come with wagering requirements that must be met before any bonus-derived winnings can be withdrawn. Always read the full bonus terms before claiming.

Wagering requirements (also called playthrough requirements) specify how many times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings derived from it. For example, a โ‚ฑ1,000 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means you need to place a total of โ‚ฑ20,000 in bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. Different games contribute different percentages toward wagering โ€” slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute less. Check the specific bonus terms for full details.

Most w500 bonuses are credited automatically after a qualifying deposit. Some promotions require you to enter a bonus code during the deposit process โ€” the code will be clearly displayed on the promotion page. If a bonus hasn't been credited within 30 minutes of your qualifying deposit, contact our live chat support team with your deposit reference number and they'll sort it out right away.

We strongly recommend enabling 2FA, especially if you access w500 from shared or public devices.

  • Contact w500 live chat support to flag the account for security review
