Questions

The minimum age to register and play on phmacaw is 21 years old, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. This applies to all players regardless of location. phmacaw performs age verification during the KYC (Know Your Customer) process, which requires submission of a valid government-issued ID such as a Philippine passport, UMID, SSS ID, driver's license, or PhilSys national ID. Accounts found to belong to players under 21 will be immediately suspended.

KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is required before you can make your first withdrawal. To complete KYC on phmacaw, log in to your account and go to Account Settings > Verify Identity. You will need to upload:

• A clear photo of a valid government-issued ID (front and back)
• A selfie holding your ID
• Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within 3 months)

phmacaw's verification team typically reviews submissions within 24 to 48 hours. You'll receive an email or SMS notification once your account is verified.

No. phmacaw strictly allows only one account per person. Creating multiple accounts — whether using different names, mobile numbers, or email addresses — is a violation of phmacaw's Terms & Conditions and may result in the permanent suspension of all associated accounts and forfeiture of any balances. If you have forgotten your login credentials, use the Forgot Password feature on the phmacaw Login page instead of creating a new account.

Go to the phmacaw Login page and click "Forgot Password." Enter the mobile number or email address linked to your account. phmacaw will send you a one-time password (OTP) via SMS or email. Enter the OTP, then set a new password. Make sure your new password is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols for security. If you continue to have trouble accessing your account, contact phmacaw support at [email protected].

• Your KYC verification has not been completed yet

If your withdrawal has been pending for more than 24 hours, please contact phmacaw support at [email protected] with your withdrawal reference number.

phmacaw offers a welcome bonus for new Filipino players upon making their first deposit. The bonus amount and terms are displayed on the promotions section of the platform after you log in. Welcome bonuses at phmacaw are subject to wagering requirements, which means you need to wager the bonus amount a specified number of times before it can be withdrawn. Always read the full bonus terms before claiming any offer to understand the conditions that apply.

Wagering requirements (also called playthrough requirements) specify how many times you must wager a bonus amount before you can withdraw it as real money. For example, if phmacaw gives you a ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement, you need to place bets totaling ₱10,000 before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. Different games may contribute differently toward wagering requirements — slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute less. Check the specific bonus terms in your phmacaw account for exact details.
