₱ PHP Yes. The minimum deposit at ph497 is ₱100 for GCash and Maya deposits. Bank transfer minimums may vary depending on your bank.

GCash Maya GCash and Maya withdrawals are typically processed within 1 to 3 hours during business hours (8 AM – 10 PM PHT). Bank transfers may take 1 to 2 business days depending on your bank. All withdrawals go through a security review before being released, which is standard practice for licensed online casinos operating in the Philippines.

Common reasons for a delayed withdrawal include:

• Your KYC verification has not been completed yet
• You have an active bonus with wagering requirements that have not been met
• The withdrawal amount exceeds your daily limit and requires manual review
• Additional identity verification has been requested by ph497's compliance team

If your withdrawal has been pending for more than 24 hours with no update, contact ph497 support with your withdrawal reference number.

ph497 offers a welcome bonus for new players upon their first deposit. The exact bonus amount and terms are displayed on the ph497 Casino page and may be updated periodically. To claim the welcome bonus, make sure to opt in during the registration or first deposit process. Bonuses are subject to wagering requirements — please 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 ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means you need to place a total of ₱10,000 in bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. Different games contribute different percentages toward wagering — slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute less. Always check the specific bonus terms on ph497 for the exact details.
