Account & Registration

Everything you need to know about creating and managing your DraftKings account in the Philippines.

DraftKings is open to Filipino residents who are at least 21 years of age, in line with local gaming regulations. You will need a valid government-issued ID to complete identity verification during or after registration. Each person is allowed only one account — duplicate accounts are not permitted and may result in suspension. Registration is free and takes only a few minutes on any device, whether you are using a smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. Once your account is verified, you can make your first deposit in Philippine pesos and start exploring the full game library right away.

After registering, you will be prompted to submit a copy of a valid Philippine government-issued ID — this can be a passport, driver's licence, SSS card, PhilSys national ID, or similar document. You may also be asked to provide a selfie alongside your ID to confirm your identity. The verification process is handled securely and your documents are used solely for compliance purposes. Most accounts are verified within a few hours, though some may take up to 24 hours during peak periods. You can still browse the platform while verification is pending, but deposits and withdrawals will be enabled only once your identity has been confirmed.

On the login page, tap or click the "Forgot password?" link below the password field. Enter the email address associated with your DraftKings account and a reset link will be sent to your inbox within a few minutes. Check your spam or junk folder if the email does not appear in your main inbox. Follow the link in the email to set a new password — the link is valid for a limited time, so use it promptly. Once your new password is saved, return to the login page and sign in normally. If you no longer have access to your registered email address, contact the support team for account recovery assistance.

Some account details, such as your registered name and date of birth, are locked after identity verification to prevent fraud and comply with gaming regulations. Your email address and contact number can typically be updated through your account settings, though you may be asked to re-verify your identity after making changes. If you need to update information that cannot be changed through the settings panel, reach out to the support team with your request and a copy of a valid ID. Changes are usually processed within one to two business days. Keeping your contact details current ensures you receive important account notifications and can recover access if needed.

Deposits & Withdrawals

How to fund your account and cash out your winnings in Philippine pesos, quickly and securely.

DraftKings supports a range of payment options suited to Filipino players, including popular local e-wallets, online banking transfers, and prepaid cards. GCash and Maya are among the most commonly used methods for fast, mobile-friendly deposits and withdrawals. Bank transfers via major Philippine banks are also accepted for players who prefer traditional banking channels. All transactions are processed in Philippine pesos, so there are no currency conversion fees on your end. The cashier section of your account displays all currently available methods along with their minimum and maximum transaction limits.

Withdrawal processing times vary depending on the method you choose. E-wallet withdrawals to GCash or Maya are typically the fastest, often arriving within a few hours of approval. Bank transfers generally take one to three business days to reflect in your account, depending on your bank's processing schedule. Before your first withdrawal is processed, your identity verification must be complete — this is a one-time requirement. Withdrawal requests are reviewed by the finance team during business hours, and you will receive a notification once your request has been approved and sent. If your withdrawal has not arrived within the expected timeframe, check your account transaction history first before contacting support.

Yes, each payment method has its own minimum deposit amount, which is displayed in the cashier when you select your preferred option. In general, the minimum deposit is kept low to make the platform accessible to Filipino players at all budget levels. There is no maximum limit on how much you can deposit, though very large transactions may require additional verification for security purposes. Deposits are credited to your account balance almost instantly in most cases, so you can start playing without delay. If a deposit does not appear in your balance within 15 minutes, check your transaction history and contact support if the issue persists.

Games & Live Casino

Questions about the game library, live dealer tables, and how to get the most out of your sessions.

DraftKings offers a wide selection of casino-style games designed for Filipino players, including slots, classic table games, and a full live casino section. The slots library features hundreds of titles from leading game providers, covering everything from three-reel classics to feature-rich video slots with bonus rounds. Table game fans will find multiple variants of baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and poker available around the clock. The live casino section streams real dealer games in high definition, giving you the feel of a physical casino from your phone or computer. New titles are added regularly, so there is always something fresh to explore in the lobby.

Yes — the live casino on DraftKings operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including Philippine public holidays. Multiple tables run simultaneously across baccarat, roulette, and blackjack, so you will rarely have to wait for a seat even during peak hours. Some tables are specifically designed for Asian players and feature Filipino-speaking dealers during certain time slots, making the experience feel more familiar and comfortable. Bet limits vary by table, with options available for both casual players and high-stakes enthusiasts. You can preview the available tables and current dealer information from the Live Casino lobby before joining a game.

Many slots and RNG table games on DraftKings offer a demo or free-play mode that lets you explore the game mechanics without risking real money. This is a great way to get familiar with a new slot's bonus features or understand the rules of a table game variant before committing real pesos. Live casino games, however, require a real-money bet to participate since they involve actual dealers and real-time streaming. To access demo mode on eligible games, simply open the game from the lobby — the option to play for free is usually displayed alongside the real-money play button. Note that winnings from demo play cannot be withdrawn, as they are for practice purposes only.

Mobile App & Download

How to get DraftKings running on your Android or iOS device and what to expect from the mobile experience.

Since the DraftKings app is not distributed through the Google Play Store, you will need to download the APK file directly from the official website. Visit the Download page on your Android browser and tap the download button to save the APK file to your device. Before installing, go to your phone's Settings, then Security or Privacy, and enable "Install from unknown sources" or "Allow from this source" for your browser. Once enabled, open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen prompts to complete installation — the process takes under a minute. After installation, you can log in with your existing account or register directly from the app.

Yes — iOS users can access DraftKings through the mobile-optimised website, which works seamlessly on Safari and other iOS browsers without requiring a separate app download. The mobile site is designed to behave like a native app, with fast load times, touch-friendly navigation, and full access to all games including the live casino. You can also add the DraftKings website to your iPhone or iPad home screen by tapping the Share button in Safari and selecting "Add to Home Screen" — this creates a shortcut that opens the site in full-screen mode. Check the Download page for the latest information on iOS app availability, as a dedicated app may be released in the future.

Slots and standard table games are optimised for low data usage and run smoothly even on a standard mobile data connection. Live casino games stream real-time video, which naturally uses more data — typically around 200 to 400 MB per hour depending on the video quality setting. If you are on a limited data plan, connecting to Wi-Fi before starting a live casino session is recommended. The app does not run background data when you are not actively playing, so it will not drain your data allowance while idle. For the best live casino experience in the Philippines, a stable LTE or 5G connection is ideal, though most games are playable on a reliable 3G connection as well.

VIP Programme

How the DraftKings VIP system works and what rewards are waiting at each tier for Filipino members.

VIP points are earned automatically every time you place a real-money wager on any eligible game on the platform. The number of points you earn per bet depends on the game type — slots typically contribute at a higher rate than table games, which is standard across most loyalty programmes. Points accumulate in your account in real time and are visible on your VIP dashboard whenever you are logged in. There is no need to opt in or activate anything — every qualifying bet you place counts toward your total from the moment your account is active. As your points balance grows, you progress through the VIP tiers and unlock increasingly valuable rewards and privileges.

VIP members on DraftKings enjoy a range of exclusive benefits that grow more valuable as you move up the tiers. Lower tiers typically include reload bonuses, cashback on losses, and priority customer support response times. Mid-tier members gain access to personalised promotions, higher withdrawal limits, and invitations to special events. Top-tier VIP players receive dedicated account managers, bespoke bonus offers, faster withdrawal processing, and exclusive access to high-limit tables in the live casino. All VIP rewards are credited directly to your account and can be viewed in the promotions or VIP section after logging in. Visit the VIP page for a full breakdown of each tier and its associated benefits.

VIP points and tier status are subject to the activity terms outlined in the VIP programme rules, which are available on the VIP page. In general, extended periods of inactivity may affect your tier standing, as most loyalty programmes require a minimum level of activity to maintain a given tier. Your accumulated points balance, however, is typically preserved even during breaks from play. If you are concerned about losing your tier status, logging in and placing a few qualifying bets periodically is the simplest way to keep your account active. The VIP dashboard in your account shows your current points total, tier status, and any upcoming expiry dates so you always know exactly where you stand.
