Rollover (turnover) is how much you need to bet before withdrawing bonus winnings.
Example: You deposit ₱1,000 and get ₱1,000 bonus (total ₱2,000). With 8x rollover:
- Required turnover: ₱2,000 × 8 = ₱16,000
- You must place ₱16,000 worth of bets before withdrawal
- Wins and losses both count toward turnover
Game Contribution Rates:
- Slots & Fish Shooting: 100% (₱100 bet = ₱100 turnover)
- Sports Betting: 50% (₱100 bet = ₱50 turnover)
- Live Casino: 10% (₱100 bet = ₱10 turnover)
Check turnover progress in Account → Bonus History.
⚠️ Max bet during bonus: ₱100 per spin/hand. Exceeding this voids bonus and winnings.
No. Absolutely not.
ABC8 strictly prohibits multi-accounting. Our system detects:
- Same device ID
- Same IP address
- Same payment account (GCash/Maya number)
- Similar betting patterns
Penalty for multi-accounting:
- All accounts permanently closed
- All balances confiscated (no refunds)
- IP address banned from creating new accounts
⚠️ One person = One account. Even if you use different names or phones, we will catch it. Don’t risk losing your money.
