Account Questions

Go to the Register page and fill in your full name, mobile number, email address, date of birth, and a password. After submitting your details, verify your account via the OTP sent to your registered Philippine mobile number. The whole process typically takes less than five minutes.

You must be at least 21 years old to register and use 8989. This applies to all game types and applies across the entire platform. Age is verified during registration and as part of the KYC process before withdrawals are approved.

No. Each person is allowed only one active 8989 account. Creating multiple accounts — whether using different names, emails, or mobile numbers — is a violation of the Terms & Conditions and may result in all associated accounts being suspended and any balances forfeited.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the identity verification process required before your first withdrawal. You will need to submit a valid, government-issued Philippine ID — such as your PhilSys card, passport, or driver's licence. Completing KYC early ensures your withdrawal requests go through without delays when you are ready to cash out.

Contact the support team at [email protected] from the email address registered to your account, and include your registered mobile number in the message. The team will verify your identity and guide you through the password reset process. In the meantime, you can use the OTP login option on the Login page as an alternative way to access your account.

Account Security

Security Questions

OTP (one-time password) login sends a unique six-digit code to your registered Philippine mobile number via SMS. Enter the code on the login screen within the validity window to access your account. OTPs expire quickly and can only be used once, which makes them a secure alternative to password-based login.

No. The 8989 support team will never ask for your account password or OTP codes under any circumstances. If you receive a message, email, or call asking for this information and claiming to be from 8989, treat it as a phishing attempt. Report it immediately to [email protected].

Contact [email protected] immediately with your registered email address and mobile number. Request an urgent account lock while the situation is investigated. Change your password as soon as possible if you still have access. Do not share your credentials with anyone while the issue is being resolved.

Yes. 8989 uses SSL encryption on all connections, including mobile. Using your own mobile data connection is recommended over public Wi-Fi. Always verify the URL shows 8989.bar before entering your login credentials. Log out after each session if you are using a shared device.
