About 117ph — Filipino-First Online Casino & Sportsbook
Since 2020, 117ph has been the trusted online gaming platform for thousands of Filipino players from Manila to Mindanao. We're not just another offshore casino — we're PAGCOR-licensed, Peso-native, and built specifically for the Philippine market. From live dealer baccarat to PBA betting, from slot tournaments to fishing games, 117ph delivers the gaming experience Filipino players deserve.
Who We Are — Philippine Gaming Done Right
117ph was founded in 2020 by a team of gaming industry veterans, software engineers, and Filipino entrepreneurs who saw a gap in the market. While international casinos dominated the space, none truly understood what Filipino players needed — local payment options like GCash and PayMaya, Tagalog customer support, PBA and UFC betting markets, sabong streaming, and games that matched local preferences.
We built 117ph from the ground up to solve these problems. Every feature — from one-tap GCash deposits to mobile-optimized baccarat — was designed with Filipino players in mind. We partnered with the best game providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, JILI) to bring world-class slots and live tables to Philippine screens. We secured a PAGCOR license to operate legally and responsibly. And we invested in infrastructure to deliver fast, stable gameplay even on slower mobile connections outside Metro Manila.
Today, 117ph serves over 100,000 registered players. We process millions of pesos in deposits and withdrawals every week. Our platform hosts hundreds of games, runs 24/7 live dealer tables, and covers sports events from the NBA to local cockfighting derbies. But our mission hasn't changed: to be the most trusted, most Filipino, and most exciting online gaming platform in the Philippines.

Why Filipino Players Choose 117ph
We're not the biggest casino in the world, but we're the best choice for Filipino players. Here's why.
PAGCOR Licensed & Legal
117ph operates under a valid PAGCOR license, meaning we're fully compliant with Philippine gaming regulations. Your deposits are protected, your winnings are guaranteed, and you're playing on a legitimate platform — not an offshore grey-market site.
Local Payment Options
Deposit and withdraw using GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, and more. We support the payment methods Filipino players actually use — no need for international credit cards or complicated wire transfers.
PHP Currency Native
Play in Philippine Pesos with no conversion fees or exchange rate confusion. Your balance, bets, and winnings are all in PHP. What you see is what you get — no hidden currency conversion charges eating into your bankroll.
24/7 Filipino Support
Our customer support team includes Tagalog-speaking agents who understand local context and gaming culture. Get help via live chat, email, or phone anytime — day or night, weekday or holiday.
Fast Withdrawals
Request a withdrawal and receive your money within 24 hours — often much faster. GCash withdrawals typically process in under 1 hour during business hours. No weeks-long waiting periods like some offshore casinos.
Mobile-First Design
Most Filipino players access 117ph from smartphones. That's why our entire platform is optimized for mobile — fast loading, touch-friendly controls, and full functionality on screens as small as 5 inches.
What 117ph Stands For
These aren't just corporate buzzwords — they're the principles that guide every decision we make, from game selection to customer support policies.
Security & Trust
Your money and data are protected by bank-grade encryption. We undergo regular security audits and follow strict PAGCOR compliance standards.
Fairness & Transparency
All our games use certified Random Number Generators (RNG). Odds are clearly displayed. No rigged games, no hidden terms.
Responsible Gaming
We provide tools to set deposit limits, loss limits, and self-exclusion. Gambling should be fun, not destructive.
Customer-First Approach
Every feature is designed based on player feedback. We listen, we adapt, and we constantly improve the 117ph experience.

We're proud to serve the Philippine market. We support local gaming culture, sponsor Filipino teams, and employ Filipino talent.

Our Team
117ph is powered by a diverse team of 50+ professionals — software engineers, customer support agents, payment specialists, compliance officers, and gaming experts. Many of us are Filipino gamers ourselves, which means we understand what players want because we ARE players. Our leadership team brings decades of combined experience from international gaming companies, fintech startups, and Philippine regulatory bodies.
How 117ph Protects Your Money & Data
Security isn't an afterthought — it's built into every layer of our platform.
PAGCOR License & Compliance
117ph holds a valid PAGCOR gaming license, which requires us to meet strict operational, financial, and security standards. We undergo regular audits and maintain segregated player funds — your deposits are never mixed with operational capital.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and 117ph servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL — the same security standard used by banks and government agencies. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are unreadable to third parties.
Two-Factor Authentication
Enable 2FA to add an extra layer of account protection. Even if someone steals your password, they can't login without the SMS code sent to your registered mobile number.
Fraud Detection & Monitoring
Our system monitors all transactions for suspicious activity. Unusual login patterns, rapid-fire withdrawals, or other red flags trigger automatic alerts and temporary account freezes for your protection.
KYC Verification
We follow Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to prevent money laundering and underage gambling. Verification is quick — upload a valid ID and proof of address, and we'll review within 24 hours.
Certified Fair Games
All slots and live dealer games are provided by certified developers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution, JILI) whose RNG systems are regularly audited by independent testing labs. We don't rig games — we don't need to.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
117ph is committed to promoting safe, responsible gaming. We provide tools to help you stay in control: set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits; configure loss limits; activate session time reminders; or use self-exclusion if you need a break. Our support team is trained to recognize problem gambling behaviors and will connect you with professional help resources when needed.
Gambling should always be entertainment, never a way to solve financial problems or make money. If you're chasing losses, gambling with borrowed funds, or feeling that gaming is affecting your life negatively — stop playing and seek help. PAGCOR operates a responsible gaming hotline, and we maintain a list of local counseling resources on our Responsible Gaming page.
Players must be 21 years or older. Gambling involves financial risk. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, visit our Responsible Gaming page for resources and support.
