Every table is streamed live with a real dealer. Pick your game, choose your stake, and join a table that fits your budget.
The most popular live casino game among Filipino players. Bet on Player, Banker, or Tie — simple rules, fast rounds, and tables available at a wide range of stake levels.
European and live roulette variants with real wheels and real dealers. Bet on numbers, colours, odd/even, or columns — the payout structure is clearly displayed before each round.

A dice game well-known among Filipino players — place bets on combinations of three dice, then watch the dealer reveal the result live. Multiple bet types from small/big to specific triples.
One of the simplest live casino games available. One card dealt to Dragon, one to Tiger — bet on which is higher or on a Tie. Rounds are fast and the betting window is short.
Wheel-of-fortune and multiplier-based live shows that blend casino mechanics with entertainment. Higher variance than table games but accessible at low minimum stakes.
Most online casino games use a random number generator — a software engine that determines results without any physical element. Live casino is different. The dealer is a real person in a studio, the cards are real cards, and the roulette wheel physically spins. You watch everything happen over a live video feed, and your bets are placed in real time through the interface on your screen.
At 898ph, this means that when you sit at a baccarat table, you're watching an actual dealer shuffle and deal cards — not an animation. The result isn't generated by software; it's determined by physical action that you can see happen. For a lot of Filipino players who grew up playing casino games in physical venues or at home, this feels closer to the experience they're used to, just accessible from anywhere.
Most players in the Philippines access 898ph on their phones. The live casino is fully optimised for this — the video feed scales to fit your screen without requiring you to rotate to landscape or zoom in to see the betting controls. Table minimums, available seats, and the dealer name are all visible before you enter a table, so you can decide whether to join without committing a bet first.
For players in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the country where mobile data speeds vary, the live stream quality adjusts automatically to your connection. On a solid LTE connection, you get a clear HD stream. On a slower network, the stream reduces resolution to keep the game running smoothly rather than buffering during a round. The betting controls and balance display are separate from the video feed, so they remain responsive even when the stream adjusts.
If you prefer desktop, the experience is the same but with more screen space — you can see the full table layout, bet history, and chat window alongside the live feed without anything feeling cramped.
Every live casino table at 898ph operates in PHP. Your balance shows in Philippine Peso, your bets are placed in Peso, and any winnings are credited back to your account in Peso. There's no conversion happening in the background, no need to calculate what a ₱500 bet means in a foreign currency, and no exchange rate that changes between when you deposit and when you withdraw.
Table minimums vary depending on the game type and the specific table you choose. Baccarat and Dragon Tiger tend to have lower minimums, making them accessible to players who want to stretch a session on a modest budget. Blackjack and roulette tables come in a range of stakes. The table card in the lobby always shows the minimum bet before you enter, so there are no surprises.
Inside the live casino section of the 898ph Game Lobby, each table shows its current occupancy, minimum and maximum bet, and the dealer on shift. Baccarat tables, in particular, often run multiple rooms simultaneously — some at lower limits for casual players, others at higher limits for players who prefer larger stakes per round.
If you're new to live casino, baccarat and Dragon Tiger are the most forgiving starting points. Both games have very simple bet choices, rounds resolve quickly, and the minimum bets at the entry-level tables are manageable. Blackjack is a good next step if you want a game where your decisions — hit, stand, double, split — directly affect the outcome of each hand.
Live game shows are worth trying if you want something more casual and less focused on traditional casino strategy. They work more like lottery-style entertainment and usually have low minimum bets, though the outcome variance is higher than table games.
Your 898ph account balance is shared across the entire platform — the same PHP balance you use for slots or sports betting is used in the live casino, and vice versa. There's no separate wallet to manage or fund for casino games specifically.
Deposits can be made via Philippine bank transfer, GCash, Maya, and other local online banking channels. The balance reflects quickly after a deposit processes, so you don't usually need to wait long to start playing. For withdrawals, completing your KYC verification with a government-issued ID is required before your first cash-out request. Once verified, withdrawals are processed to your linked bank account or e-wallet. Full details on processing times and available withdrawal channels are on the Withdrawal page.
All live casino sessions at 898ph run over SSL-encrypted connections. This applies to the video stream, your bet submissions, and your balance updates — everything is encrypted from your device to the server. Your account is also protected by OTP verification on login, so even if someone knows your password, they can't access your account without the one-time code sent to your registered mobile number.
On devices with biometric support — fingerprint or face unlock on Android and iOS — you can configure the 898ph app to use biometric login. This speeds up getting back into a session after a short break without compromising security.
Live casino games at 898ph are available around the clock. The accessibility is real and convenient, but it also means there's no built-in endpoint to a session the way a physical casino's closing time provides. Before you open any live table, decide on two things: how much you're comfortable losing in that session, and how long you'll play. When either limit is reached, end the session.
Outcomes in live casino games are determined by chance. Baccarat, roulette, and all other live dealer games cannot be predicted with certainty, and no strategy guarantees a winning outcome. Play for entertainment and within a budget you've set in advance. 898ph is strictly for players aged 21 and above.
