Since 2019, hi88 has been the online gaming home for millions of Filipino players — from Manila to Davao, Cebu to Iloilo. Here's the story behind the platform.
hi88 is an online casino and sports betting platform built specifically for the Philippine market. We launched in 2019 with a straightforward goal: give Filipino players a gaming experience that actually fits their lives — one that works on a smartphone, accepts GCash, pays out in Philippine Peso, and has support staff who speak Filipino and understand local banking hours.
That focus hasn't changed. While a lot of online gaming platforms treat the Philippines as an afterthought — offering peso conversion as a feature rather than a foundation — hi88 was designed from day one around the way Filipino players actually play. Fast mobile connections, GCash and PayMaya wallets, PBA and UFC betting markets, JILI slots that Filipino players already love from land-based arcades — all of it built into a single platform that you can access from any browser, anywhere in the country.
Today, hi88 serves players across all major Philippine cities and regions — Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, and beyond. Our game library has grown to over 1,200 titles spanning live dealer casino games, JILI and other slot providers, sports betting, bingo, and fishing games. Our payment infrastructure covers GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and 7-Eleven over-the-counter deposits. And our support team — available 24 hours a day, seven days a week — is staffed by Filipino agents who understand the questions Filipino players actually ask.
hi88 operates in compliance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations. We take our regulatory obligations seriously because we believe that a trustworthy platform is the foundation of a good player experience. When you deposit ₱500 at hi88, you should know exactly where it is, how to use it, and how to get it back. That transparency is something we've worked hard to build and maintain since 2019.
Live baccarat, JILI slots, sports betting, bingo, fishing games — all in one lobby, all accessible from your mobile browser.
Deposit and withdraw in Philippine Peso via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and 7-Eleven. No currency conversion, no delays.
Our support team is staffed around the clock by Filipino agents who understand local payment methods and player needs.
hi88 operates in compliance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations, with 256-bit SSL encryption on all transactions and sessions.
No app download needed. hi88 runs fully in your mobile browser — optimized for Android and iOS on any screen size.
Six reasons why Filipino players choose hi88 over other online gaming platforms
Every peso you deposit at hi88 stays in pesos. Your wallet balance, your winnings, your withdrawals — all in PHP. No conversion fees, no exchange rate surprises. When you win ₱10,000, you get ₱10,000 back to your GCash.
Withdrawals to GCash are processed in under 15 minutes for amounts under ₱50,000. Larger withdrawals via BPI, BDO, or Metrobank are completed within the same business day. No waiting three to five days like some platforms.
hi88 carries the full JILI Games library — the slot provider that dominates Philippine gaming arcades and online platforms alike. Pair that with 20+ live baccarat tables and you have a complete casino floor in your pocket.
hi88's sportsbook covers the events Filipino fans actually follow — PBA games, NBA, UFC fight nights, international boxing, and e-sabong. Bet in Philippine Peso with competitive odds and live in-play markets during major events.
hi88's loyalty program rewards every peso wagered with points that never expire. Climb from Bronze to Diamond tier and unlock faster withdrawals, higher table limits, dedicated account managers, and exclusive tournament invitations.
hi88 provides deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options accessible directly from your account settings. We believe responsible gaming is a platform responsibility, not just a player responsibility.
hi88 didn't become the Philippines' go-to online gaming platform overnight. Here's how we got here.
hi88 goes live with a focused game library and GCash integration — one of the first Philippine online gaming platforms to offer native peso wallets with instant GCash deposits.
hi88 expands its live dealer section to 10+ simultaneous baccarat and roulette tables, with Filipino-speaking dealers added to select tables in response to player feedback.
hi88 becomes one of the first Philippine platforms to carry the complete JILI Games catalog — including Money Coming, Fortune Gems, and Super Ace — titles that Filipino players already knew from land-based arcades.
hi88 launches a full sportsbook with dedicated PBA, NBA, UFC, and boxing markets. Filipino bettors can now place in-play wagers on PBA games in Philippine Peso with same-day GCash payouts on winnings.
hi88 introduces its multi-tier loyalty program, rewarding regular players with cashback, reload bonuses, and VIP perks. The program reaches 50,000 active members within its first six months.
hi88 now offers over 1,200 games across slots, live casino, sports, bingo, and fishing categories — serving players across every region of the Philippines with expanded payment options and 24/7 Filipino-speaking support.
The principles that guide every decision we make at hi88 — from product features to customer support policies.
Every feature we build, every policy we write, and every support interaction we have starts with one question: is this good for the player? Filipino players deserve a platform that respects their time, their money, and their intelligence.
hi88 publishes clear terms for every bonus, every withdrawal policy, and every game RTP where available. We don't hide fees in fine print or change withdrawal rules after you've deposited. What you see is what you get.
Player funds and personal data are protected with bank-grade 256-bit SSL encryption. Account security features — including two-factor authentication and login alerts — are available to every player, not just VIPs.
hi88 treats responsible gaming as a platform responsibility. Deposit limits, self-exclusion, and session reminders are built into the platform — not buried in a help page. Players must be 21 years of age or older to register and play.
hi88 is not a global platform with a Philippine option bolted on. We are a Philippine-focused platform, full stop. Our payment methods, our game selection, our support team, and our promotions are all built around the Filipino player experience.
hi88 supports the payment methods that Filipino players already use every day — no international cards required, no currency conversion needed.
hi88 is strictly for players aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations.
