Creating a melbey account is quick and straightforward. Head over to melbey.app and click the registration button. You will need to provide a valid Philippine mobile number, choose a secure password, and enter your full legal name and date of birth exactly as they appear on your government-issued ID. Once your basic registration is complete, you will need to go through our KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process before you can make your first deposit. KYC requires you to upload a clear photo of a valid Philippine government ID. The whole process typically takes just a few minutes.

You must be at least 21 years old to register and play on melbey. This is a strict legal requirement under Philippine gaming regulations and PAGCOR rules — no exceptions. Your age is verified during the mandatory KYC process through your government-issued ID. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds returned to the source payment method.

melbey accepts the following valid Philippine government-issued IDs for KYC verification:
  • PhilSys National ID
  • Philippine Passport
  • SSS / UMID Card
  • Driver's License (LTO)
  • PRC Professional ID
  • Voter's ID / COMELEC ID
  • Postal ID (new format)
Make sure your ID photo is clear, well-lit, and shows all four corners of the document. Blurry or cropped images will be rejected and you will need to resubmit.

In most cases, KYC verification on melbey is completed within a few minutes during business hours. During peak periods or if your documents require manual review, it may take up to 24 hours. You will receive a notification via your registered mobile number once your KYC is approved. If your submission is rejected, you will be told the reason and given the opportunity to resubmit.

No. Each player is permitted to hold only one melbey account. Creating multiple accounts — whether under the same name or different names — is a violation of melbey's Terms and Conditions and may result in the permanent closure of all associated accounts and forfeiture of any balances. If you have forgotten your login details, use the account recovery option or contact [email protected] for assistance.

On the melbey login page, click the "Forgot Password" link. Enter your registered Philippine mobile number and you will receive a one-time PIN (OTP) via SMS. Enter the OTP to verify your identity, then set a new secure password. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. If you no longer have access to your registered mobile number, contact [email protected] for account recovery assistance.

To close your melbey account, send an email to [email protected] from your registered email address with the subject line "Account Closure Request." Include your registered mobile number for identity verification. Any remaining balance will be returned to your registered GCash, PayMaya, or Philippine bank account within 3–5 business days. Note that if you are struggling with problem gambling, melbey's self-exclusion tool may be a better option — it suspends your account while protecting your funds.

melbey accepts the following payment methods for Filipino players:
  • E-wallets: GCash, PayMaya / Maya
  • Bank Transfer: BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, Landbank, PNB, Security Bank
  • Debit Card: Debit cards linked to Philippine bank accounts
All transactions are processed in Philippine Peso (PHP / ₱). melbey does not accept credit cards for gambling deposits, in compliance with current Philippine payment regulations.

The minimum deposit on melbey is ₱500. There is no maximum deposit limit for standard accounts, though higher deposit amounts may trigger additional verification steps in line with our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations under Philippine law. Deposits are credited to your melbey account instantly for GCash and PayMaya, and within 1 business day for bank transfers.

Withdrawal processing times on melbey depend on your chosen payment method:
  • GCash / PayMaya: Typically processed within 1–3 hours
  • Philippine Bank Transfer: 1–3 business days depending on your bank
  • Debit Card: 3–5 business days
All withdrawals require a fully KYC-verified account. The minimum withdrawal amount is ₱500. Withdrawals are only processed to payment methods that have been previously used for deposits on your account.

melbey does not charge any fees on deposits or withdrawals. However, your bank or e-wallet provider may apply their own transaction fees — please check with GCash, PayMaya, or your bank directly for their current fee schedules. melbey has no control over third-party payment provider fees.

Withdrawals may be delayed for several reasons: your KYC verification may be incomplete or pending, there may be an active bonus wagering requirement on your account, or your withdrawal may have been flagged for a routine AML security review. If your withdrawal has exceeded the standard processing time, contact [email protected] with your account details and withdrawal reference number for assistance.

Yes — melbey is fully optimized for mobile play. You can access the complete melbey platform through your mobile browser on any Android or iOS device without needing to download a separate app. The mobile experience includes all games, deposit and withdrawal functions, account management, and customer support. Simply visit melbey.app on your phone's browser and log in to your account.

All RNG (Random Number Generator) games on melbey use certified random number generation technology to ensure fair and unpredictable outcomes on every spin, hand, or draw. melbey's platform operates under the oversight of PAGCOR, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, which sets and enforces standards for game fairness and player protection across all licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines.

Minimum bet amounts vary by game type. For most slot games, the minimum bet starts at ₱1 per spin. Sports betting markets typically have a minimum stake of ₱50. Bingo tickets start from ₱20 per card. Live casino table games have their own minimum bet requirements displayed at each table. Always check the game's information panel for the specific minimum and maximum bet limits before playing.

melbey regularly offers a range of bonuses and promotions for both new and existing Filipino players, including welcome deposit bonuses, free spins on selected slot games, reload bonuses, cashback offers, and seasonal promotions tied to major Philippine events and sporting occasions. All bonuses are subject to wagering requirements and terms — always read the specific bonus terms before claiming any offer. Bonus details are updated regularly in the Promotions section of the melbey platform.

A wagering requirement (also called a playthrough requirement) means you must bet a certain multiple of your bonus amount before the bonus funds can be converted to withdrawable cash. For example, a ₱1,000 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means you need to place a total of ₱20,000 in bets before you can withdraw the bonus winnings. Wagering requirements vary by promotion — always check the specific terms of each bonus offer on melbey.

No — bonus funds cannot be withdrawn until the associated wagering requirements have been fully met. Your real money balance and bonus balance are kept separate in your melbey account. Real money winnings from bets placed with your own deposited funds can be withdrawn at any time (subject to standard withdrawal processing), but bonus-derived funds must complete the wagering cycle first.

melbey takes data security seriously. All data transmitted between your device and melbey's servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption. Your personal information is stored securely and is never sold to third parties. melbey complies with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and our full data handling practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy.

Yes. melbey supports SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) for all accounts. When 2FA is enabled, you will be required to enter a one-time PIN sent to your registered Philippine mobile number each time you log in from a new device or browser. We strongly recommend enabling 2FA to protect your melbey account from unauthorized access. You can enable 2FA in your account security settings.

If you suspect that someone has accessed your melbey account without your permission, take the following steps immediately:
  • Change your password using the "Forgot Password" function
  • Enable two-factor authentication if not already active
  • Contact [email protected] immediately to report the incident
  • Request a temporary account freeze while the issue is investigated
melbey's security team will investigate all unauthorized access reports promptly and take appropriate action to protect your account and funds.

Yes. Deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and reality check reminders can all be set directly from your melbey account settings without needing to contact support. Changes that reduce your limits take effect immediately. Changes that increase a limit require a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before they take effect — this is a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions during a gaming session. Cool-off periods and self-exclusion requests must be processed through our support team.
