Account & Registration

Head to sharkaaa.best/register and fill in the registration form. You will need your full name, a valid Philippine mobile number, an email address, your date of birth (you must be 21 or older), and a password. After submitting, you will receive an OTP on your mobile number to verify the account. The whole process takes under two minutes.

Yes, completely free. There are no registration fees, no monthly subscription charges, and no hidden account costs. You only spend money if you choose to deposit and play real-money games.

You must be at least 21 years old. This is the legal age requirement for online gaming in the Philippines. Age is verified during registration and again during the KYC process before your first withdrawal. Accounts found to belong to players under 21 will be permanently closed.

No. Sharkaaa enforces a strict one-account-per-player policy. Creating duplicate accounts leads to all accounts being suspended and any balance being forfeited. If you cannot access your existing account, contact support at support@sharkaaa.best rather than opening a new one.

Log in to your Sharkaaa account, go to Account Settings, and select the field you want to update. Changes to mobile number and email require re-verification via OTP to confirm you own the new contact detail. If you have trouble with this, reach out to support and they can assist after verifying your identity.

KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is required before processing your first withdrawal. You will need to submit a valid government-issued ID (PhilSys, driver's licence, passport, or SSS/GSIS ID) and a selfie. Completing KYC early means no delays when you are ready to withdraw your first winnings.
Deposits

Sharkaaa accepts GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO Online Banking, BPI Online Banking, UnionBank, InstaPay, PESONet bank transfers, and Visa/Mastercard debit and credit cards. All transactions are in Philippine Peso (₱).

GCash deposits are processed instantly in most cases. Once you complete the transfer on your GCash app, the funds typically appear in your Sharkaaa account within seconds. If a deposit has not reflected after five minutes, check the transaction status in your GCash history and contact Sharkaaa support with the GCash reference number.

Minimum deposit amounts vary by payment method. The exact minimums are displayed on the deposit page inside your Sharkaaa account. GCash and Maya tend to have the lowest minimum thresholds, making them the most accessible entry points for Filipino players who want to start small.

Sharkaaa does not charge platform fees on deposits. However, your bank, e-wallet provider, or card issuer may apply their own transaction fees. Check with your payment provider if you are unsure. GCash and Maya deposits are typically fee-free at the provider end for standard transfers.

No. All deposits must come from a payment account registered in your own name. Third-party deposits are not accepted and may cause your account to be flagged or suspended. This is a standard anti-money-laundering requirement that applies to all licensed online gaming platforms.

First, wait up to 10 minutes as there can occasionally be a brief processing delay. If the deposit still has not arrived, go to your GCash transaction history and copy the reference number. Then contact Sharkaaa support via live chat or at support@sharkaaa.best with that reference number. Our team will trace the transaction and credit your account manually if the funds were received on our end.
Withdrawals

GCash and Maya withdrawals are typically processed within one hour during operational hours. Bank transfers via InstaPay may take a few hours, while PESONet transfers can take up to one business day. Withdrawals requested outside business hours are processed the following morning. During peak periods, processing may take slightly longer.

Yes, minimum withdrawal amounts apply and vary by method. The exact figures are shown on the withdrawal page inside your account. Sharkaaa does not charge withdrawal fees on its end, though your bank or e-wallet provider may apply receiving fees.

Sharkaaa performs standard security checks on withdrawals to protect players from unauthorised account activity. First-time withdrawals always go through a brief review. Large amounts may also be subject to enhanced review. This is a player protection measure, not a restriction. If your withdrawal has been under review for more than 24 hours, contact support for a status update.

Generally, Sharkaaa applies a return-to-source policy for withdrawals where possible – meaning winnings are returned to the same payment method used to deposit. In cases where that is not possible (for example, if a card expires), you can request withdrawal to an alternative verified method. Contact support to arrange this and they will guide you through the verification steps.

Yes. KYC verification is required before your first withdrawal is processed. This is a regulatory requirement and a player protection measure. Upload your government ID and selfie via your account settings to complete verification. Players who complete KYC early experience no delays at withdrawal time.

If the withdrawal is still in a "pending" or "under review" status and has not yet been sent to the payment provider, you may be able to cancel it. Contact support as quickly as possible. Once a withdrawal has been submitted to the payment provider, it cannot be reversed on Sharkaaa's side.
Bonuses & Promotions

New members who complete their Sharkaaa registration and make a qualifying first deposit receive a welcome bonus. The exact amount and structure are shown on the promotions page. Terms and wagering requirements are clearly listed – Sharkaaa does not hide conditions in fine print. Check the promotions page after logging in for your current welcome offer.

A wagering requirement (sometimes called a rollover or playthrough requirement) is the number of times you need to bet your bonus amount before it can be withdrawn as cash. For example, if you receive a ₱500 bonus with a 10x wagering requirement, you need to place ₱5,000 in total bets using that bonus before it becomes withdrawable. The specific requirements for each Sharkaaa bonus are listed on the promotions page.

Enter your referral code in the Referral Code field during registration at sharkaaa.best/register. Referral codes cannot be added after the account is created. If you were referred by a friend but forgot to enter the code, contact support immediately – they can sometimes apply it manually if the account has not yet been used.

Bonus funds must complete wagering requirements before they become withdrawable cash. Real-money winnings generated from bonus play that exceed the wagering threshold are withdrawable subject to standard KYC checks. Your account dashboard shows how much wagering you have completed toward each active bonus.

Yes. Sharkaaa regularly runs reload bonus promotions, cashback deals, and seasonal offers for active members. These are posted on the promotions page and sent via email and SMS to players who have opted in to marketing communications. Log in and check your promotions tab to see currently available offers.

Bonuses have expiry dates – if the bonus was not used or wagering requirements were not completed within the validity period, the bonus is automatically removed. Attempting to withdraw before completing wagering requirements may also result in the bonus being voided. Check the specific terms of the promotion. If you believe a bonus was removed in error, contact support with the bonus name and date it was credited.
Casino Games

Sharkaaa offers live dealer games (baccarat, roulette, blackjack, dragon tiger), jackpot slots, Color Game, Pusoy, card games, sports betting on boxing and volleyball, and more. The full catalogue is accessible immediately after logging in to your account.

Yes. All RNG (Random Number Generator) games on Sharkaaa use independently certified random number generation. Game outcomes are not influenced by previous results, bet sizes, or player history. Live dealer games are streamed from real studios with physical cards and wheels. Published Return to Player (RTP) percentages are available for all slot games.

No download is required. Sharkaaa runs entirely in your mobile or desktop browser. The platform is optimised for Philippine mobile devices and works smoothly on both Android and iOS. Simply log in at sharkaaa.best on any browser to access all games instantly.

Color Game is one of the most popular games at Sharkaaa among Filipino players. Players bet on which colour(s) will land when the dice are rolled. The more dice that show your chosen colour, the higher the payout multiplier. It is fast-paced, easy to understand, and has the same feel as the beloved traditional Color Game that Filipinos have played at fiestas for generations.

If a game disconnects or freezes before the round completes, Sharkaaa's game integrity system records the state of the round at the time of disconnection. In most cases, bets are resolved based on the outcome of the interrupted round and credited or refunded accordingly. If you notice a discrepancy in your balance after a disconnect, contact support with the game name, approximate time, and amount – we will investigate and rectify it.

The Jackpot Slots section features progressive and fixed jackpot slot games where the prize pool grows with every bet placed until one player wins the full amount. Progressive jackpots pool contributions from all players across the network, so they can reach very large amounts. To be eligible for the jackpot, players typically need to bet at the maximum qualifying bet level – check the individual game rules for details.
Sports Betting

Sharkaaa currently offers betting on boxing and volleyball – two sports that Filipino fans are passionate about. Boxing betting covers major international and domestic bouts. Volleyball betting covers popular leagues and international competitions. More sports may be added based on member demand.

Odds on Sharkaaa's sports betting pages are displayed in decimal format by default, which is common across Philippine online betting platforms. Decimal odds show your total return per ₱1 wagered, including your stake. For example, odds of 2.50 on a ₱100 bet would return ₱250 if successful (₱150 profit plus your ₱100 stake back).

Live in-play betting availability depends on the specific event. For events that support live betting, you will see in-play markets on the betting page with real-time odds updates. Note that odds during live betting can shift quickly, so be attentive when placing live bets. Pre-match betting markets close when the event begins.

If a boxing match or volleyball event is cancelled, postponed, or abandoned before the required number of rounds or sets, bets are generally voided and stakes are returned to your Sharkaaa account balance. Specific rules for individual markets are published on the betting page. Disputes can be raised with support within 48 hours of the original event date.

Yes, maximum bet limits apply per market and per event. These limits are displayed when you place your bet. Limits vary based on event type, market liquidity, and your account tier. If the maximum limit is not sufficient for the amount you want to bet, contact support who can discuss options for high-value bets.

Winning sports bets are settled and credited to your Sharkaaa balance typically within 30 minutes of the official result being confirmed. Once credited, you can request a withdrawal immediately. Results are sourced from official sporting bodies and verified before settlement.
Account Security

Sharkaaa uses TLS/SSL encryption on all connections, bcrypt hashing for password storage, two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS OTP, login attempt monitoring with automatic lockout after five failed attempts, and automatic session expiry after inactivity. Your financial data is stored on PCI-compliant infrastructure and is never shared with third parties without your consent.

Log in to your Sharkaaa account, go to Settings, then Security. Toggle on Two-Factor Authentication and confirm your registered Philippine mobile number. From your next login onwards, you will receive an OTP by SMS after entering your password. This makes it far harder for anyone to access your account even if they somehow obtain your password.

Act immediately: change your password, then contact Sharkaaa support at support@sharkaaa.best with the subject line "Security Concern". Our team will review recent login activity, flag and terminate any active sessions that are not yours, and help you secure the account. Check your transaction history for any unauthorised withdrawals and report them in the same message.

Never. Sharkaaa staff, support agents, and official communications will never ask for your password. If you receive a message – whether by SMS, email, or through any other channel – claiming to be from Sharkaaa and asking for your password, it is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Report it to support@sharkaaa.best immediately.

Go to sharkaaa.best/login and click "Forgot password?". Enter your registered email or mobile number and you will receive a reset link or OTP. Reset links expire after 15 minutes. If you do not have access to your registered email or mobile number, contact support directly for manual identity verification and account recovery.

Yes. Sharkaaa handles your personal data in accordance with the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012. Your data is collected only for the purposes stated in our Privacy Policy, stored securely, and never sold to third parties. You have the right to request access to or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting support.
Responsible Gaming

Sharkaaa offers deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods (24 hours to 30 days), self-exclusion (three months to permanent), and marketing opt-out. All tools are free, available 24/7 in your account settings, and take effect immediately (with the exception of limit increases, which have a 24-hour cooling period). Read more on our Responsible Gaming page.

Log in, go to Settings, then Responsible Gaming. Select Deposit Limits, choose daily, weekly, or monthly, enter your limit, and confirm. The limit takes effect immediately. Lowering a limit is instant; raising it requires a 24-hour waiting period before the new (higher) limit activates. This cooling period is intentional and cannot be bypassed.

Contact Sharkaaa support at support@sharkaaa.best with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and specify the duration you want (minimum three months, or permanent). Your account will be closed within minutes of the request being processed. Any remaining balance is returned to your registered payment method after standard KYC verification. During the exclusion period, Sharkaaa will not accept re-registration attempts.

Key warning signs include chasing losses, spending money meant for essentials (rent, bills, groceries) on gaming, gaming to escape stress or problems, hiding your gaming activity from family, and feeling unable to stop even when you want to. If any of these sound familiar, we encourage you to visit our full Responsible Gaming page which includes a self-assessment tool and information on free support resources available in the Philippines.

Yes. Sharkaaa monitors player behaviour for patterns associated with problem gaming – such as chasing-loss bet sequences, very frequent deposits, or unusually long uninterrupted sessions. When a player's activity triggers these indicators, our responsible gaming team may reach out proactively via email or in-platform message to check in and share information about available tools. This is always welfare-first and non-judgmental.
