Offshore Asian Platform Warning
W88 operates offshore from the Philippines with limited regulatory oversight for international players. Expect language barriers, time zone delays, and potential difficulties with account deletion. Withdraw all funds before requesting deletion.
Limited Consumer Protections
W88 is licensed by PAGCOR and First Cagayan in the Philippines, which primarily protects local operations. International players have limited regulatory recourse for disputes.

- Screenshot everything - Account balance, transaction history, personal details
- Cancel any pending bets - Wait for all wagers to settle
- Note your account details - Username, email, phone number, date of birth
- Prepare for time zone delays - W88 operates on Asian time zones
Step 2: Contact Live Chat Support
