Lots of us already have PayPal for Lazada refunds or freelance pay, so it's natural to look for it in a sportsbook cashier. You'll rarely find it there. PayPal only works with gambling sites it has approved, and few books open to PH players have that approval. This page covers where it does work, what it costs, and what to use when it doesn't.

You can only use PayPal where the book has it in the cashier, so check there before you sign up. These are the three we would look at first.
Melbet: a well-known sportsbook, founded in 2012.
22Bet has been taking bets since 2017.
1xBet: around since 2007 and now one of the best-known books worldwide, with a big following among online bettors in the Philippines too. Its rewards run every day, for new accounts and for regulars who watch its live streams.
Here is what most PH bettors put their money on, whatever payment method they use.
The world's most-watched sport is an easy pick for football fans. EPL and La Liga matches carry the deepest markets, even if they kick off late at night here.
The sport the Philippines actually bets on most. The PBA conferences, the UAAP and NCAA seasons, and NBA mornings all have full markets at our books.
Counter-Strike (in its CS2 form since September 2023), League of Legends and Dota 2 all have events running most of the year, and the big finals pull a mainstream crowd, so the markets are wide. PayPal is only an option where the book lists it in the cashier, so look there before you pick a site for esports.
Most books won't have PayPal, so here are the usual stand-ins:
An international e-wallet that works in many countries, with quick deposits and withdrawals.
Taken almost everywhere online. Some banks decline gambling payments on cards, so keep a second method ready.
The best-known crypto. Transfers are fast once confirmed and there's no bank in the middle, but the peso value moves while you wait.
