Betting Online: How to Find The Best Online Sportsbook in The Philippines


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



As you may already know, there are many sources of entertainment online today. With so many options available to you, it can be quite difficult to make a decision. At the end of the day, most people choose to watch their favorite sport and place some wagers while they’re at it.

Speaking of betting in the Philippines, there are many options for that as well. Finding the right online sportsbook can be quite a challenge. The main reason is that everyone has unique preferences which lead them on their search.

Fortunately, you can find what you need with a bit of effort and patience. After all, with so many sportsbooks available to you, at least a few of them will have what you’re looking for. With that in mind, here are a few tips on how to find the best online sportsbook in the Philippines.


The sportsbook

In most cases, the name sportsbook refers to the number of sports markets an online bookmaker has available for its customers. This usually involves popular sports played worldwide, such as football, basketball, volleyball and so on.

However, a good sportsbook also has a number of niche sports that customers can wager on, such as table tennis, figure skating, snowboarding and so on. The larger and more diverse the sportsbook is, the more options and flexibility customers have at their disposal.

When looking for an ideal sportsbook online, it’s vital that you know what you’re looking for. For example, many online bookmakers specialize in a single sport while the rest of their sports markers are just fillers.

In other words, if a bookmaker specializes in basketball, for instance, they’ll have a plethora of betting options, odds and bonuses for basketball while not so much for other sports. Therefore, if you’re a fan of soccer and want to wager on it, you won’t have such a great time on a basketball-only sportsbook website.


The bonuses

It’s no secret that bonuses can make or break your wagering experience, which is why it’s important to consider every bonus a sportsbook has to offer. Bonuses come in different shapes and forms but the most common ones are welcome bonuses. You have an opportunity to opt-in for those upon account creating or when redeeming a bonus code.

But what is it about bonuses that make them such an important factor? Simply put, every bonus or promotion gives you something extra to wager with. That can be anything ranging from free bets to matching deposits.

It all depends on what type of offer a sportsbook has tailored for their customers. Therefore, the logical thing would be to take advantage of those since they’re available to you, in the first palace. The thing about bonuses is that they enhance your experience and make your wagering experience much more exciting and enjoyable.

That’s why you should compare these offers and see which one suits you the most. Furthermore, keep an eye out for other promotions and bonuses aside from the welcome ones. Usually, sportsbooks have those when there’s a major sports event or tournament but it’s not uncommon for such offers to appear even during the off-season.

 
Extra features

Every sportsbook has something that makes them unique and makes them stand out from the rest of the competition. This uniqueness usually comes in the form of extra features. The most common ones include something like live betting, specialized betting apps, additional payment options and so on.

If you want to find the best online sportsbook, you should keep an eye on those features. For example, live betting is an excellent feature for bettors who like to make things even more interesting. This feature allows you to wager not only on the outcome of the game but also on pretty much everything that happens during a game.

Moreover, betting apps are usually the features that seal the deal for most bettors. The fact of the matter is that betting apps allow you to further customize and personalize your wagering experience. You can also customize payment processing, notification and even watch some games live via the app.

Therefore, some of these features can really boost your experience and help you enjoy your wagering endeavors even further. That’s why you should always check these out before deciding which sportsbook is ideal for you.


Payment processing

Making deposits or withdrawals is quite seamless today thanks to modern technology. However, a lot of bettors still have difficulties with payment processing when it comes to online sportsbooks. The main reason is that a sportsbook you’re interested in may not support your preferred payment option.

This is what usually drives people away despite other offers and criteria meeting their needs. That’s why it’s very important to check which payment options a sportsbook supports before you make your decision.

Today, there are numerous payment processing methods to choose from. However, if you have something specific in mind like crypto payment or payment processors like PayPal, you should determine if such options are available to you. But why are people so picky when it comes to payment processing?

Well, the main reason is that people like to avoid prolonged transaction processing times and additional fees. For example, deposits are usually instantaneous for most payment processing methods while withdrawals may take from several hours to several days to process.

That said, bank wire transfers may take an entire week to process plus there are additional fees to consider. That’s why customers choose a payment method that will help them eliminate such inconveniences and if a sportsbook doesn’t support their preferred payment method, customers will leave and look for another sportsbook.


Customer support

Modern technology is not perfect and it goes without saying that something will eventually break down. This is especially true for online sportsbooks. When an issue occurs, it’s of vital importance to have someone to turn to to fix your problem.

That’s why customer support is such an important factor to consider when choosing the best sportsbook for you. If the customer support is lacking in any way, it will only ruin your experience.

Therefore, when evaluating customer support make sure you keep an eye out for factors, such as the variety of channels you can use to contact support, the expertise and politeness of staff, how long it takes for them to respond and so on.


Closing Words

Choosing the best online sportsbook in the Philippines comes down to personal preferences. What’s best for someone may not be ideal for you and vice versa. However, there are common factors that distinguish good sportsbooks from the bad ones, which is why it’s important to do some research before you opt-in

SM Supermalls Welcomes You Into a New Era of Chang


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



The honest truth: No one came out of the COVID-19 pandemic in quite the same way. The pandemic was an isolating period of self-discovery, emotional growth, and life-altering realizations. It changed people, and in the process, it shaped the way so many of us view ourselves and the world around us.

Because of this, consumer tastes and behaviors have shifted. Where in a pre-pandemic world, people often spent on luxuries and experiences that allowed them to celebrate their accomplishments, studies show that consumers now want a different experience, one that is kinder and more embracing of the changes that each individual had gone through in the past 2 years. People are now prioritizing their personal wellness and supporting products and services that champion growth.

As consumer tastes have shifted, brands are starting to adapt to these changes. And true to its foundational commitment to make people happy, SM is ready with a host of new offerings as the entire brand is poised for a refresh this year.

RAC Muntinlupa Central brings award-winning “Super Pinoy Kid” to Metro Bacolod, Neg. Occ.



Wazzup Pilipinas!?



Whenever people, particularly kids, are asked, "Who is your favorite superhero?", the usual answers would always be the globally-idolized stars from Marvel or Justice League. 

Nowadays, it is already rare to find Filipinos who can still name a local superhero; if one is lucky enough, most characters that are on top of their heads are the likes of Super Inggo and Pedro Penduko. They have become a mainstay in Philippine literature since they invaded children's notebook covers for school. The pandemic has further glued the young generation to their gadgets, limiting their already meager exposure to fictional and entertaining characters. This is the reason why a superhero was summoned to mix things up.

Along with the start of the new Imagine Rotary Year, the Rotaract Club of Metro Bacolod invited its twin club, the Rotaract Club of Muntinlupa Central, to bring Super Pinoy Kid (SPK) to the province of Negros Occidental on July 15 to 18, 2022. The SPK is a four-part comic collection featuring Biboy, a modern-day superhero who lives out the moral values taught by Rotary's 4-Way Test. The comic, which also comes as a coloring book, aims to help elementary students become the country's future role models and responsible citizens by using the stories of Biboy as guiding principles during their formative years.

At first glance, SPK's Biboy may look like an ordinary 5-year-old kid from a poor family. However, what makes Biboy a Super Pinoy Kid is the four important moral principles he embodies in his daily life. The comic collection introduces Biboy as a young child with four amazing stories about his four unique attributes, namely: A Truthful and Honest Child, A Fair and Righteous Child, A Friendly Child, and A Responsible and Beneficial Child.

With the Super Pinoy Kid being one of its flagship projects, the Rotaract Club (RAC) of Muntinlupa Central has been recently included as Finalist in the 2022 Rotaract Outstanding Projects Awards.




Rotaractors from RAC Metro Bacolod's twin club also brought their project entitled, "SPK Promotes Oral Health: Ngiting Puting Ngipin," a series of videos promoting the proper and correct way of brushing one's teeth as a way of fighting cavities and bacteria that may damage their teeth. This project of RAC Muntinlupa Central was also recognized as the Most Outstanding Project of Rotary International District 3830 last Life-Changing Rotary Year.

Benefitting more than 100 children across three communities—two in Bacolod City and one in the City of Sagay—Biboy's trip to Negros Occidental undoubtedly widened the smiles of kids with his heroic and admirable stories. Along with the distribution of Super Pinoy Kid copies was a storytelling activity that narrated the four accounts of Biboy. The Rotaract Clubs gathered kids in small groups, where they could listen to a storyteller to ensure that the message of Biboy's adventures was well-received.

After hearing the stories of Biboy, the Negrosanon children witnessed several Ngiting Puting Ngipin videos featuring Biboy with Super Ate Sandy, who went through the good practices of brushing their teeth to maintain good oral health. Beneficiary kids from Education & Training Center School-I and Purok Kabugwason, Brgy. Mansilingan in Bacolod City and from Purok Bougainvillea, Brgy. Old Sagay in Sagay City then received copies of the SPK comics, coloring materials, and oral hygiene kits as gifts.

Headed by their Marvelous Visionary President this Rotary Year, Mayrian Ness Olitoquit, Rotaractors from RAC Muntinlupa Central served as activities' storytellers and facilitators. Among the delegation were Charter President Vincent Naval, Past President Ralph Cepillo, Club Secretary Goldy Jativa, Finance Director Sandra Lascano, and Member Niño Medina.

They were hosted in Bacolod City by the Rotaract Club of Metro Bacolod, under the leadership of Imagine Year Dream President Fel Xyruz Magallona, together with Immediate Past President Ellen Tribunsay, President-Elect Beatriz Marie Abayon, District Rotaract Representative for RID 3850 Magic Alvarado, and other Metro Bacolod clubs, namely: RAC University of St. La Salle, Interact Club (IAC) of La Consolacion College-Metro Bacolod, IAC Liceo de La Salle, and IAC Negros Occidental High School.

The Rotary Club of Metro Bacolod, the mother club of the aforementioned Rotaract and Interact Clubs, fully supported the said events as they were headed by Past District Rotaract Representative and Dream President Richard Jeric L. Chua.

On the other hand, the Rotaractors from RAC Muntinlupa Central were hosted in Sagay City by the Rotaract Club of Metro Sugarbowl Champions under Dream President Yqfryd Alvarado, as supported by Rotarian President Benson Fernandez of the Rotary Club of Sagay-Sinigayan.

A couple of District Rotaract Representatives (DRR) were present throughout the activity, as DRR Maria Teddielyn Bernadette Lebrias of Rotary International District (RID) 3830 and DRR Kert Nhajzr Priagula of RID 3850 graced the momentous occasion for their clubs' joint activities.

RAC Metro Bacolod Club Secretary Jude Lourence Segovia and Professional Development Service Director Brix Joshua Ponclara ensured that the said activities were well-documented by creating articles and collating event photos for the Rotaract community and the general public to view.

In a technology-dominated world, no one is too old and late for a superhero story, and through this joint activity of RAC Metro Bacolod and RAC Muntinlupa Central, the childhood of Negrosanon and Bacolodnon kids has just become brighter and better.
