giga88 brings sports betting to Filipino players with a wide range of local and international markets, competitive odds, and a platform built for mobile. All bets are placed in Philippine Peso with no currency conversion required.
About Betting
Sports betting has long been part of Filipino sports culture — whether it's placing a friendly wager on a PBA game with friends, following a big boxing card, or tracking your favourite football club. giga88 brings that experience online in a format that's straightforward to use and completely denominated in Philippine Peso.
The betting section on giga88 covers the sports Filipinos care about most, from local basketball leagues to international football, combat sports, volleyball, and esports. Markets are available before games begin — pre-match betting — and in many cases continue to be available while the action is live, letting you react to what's happening in real time.
Whether you're betting from Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the Philippines, the giga88 platform is accessible on your phone browser or through the Android app. Your account balance stays in PHP, deposits use local payment methods you already know, and the whole experience is designed to feel familiar rather than complicated.
Sports Coverage
giga88 prioritises the sports most popular among Filipino bettors, alongside key international competitions that draw attention throughout the year.
The most-watched sport in the Philippines. giga88 covers PBA games alongside the NBA regular season, playoffs, and Finals. Markets typically include moneyline, spread, and totals across most matchups. For many Filipino bettors, basketball is where they spend the most time in the betting section.
Football is giga88's most globally expansive sports category. Major European leagues — the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 — are well-represented, along with the UEFA Champions League, FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and AFC competitions relevant to Southeast Asia.
Boxing holds a special place in Philippine sports culture. giga88 offers betting on major professional bouts, including world title fights across all weight classes. Whether it's a Filipino champion defending a belt or a high-profile heavyweight card, boxing markets are available in the giga88 betting section when big fights are scheduled.
Esports is one of the fastest-growing betting categories in the Philippines. giga88 covers popular titles including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Dota 2, League of Legends, CS2, and Valorant. Tournament coverage includes regional competitions and international events like The International, Worlds, and major Valorant championships.
The UAAP and PVL have built strong fan followings in the Philippines, and giga88 includes volleyball among its sports betting options. International coverage extends to major FIVB events and top club competitions. Volleyball betting markets follow a similar structure to other team sports — with match winner and set-based options available.
Beyond the main categories, giga88 also covers tennis, badminton, MMA, baseball, and select racing events. The availability of markets for smaller sports varies by season and event schedule — the betting lobby reflects what's currently active rather than a static list of every sport available year-round.
Bet Types
Different bet types suit different approaches. Here's a breakdown of the most common markets you'll find in the giga88 betting section.
The simplest bet — you pick which team or player wins the match. No point spread involved. Odds reflect the relative strength of each side, so favourites return less and underdogs return more for the same stake.
A handicap is applied to level the field between two uneven sides. You bet on whether a team wins by more than the spread (or keeps it closer than the spread). This is one of the most popular bet types for basketball on giga88.
You bet on whether the combined score of a game will be over or under a line set by the platform. You're not predicting a winner — just whether the total output is higher or lower than expected. Common in basketball, football, and tennis.
A parlay combines two or more individual bets into one. All selections must win for the bet to pay out. The upside is that odds multiply together, making the potential return much larger — but a single wrong pick loses the entire stake.
Markets that stay open after a match has started. Odds shift continuously to reflect the current score, momentum, and time remaining. Live betting lets you place a wager mid-game rather than committing to a position before tip-off or kick-off.
Proposition bets focus on specific events within a game rather than the overall result. Examples include a player's point total, number of assists, first team to score, or total corners in a football match. Availability varies by sport and event.
Understanding Odds

Responsible Gaming
Sports betting is most enjoyable when approached as entertainment with a set budget — not as a way to generate consistent income. There is no betting strategy that guarantees a profit. Every outcome in sports carries genuine uncertainty, and even the most researched bets can lose.
Before placing any bet, decide in advance the maximum amount you're comfortable losing in that session. Once that amount is gone, stop — regardless of how confident you feel about the next game. Chasing losses by increasing stake sizes is one of the most common ways betting stops being fun and starts becoming a problem.
giga88 is strictly for players who are 21 years of age or older. If you feel that your betting is getting difficult to control, the Responsible Gaming page has practical guidance on setting limits and getting support.
Responsible Gaming InfoBeyond betting, giga88 also offers Live Casino, Slot Games, eBingo, and a VIP Programme for regular players.
