Pusoy has been the weekend ritual of Filipino families for decades — 13 cards, three hands, and a table full of banter and bluffing. At 0kebet, we've taken that exact game and moved it online, with real money pots, live Filipino opponents, and payouts straight to your GCash in minutes. Whether you're a Pusoy veteran or just learning the ropes, there's a table at 0kebet waiting for you. Laro na!
Two formats, one lobby. Whether you prefer the classic 13-card Chinese Poker or the fast-and-furious Pusoy Dos, 0kebet has the right table for your style and bankroll.
The original 13-card game where each player arranges their full hand into three groups — a 3-card front, a 5-card middle, and a 5-card back — and compares against all other players simultaneously. Strategic arrangement is everything at 0kebet's Pusoy tables.
The fast-paced Filipino card shedding game — get rid of all your cards before your opponents do. Play singles, pairs, three-of-a-kind, or five-card combinations, always beating the previous play. A 2 (Dos) beats everything. Quick, competitive, and addictive at 0kebet.
Multi-round tournaments for both Pusoy and Pusoy Dos — buy in once, compete across multiple games, and earn from the prize pool. 0kebet runs daily, weekly, and monthly Pusoy tournaments with prize pools from ₱10,000 to ₱500,000. Open to all registered players.

Pusoy is a 13-card game — all about arrangement, hand reading, and knowing when to sacrifice one hand to dominate the others. Here's a complete walkthrough of how a game works at 0kebet.
Each of the 2 to 4 players receives 13 cards from a standard 52-card deck. Cards are dealt face-down and kept private. There are no community cards and no drawing — you work with exactly what you're dealt from the start.
You arrange your 13 cards into three groups: a Front Hand of 3 cards, a Middle Hand of 5 cards, and a Back Hand of 5 cards. The critical rule — your Back Hand must be the strongest, Middle Hand second strongest, and Front Hand the weakest. Setting your hands out of order (a "foul") results in automatic loss of all points for that round.
Once all players have set their hands, all cards are revealed simultaneously. Each player compares their Front, Middle, and Back hand against every other player's corresponding hand — one-on-one. Win 2 out of 3 hands against a player and you take a point from them; win all 3 (a sweep) and you earn bonus points.
Points are converted to peso values based on the table's unit stake. Bonus points are awarded for special hands — see the scoring table below. At 0kebet, all point calculations are handled automatically after reveal, with instant payouts or deductions from each player's stack at the end of every round.
Royalties are automatic bonus points for premium hands, regardless of the comparison result. Examples: a Royal Flush in the Back earns +10 points, Three-of-a-Kind in the Front earns +3 points, and a Dragon (all 13 cards in sequence) earns a massive automatic win. 0kebet applies standard Filipino Pusoy royalty rules at all tables.
Pusoy Dos is a different beast — it's a shedding game where speed and card-beat-card logic matter more than hand arrangement. Here's how it works at 0kebet.
13 cards are dealt to each player. The player holding the 3 of Clubs (or lowest card in some variants) goes first and must play it. Turns proceed clockwise from there.
On your turn, you must play a card or combination that beats the previous play. Singles beat singles (higher card wins), pairs beat pairs, triples beat triples, and five-card hands follow standard poker rankings. Suit matters in Pusoy Dos when ranks tie — Spades beat Hearts beat Diamonds beat Clubs.
Twos are the most powerful single cards in Pusoy Dos — they beat every other individual card. The 2 of Spades is the highest single card in the game. However, 2s can be countered by certain five-card hands in some table rules. 0kebet follows the standard Filipino Pusoy Dos 2-counter rules.
If you can't or don't want to beat the current play, you pass. Once all other players pass, the last person who played leads the next round with any valid combination. The first player to empty their hand wins the round and earns money from the remaining players based on how many cards they have left.
Pusoy is one of those games where the rules on paper don't tell the whole story. The real game happens in the nuances — knowing whether to sacrifice your middle hand to protect a strong back, reading your opponents' setting time to gauge their confidence, and understanding when a three-of-a-kind front hand is worth the risk even when it exposes you elsewhere.
0kebet built its Pusoy platform around how Filipinos actually play the game at home. The royalty system uses the standard Filipino rules. The scoring reflects the unit-based point exchange that families across the Philippines use. Even the table chat has the familiar energy of a Pusoy session — because that social element is genuinely part of what makes the game worth playing.
The mobile interface at 0kebet is designed for the way Pusoy players naturally think — the three-hand arrangement view is clear, the card-drag interaction feels natural, and the timer gives you enough time to think without dragging games out. Whether you're in Cebu, Davao, or Metro Manila, the 0kebet Pusoy experience is consistent and smooth.
From highest to lowest — these are the five-card hand rankings used in the Back and Middle positions at 0kebet's Pusoy tables. The Front hand uses only 3-card rankings (pairs beat high cards; no straights or flushes).
Front hand (3 cards) uses only: Three of a Kind > Pair > High Card — no straights or flushes apply to the front position at 0kebet.

Good Pusoy players think several moves ahead — not just arranging the best hands possible, but setting up hands that maximize points against the widest range of opponent holdings.
The biggest mistake beginners make is loading up one dominant hand and leaving the others weak. At 0kebet's Pusoy tables, you earn points per hand comparison — winning all three against one opponent pays triple. A balanced arrangement that wins 2-of-3 against everyone usually outperforms a setup that sweeps one player but loses badly to the others.
Royalty bonuses at 0kebet pay regardless of whether you win the comparison. A Royal Flush in the back earns +10 bonus points from every other player automatically. If you're dealt a hand that's one card away from a royalty, consider rearranging other positions to capture it — the bonus points often outweigh whatever you give up.
In Pusoy, the time a player takes to set their hands reveals information. A player who locks in within seconds usually has an obvious, strong hand — or is very experienced. A player who takes the full timer almost always has a difficult arrangement decision. Use this cue at 0kebet's live tables when deciding whether to go conservative or aggressive with your own layout.
A strong front hand (three-of-a-kind earns a royalty, and even a high pair is powerful) can net you one guaranteed point from every player. With 3–4 players at an 0kebet table, a dominant front hand is worth more total points than a marginal improvement in the middle. Don't neglect the front while chasing a back flush.
A foul (setting hands out of valid strength order) costs you all three comparisons automatically — essentially gifting points to every other player at the table. When you're close to the timer limit at 0kebet, submit a valid but conservative arrangement rather than an aggressive one you're not 100% sure about. A mediocre valid set always beats a foul.
Pusoy scoring is cumulative across many rounds. Even if you don't win every round, keeping your point losses small when you have a weak deal is just as important as maximizing wins when you have a strong one. Consistent +1 to +2 unit sessions build bankroll far more reliably than swinging for 3-sweeps every hand at 0kebet's cash tables.
