Tongits is more than a card game — it's a Filipino tradition. Whether you grew up playing it during family reunions, holiday breaks, or lazy Sunday afternoons with the barkada, you already know the thrill of laying down that last set and shouting "Tong-its!" At fb77pro, we've brought that same homegrown energy to your phone or laptop. Play anytime, anywhere — against real players, for real money.
Tongits — sometimes spelled "Tong-its" — is a three-player draw-and-discard card game that originated in the northern Philippines and spread rapidly across the archipelago through word of mouth, family gatherings, and neighborhood tong-its sessions that stretch deep into the night. Unlike poker or blackjack, Tongits is a uniquely Filipino game — and that's exactly what makes it special.
The objective is simple: be the first player to dispose of all your cards by forming valid sets (three or four cards of the same rank) and sequences (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit). You can also declare "Tongits" by going out with a clean hand, or win by having the lowest hand value when someone calls a "Draw." The game is fast, strategic, and deeply social — which is why fb77pro's online version captures exactly that feel through smooth, real-time multiplayer tables.
FB77Pro's Tongits platform is purpose-built for Filipino players. The table interface uses familiar game language — "Tong-its," "Draw," "Challenge," "Fold" — so there's no translation layer between you and the game. Tables are available across four stake levels, from casual rooms where you can play for as little as ₱10, all the way up to VIP high-stakes rooms with pots that can reach ₱50,000 and beyond.
The fb77pro matchmaking system pairs you with players of similar skill levels, so you're never thrown in the deep end against pros on your first session. And because the platform uses a certified Random Number Generator (RNG) for all card shuffles and dealing, every hand is provably fair — no deck manipulation, no house advantage beyond the standard rake.
FB77Pro offers four stake tiers for Tongits, so whether you're a casual weekend player or a seasoned competitor, there's always a room that fits.

If you've played Tongits at home, the fb77pro version will feel immediately familiar. Here's a quick rundown of the rules as implemented on our platform — same classic Tongits, now with the convenience of mobile and online play.
The dealer gets 13 cards; the other two players receive 12 cards each. The remaining cards form the draw pile (the "Stock"). The game begins with the dealer drawing from the stock or picking up a discarded card.
On your turn, draw a card then discard one. Arrange cards into "Poker Hands" (three/four of a kind) or "Sakla" sequences (three or more consecutive same-suit cards). You can also "Sapaw" (add cards) onto other players' exposed sets.
You win by declaring "Tongits" (disposing of all your cards), or when a "Draw" is called — the player with the fewest remaining card points wins. A player can call a Draw when it's their turn if they haven't drawn from the stock that turn.
Other players can "Fight" (challenge) the Draw declaration. If the challenger has fewer card points than the Draw caller, the challenger wins. This bluffing element adds a layer of psychological strategy unique to Tongits.
Card point values follow standard Tongits rules — Ace = 1, number cards = face value, face cards = 10. At fb77pro, pots are settled instantly and winnings are credited to your wallet immediately after each round concludes.
Beyond the regular cash tables, fb77pro runs structured Tongits tournaments every single day of the week. These are sit-and-go and scheduled tournament formats where a fixed buy-in gets you a set number of chips, and the prize pool is distributed among the top finishers. Tournaments are a great way to play longer sessions with capped risk — you know exactly how much you're spending upfront, and the upside can be significant.
Register a new fb77pro account and your first tournament buy-in is matched free — up to ₱200. No code needed.
