Betting on live sabong matches is extremely simple since bettors will only need to bet on Meron, Wala, or Draw to be able to play and win real money. The underlying sabong rules are more complicated, however, and not knowing these can leave bettors scratching their heads on why they didn’t win even when the other rooster is already dying and can’t fight.

Live online sabong matches follow a certain set of rules that dictate how a typical match proceeds. These general rules of WPC Online sabong matches are the following:
- All matches consist of the ulatan, ruweda and the fight itself.
- Fighting roosters are paired to birds with similar size, height, weight, and wingspan.
- Fighting roosters are handled during the ruweda for inspection and evaluation by bettors.
- Fighting roosters are outfitted with metal blades or spurs.
- Fighting roosters fight to the death or until one or both can no longer fight.
- Fighting roosters are allotted 10 minutes to fight a single round.
- A fighting rooster wins when the opposing rooster does not peck twice during the carreo.
