WPC Online sabong may seem to be a simple game to bet on since it only involves two chickens in a cockpit. However, the rules of sabong may not be evident at a glance and players will need to be able to take full advantage of the game’s rules if they want to win their bets.
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 WPC Online sabong matches follow a certain set of rules that dictate how a typical match proceeds. These general rules of 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.
Sabong Rules: What a Single Match Consists of
Each match consists of three different stages that make up a complete match. These are the ulatan, ruweda, and the match proper. The ulatan is when the roosters are paired upfor the match and usually happens off-screen to save time. The ruweda is the time when the two roosters are presented to the gamblers for visual inspection to see which one is the better bird. The fight itself is when the two roosters are dropped into the cockpit to fight for a maximum of ten minutes until one or both roosters can no longer fight.
During the match itself, the referee will pick up both roosters from time to time. This occurs when one rooster is already on top of the other bird and is keeping it from continuing to fight or when one bird looks like they can no longer fight. Once the birds are picked up, the carreo commences and a winner can be decided when one bird pecks the other twice and the other doesn’t.
