No. smsm.ph strictly allows only one account per person, per household, and per payment method.

Wagering requirements (sometimes called playthrough requirements) specify how many times you must bet a bonus amount before withdrawing winnings derived from it.

Not necessarily.

The eligible games list and contribution rates are always stated in the bonus terms. Check before you play.
