GCash suspends in-app gaming access via GLife, users can withdraw funds until Aug 16
Mobile wallet GCash suspended access to gaming via GLife starting Saturday, August 16, at 8 p.m., in compliance with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)'s directive.
Users can withdraw funds from their gaming accounts back to their GCash wallets through GLife until the deadline, after which they will need to access remaining funds directly through the gaming merchant website.
GCash emphasized its commitment to maintaining a safe and secure digital environment in line with BSP Memorandum No. M-2025-029, mandating the suspension of in-app gaming access in mobile payment apps and websites.
During a Senate Committee hearing on Thursday, BSP Deputy Governor Mamerto Tangonan announced that e-wallets must disconnect from online gaming platforms by Sunday.
GCash supports stronger safeguards for online gaming and will continue collaborating with regulators and industry partners to protect the financial health of Filipinos.
