Just wanted to share my recent experience because it seems like there might be big changes coming to how we gamble. As we all know, gambling in the Philippines is already widespread, and addiction has become common since it’s so easy to gamble through mobile apps. Even payment apps like GCash have added casinos to their platform, letting people bet with just a small minimum amount.
But earlier, I was surprised when I opened the app to gamble because it now required me to take a selfie before proceeding. I’m thinking this might be part of the government’s move to ensure minors can’t gamble. Do you think this is a good first step?
I don't know how long you spent before log in to your casino account, if is something you have been using frequently you should be asked for selfie before you could be allowed to continue gambling. This selfie also do not change anything while gambling be it minor or underage gambler because there are people who facially matured and when you go through their kyc process then you would have to understand not everyone who is matured enough are gambling. There some underage gamblers who gambles and since they aren't upto the age bracket they easily go through parents to pass verification.
