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?
Is this with Gcash? it's normal that they will ask us with a selfie verification whenever they want to. Or usually, they will ask this when you change your phone/device or your login/number details have already expired on the app. So by the time that you open and login to them, that's what they will ask us at most times. Even before the hot issue about online gambling and ewallet apps have exploded, Gcash has been doing that way of verifying users. I think I was able to do this step maybe 3-4 times and just the same face, of course mine.  Tongue

I think OP meant about the gambling app that requires selfie before you can play and not about Gcash requiring selfie to log in after changing device for verification. Op just explains that even Gcash have added gambling on their platform. It would be annoying if gambling platforms require selfie everytime you want to gamble unless it only requires once and no more selfies required. We won't know until OP will tell what app he used when he was asked for selfie. I think it's because they don't want minors to play since many casinos didn't even require KYC and just requires payment method and mobile number.
