Maya, Gcash and other ewallets that are used to link their accounts to online casinos have to remove their connection and easy to online sites. But, I think that there is a need to clarify that it won't fully stop an individual to still gamble online. Online gambling is still allowed and what needs clarification is this;
In a statement on Thursday, GCash said it will fully comply with BSP’s proactive directive to remove links and icons that connect payment apps to online gambling platforms.
So all this is just a nothingburger?
you have to read the OP carefully.
You have to lock this topic or change the first post since it is clearly misleading:
However, as pointed out by Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian, gamblers will still be able to bet using these e-wallet platforms by directly accessing e-gambling sites on their mobile phones or computers.
So you don't log in to GCash and fund your betting account, you log in to the betting site and fund your account via GCash.Nothingburger!
It's like saying you can't deposit to betfair directly from paypal, you need to login to Betfair and then fund your account with PayPal.
It's now two taps instead of one, for sure it will stop gambling.
