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?
Just to satisfy the people from these lawmakers. They did put Gcash and commanded together with Maya(another ewallet) to unlink all casino related things inside their platform. Because a user can actually gamble inside of these financial app(e-wallet). So, pretty much that it's a nothingburger and people can still gamble and go to online casinos and still use them personally. And to be specific on the usage, that's how the actuality goes from the lawmakers about their command to these apps. Without understanding the whole context, it looks big news and I thought that it was but upon realizing the whole thing, it's just a move to say that they've done something.
