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.
As Filipino, I knew that the majority of gamblers that using gcash wallet app don’t know how to access the casino directly since the registration process using email gives them a hindrance to register.
I know it’s dumb but that’s what it is for the common Filipino that trying to gamble using e-wallet app. E-wallet make gambling easier for them by just clicking play on the app and they will be redirected on gambling site that already login and they can deposit and withdraw through the e-wallet too since they are connected.
I believe the law just wanted to try to reduce the number of gamblers especially the vulnerable Filipino that is just gambling because they can access it easily. We are on 3rd world country which means many of us is not good on internet technology.
