I refuse to even ty to understand how a guy using a mobile phone, being able to install and fund that GCash wallet app or whatever, would have trouble installing a casino app.
This is beyond me, sorry!
No idea how this Gcash works, how do you load it without a bank account, does it work like paysafecard that you can buy codes from vending machines?
You should be surprised how many people there are in developing countries, like mine, how have a quite good phone with android and yet, they don't know what an apk is and don't know how to install applications from outside of the official stores, which is fairly easy.
There are even people who have an Android phone and they do not go beyond using it for WhatsApp, Telegram, calls and messages (perhaps as well some occasional game).
That is the bulk of people who have an Android phone in developing countries, specially in rural areas. I would not be surprised most of them did not even know how to operate an email.
So it is perfectly possible there are many folks in the Philippines who will stop gambling because of these mild restrictions between casinos and e-wallets in the countries. Still, those who really want to continue gambling won't get stopped by measures like these ones, and they willg etc out their way to continue, that's for sure.
