E-wallets GCash and Maya will promptly remove all links redirecting users to online gambling sites in compliance with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' (BSP) order to remove such links.

- By DERCO ROSAL

In a statement late Thursday, Aug. 14, GCash said it would fully comply with the BSP's directive that mandates supervised institutions to suspend in-app gaming access on their mobile payment apps and websites.

GCash said it will implement the changes within 48 hours to promote a more secure and responsible digital financial environment.

Beginning Saturday, Aug. 16, at 8 p.m., access to gaming through the GLife feature on the GCash app will be suspended.

Users who have funds in their gaming accounts can withdraw them back to their GCash wallet through GLife before the deadline.

After this time, users can still access their remaining funds by visiting the gaming merchant's website directly.
