Before you start

GCash is popular because most Filipinos already have the app. That convenience is also why a rushed deposit goes wrong: wrong amount, wrong site, or a payment link from a stranger. Slow down, confirm that the site belongs to an operator on the PAGCOR licensee list, and make sure the GCash account is in your own name and that you are 21 or older.

Step-by-step GCash deposit

Open the operator's site by typing its address yourself and log in to your own account.
Go to the cashier or deposit page and choose GCash.
Enter the amount in pesos, checking it sits within the range the operator shows.
Confirm the details and follow the prompt to open GCash or scan the QR code.
Check the payee name and amount inside the GCash app before you approve.
Enter your MPIN yourself, never share it, and approve the payment.
Wait for the confirmation on both GCash and the operator's page, and save the reference number.
Set or review your deposit limit now, before you start playing.

If your first deposit comes with a bonus, read its wagering terms before you claim, as our promotions page explains.

Limits and timing

Two sets of limits apply: the operator's minimum and maximum deposit, and your GCash wallet limits, which depend on your verification level. We do not quote amounts, because they differ by operator and change over time. As for timing, e-wallet deposits at licensed operators typically reflect quickly, but delays happen, so wait a few minutes before assuming something failed.

Troubleshooting a failed deposit

Wallet balance too low: top up GCash first, then retry.
Daily limit reached: wait for the reset or lower the amount.
Payment approved but no credit: note the reference number and contact the operator through its site.
Page timed out: do not pay twice; check your GCash history first.
Mismatched account names: the deposit may be held, so contact the operator.

Safety tips

Never send money to a personal number or account that a chat contact gives you.
Ignore messages offering to deposit on your behalf for a fee.
Do not click payment links from texts or social media.
Keep your MPIN and OTP private, even from someone who claims to be support.
Set a monthly deposit budget and treat it as entertainment spending, not income.
If gambling feels out of control, call NCMH 1553, free and confidential.
