What changed in August 2025
GCash removed gambling links from GLife on 17 August 2025 under a BSP directive. The shortcut is gone; GCash itself did not announce a ban on transfers to licensed operators. Whether a deposit works now depends on the operator’s cashier integration.

If a GCash deposit is debited but not credited
Keep the GCash reference number and the operator’s cashier screenshot; contact the operator first, then escalate — see withdrawal and deposit problems.
