| Published fees | Cash-in over the counter is free until the combined monthly total across OTC channels reaches PHP 8,000, after which 2 per cent applies to the remainder, resetting on the first. PHP 15 at BPI and PHP 10 at UnionBank make up the bank-set fee for InstaPay cash-in from a linked account. Today’s PayPal cash-in pricing runs 1 per cent under PHP 20,000 and a flat PHP 200 from that point on, with GCash saying a flat 1 per cent applies starting 7 March 2026. Cash-in via Payoneer and remittance claims through it are provided at no charge. Cash-ins of PHP 100 or more draw a suggested 1 per cent fee from Pera Outlet agents, with the rate set by the outlet. |

How fast money actually moves
GCash settles the underlying rail sets these speeds rather than GCash — instant for wallet-to-wallet and InstaPay, same banking day for PESONet. It’s a rail-level point rather than a casino one — before GCash ever handles a withdrawal, an operator can hold it for internal review, and that review is normally where the delay originates.
A per-transaction cap is not published. None is published for this rail.
What GCash says about gambling transactions
The closest GCash’s own terms and conditions get to barring gambling merchants outright is a clause against pyramid and Ponzi schemes. Restrictions, where they exist, are a product of regulator action. GCash removed its GLife Games top-up and withdrawal feature effective 16 August 2025 after BSP Memorandum M-2025-029, dated 14 August 2025, gave every BSP-supervised institution 48 hours to strip in-app gambling and gaming links and redirects.
In a separate statement, GCash reports blocking around 3,200 merchants that abused its QR system to redirect users toward illegal gambling and scam sites, and affirms a zero-tolerance policy toward illegal gambling operators. That combination of measures restrains illegal-gambling-linked merchants together with in-app gaming top-ups. Using GCash to fund a licensed casino’s cashier is a matter this leaves open, neither confirmed nor denied.
