Wallets: the biggest change for deposits

Since 16 August 2025, the GCash Help Center says, the app no longer handles top-ups or withdrawals for licensed gaming, and its Games service has been taken out. GCash ties that change to BSP Memorandum M-2025-029. Maya’s note is shorter: Lucky Games was switched off on the same date.

Under that BSP memo, wallets had 48 hours to take down any link that opened gambling inside the app. Neither wallet is a safe assumption in a casino cashier. The casino GCash page and the GCash payments page cover the detail, including the limit update of 1 October 2026.

RA 12312 and the POGO ban

Executive Order 74 of 5 November 2024 banned POGOs and offshore gaming, to cease by 31 December 2024. Republic Act 12312, the Anti-POGO Act, signed 23 October 2025, institutionalises that ban.

In that order, offshore gaming means games aimed at players who sit outside the Philippines. PAGCOR’s memo of 20 November 2024 said electronic gaming offered within Philippine jurisdiction and supervised by its Electronic Gaming Licensing Department is not part of the ban. For a player, it adds another reason to check the list.

The list date and the PESOMAX entry

PAGCOR’s accredited administrators and brands list carries the date 20 October 2026. Row 3 is Bloomberry Resorts and Hotels, Inc. (Solaire Resorts and Casino), and inside it FUNaloMAX’s sub-brand Pesomaxfun appears beside pesomaxfun.com.

The entry was re-checked on 31 October 2026. It covers that domain only, not pesomax.com or pesomax.io. Details are on the PESOMAX PAGCOR listing page.

Help and what is coming

Since 26 May 2026, PAGCOR has run the National Problem Gambling Helpline. Dial the landline (02) 8248-9568; calls are free and confidential, though it is not an emergency line. The responsible gaming page has the rest. PAGCOR’s home page also shows a target of December 2026 for an app that helps players identify licensed platforms; it is a target, not a release.

Red flags to watch for in 2026

  • An article that cites a GCash casino route without a date after 16 August 2025.
  • A list screenshot with no date, or one older than 20 October 2026.
  • A page that treats the Anti-POGO Act as a licence for any site.
  • A mirror link described as “new for 2026”.

The legit online casino check shows the list steps, and real money casino Philippines covers the pesos side.

What did not change

Age stays 21 under PAGCOR’s rules. The restricted groups stay the same. No change this year makes a chat-sent mirror link trustworthy. Check the address at each sign-in with the PESOMAX login page, start from the PESOMAX register page if you are new, and read the PESOMAX app page before installing anything.

How to Get Started

  1. Re-check the list date

    Search the PAGCOR PDF dated 20 October 2026 for the domain; older screenshots may be out of date.

  2. Re-read your payment route

    Open the cashier and check whether it still lists GCash or Maya; both removed gaming on 16 August 2025.

  3. Save the help number

    Put (02) 8248-9568 in your phone now, saved under the National Problem Gambling Helpline name, so it is there on a bad night.

Questions Players Ask

What is new in 2026 for players at Philippine online casinos?

Three dated items. The PAGCOR brand list carries 20 October 2026, PAGCOR's 24/7 problem gambling line went live on 26 May 2026, and new GCash wallet limits apply from 1 October 2026. The August 2025 removal of gaming from GCash and Maya has not been reversed.

What is RA 12312?

Signed on 23 October 2025, RA 12312 (the Anti-POGO Act of 2025) writes the POGO ban into law. Before it, Executive Order 74 of 5 November 2024 had told POGOs to stop by 31 December 2024.

Does the POGO ban affect local online casinos?

PAGCOR's 20 November 2024 memo said electronic gaming offered within Philippine jurisdiction under its Electronic Gaming Licensing Department is not part of the offshore gaming activities banned.

Is the PESOMAX listing still current?

For one domain, yes. Entry 3 of PAGCOR's 20 October 2026 list names Pesomaxfun on pesomaxfun.com, and this site read that row again on 31 October 2026.
