| Regulated by | Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas |
| Wallet limit | PHP 100,000 for a Fully Verified account, measured at any one moment. Climbing the ladder means PHP 10,000 on Basic, then PHP 50,000 once GCash Jr applies, PHP 100,000 at Fully Verified, PHP 500,000 under GCash Plus and finally PHP 1,000,000 on GCash Platinum |

| Settlement | real time on wallet-to-wallet and InstaPay transfers, same banking day on PESONet — in both cases a property of the underlying rail rather than of GCash |
| Published fees | Across all OTC channels together, cash-in costs nothing up to PHP 8,000 a month and 2 per cent above that, with the count resetting on the first of each month. The bank sets the charge on linked-bank cash-in over InstaPay — UnionBank PHP 10, BPI PHP 15. Below PHP 20,000 a PayPal cash-in costs 1 per cent, and at or above it a flat PHP 200, though GCash states this turns into a flat 1 per cent from 7 March 2026. No charge applies to remittance claims or to cash-in via Payoneer. On a cash-in of at least PHP 100, Pera Outlet agents apply a suggested 1 per cent that the outlet itself sets |

The published ceiling of PHP 100,000 for a Fully Verified account, measured at any one moment.

How fast money actually moves
GCash settles real time on wallet-to-wallet and InstaPay transfers, same banking day on PESONet — in both cases a property of the underlying rail rather than of GCash. The rail is what that describes, not the casino: a withdrawal can sit under an operator’s own review long before GCash sees it, and that review is usually where the waiting comes from.
A per-transaction cap is not published. None is published for this rail.
What GCash says about gambling transactions
Nowhere in GCash’s terms and conditions is there a blanket ban on gambling merchants; the closest general clause rules out pyramid and Ponzi schemes. Whatever restrictions apply have come from the regulator. Dated 14 August 2025, BSP Memorandum M-2025-029 gave every BSP-supervised institution 48 hours to strip out in-app links and redirects to gambling and gaming sites, and from 16 August 2025 GCash pulled the GLife Games top-up and withdrawal feature.
A zero-tolerance stance toward illegal gambling operators is stated separately by GCash, which has reported blocking roughly 3,200 merchants for abusing its QR system to push users toward illegal gambling and scam sites. Taken together it holds back in-app gaming top-ups and merchants tied to illegal gambling. Nowhere in any of it does GCash say its wallet may be used to fund a licensed casino’s cashier, and nowhere does it say the opposite.
