Stay Compliant and Connected with MOCEAN During Regulatory Changes

Context: BSP E-Wallet Unlinking from Online Gambling

Following a directive from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on August 14, 2025, all e-wallet platforms were mandated to remove in-app icons and links that direct users to online gambling sites within 48 hours. This move, aimed at curbing rising social concerns over gambling addiction, was quickly implemented by major providers such as GCash and Maya.

The Challenge for Online Gaming Companies

With e-wallets removing direct pathways to gaming platforms, reaching and retaining players has become more challenging. Users can still access gaming sites directly—but ways to alert, re-engage, or manage user communications have narrowed.
