Funding an account here starts at ₱100 through GCash or Maya and ₱500 through cards or bank rails, with wallet credits landing in seconds to minutes. Three failure modes cover almost every delayed credit: a reference number left to expire, a name mismatch between wallet and account, and a transfer started inside the wallet app instead of the operator's cashier.

Floors, timings and the fine print of crediting

Published floors: ₱100 through GCash or Maya, ₱500 through cards and bank transfers — figures from the operator's own FAQ.
Wallet deposits credit in seconds to minutes; a credit still missing after 15 minutes usually means a reference number expired mid-flow.
The name on the funding wallet must match the account name; a relative's GCash is the single most common cause of a frozen credit.
The operator states it absorbs transaction fees on deposits — the wallet's own tariffs, such as 2% on over-the-counter cash-in beyond the ₱8,000 monthly threshold, still apply.
The app route advertises a 10% deposit top-up via GCash or Maya, a bonus layer that arrives with its own wagering condition.

The three mistakes that cause almost every delayed credit

First, a missing or truncated reference number. Bank apps shorten free-text fields, and a reference that arrives incomplete forces a manual match against timestamps and amounts. Second, a mismatched name: a transfer from a wallet or account belonging to someone else will often credit and then create an unsolvable problem at the payout stage. Third, the wrong rail for the moment — a PESONet transfer sent late on a Friday settles on the next banking day, however urgent it feels.

None of these is a platform failure and none is fixed by repeating the transfer, which usually creates a second problem. The fix is the receipt: a screenshot showing amount, reference and timestamp resolves the case in one message. Setting a deposit ceiling in the account at the same time is worth more than any of it — the tool is there precisely so a bad evening cannot become a bad month.

Depositing without a manual review

Complete the identity check first: a government ID and a live selfie are expected before the first deposit.
Open the cashier on the operator side and pick the rail — see Payment Methods.
Enter the amount, then copy the reference number exactly as shown rather than retyping it.
Approve the transfer inside GCash or Maya, or send it from your bank app over InstaPay.
Keep the receipt until the balance appears, and set a deposit ceiling in the account while you are there.

Strictly 21+. Never fund an account from a wallet that is not in your own name.

Wallet tiers and charges are set by the payment provider; platform minimums are set by the operator.

Frequently asked questions

My deposit left GCash but the balance is empty — now what?

Give it 15 minutes, then raise a ticket with the transaction reference. Expired references self-refund to the wallet within hours in most cases; support closes the loop when they do not.

Can someone else top up my account?

No — the name on the funding source has to match the account. A relative's wallet is the most common trigger for a frozen credit and a manual review.

Is there a smart first deposit size?

Below the bonus optimum, ₱100–500 tests the full loop — deposit, a few rounds, payout — at minimal risk. Committing the welcome-package maximum before the first successful cash-out reverses the sensible order.
