Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a GCash cashout take?
With KYC complete and the payout approved, GCash withdrawals ride the InstaPay rail and usually land within minutes to about an hour, 24/7. First-time or peak payouts can take up to around three hours.
What is the maximum I can withdraw at once?
GCash cashouts run on InstaPay, capped at ₱50,000 per transaction and ₱500,000 per day. For a larger single amount, split it across days or use PESONet, which has no fixed per-transaction cap.
Are there fees to cash out?
Casino-side GCash payouts are generally fee-free. On the wallet side, GCash cash-in is free to ₱8,000 a month then about 2%, Maya charges roughly ₱15 per outbound InstaPay transfer, and GoTyme transfers are free.
Why do I need KYC before withdrawing?
KYC is a PAGCOR requirement, not an operator invention. It confirms your identity and that you are 21 or older, and protects your account. You submit one valid government ID once; first-time review takes 24–48 hours.
Which IDs are accepted for verification?
A Philippine passport, SSS card, UMID, PhilHealth card, driver's license, or PRC ID. The wallet must be in your own name — third-party accounts are rejected under the rules.
How old do I need to be to play?
You must be at least 21 years old to register and play at any PAGCOR-licensed casino. Age is confirmed during KYC, and accounts found to belong to minors are closed.
What is RTP, and does it guarantee my winnings?
RTP is the long-run theoretical payout of a game across millions of rounds. A 97% slot does not return ₱97 of every ₱100 in a session — short-run results vary widely. RTP is a property of the game, not a per-session promise.
Can an operator change a JILI game's RTP?
Yes. JILI offers several configurable RTP tiers, commonly 92–97%, and the operator picks which to run. The game plays identically; only the long-run payback differs, so we favour operators that disclose their tier.
How do bonuses and wagering requirements work?
A bonus carries a wagering requirement — a multiplier for how many times you must bet the bonus before it becomes withdrawable. A ₱100 bonus at 20x means ₱2,000 in bets first. Always read the specific terms before claiming.
What should I do if I think I have a gambling problem?
Use self-exclusion in your account settings to lock it for a chosen period, and set deposit and loss limits. You can also call the NCMH crisis hotline at 1553 — free and confidential. Please reach out early.
