PHCash is another actor in the Philippines that we now can document is defrauding its winners by not paying out the prize money, and the reason this time is hilarious!!

So, here’s the story. A gambler deposited PHP 200,- via GCash:

Then he played and won PHP 28.805,12 but could only withdraw 20.000,00 (max per withdrawal). So he did, or so he tried to do.

But as you can see, the audit failed:

It’s worth noticing, you can not withdraw any amount without having finished the required turnover first, you can not fail an audit without having legally won and done the required turnover. So the audit failure is proof that the player had the money, did act in good faith and legally.

Now, here’s where it gets funny:

After the player had been making fun of the moronic excuses … Oh no, now he suddenly had been betting “abnormal”!!!:

Normal betting is to lose, obviously!

This is so normal in Asia (the rest of the world also, by the way), every trick in the book is being used to scam, defraud, steal and rob. Moving the goal post to prevent paying out money to winners is too normal, but make no mistake, it is FRAUD! No better than theft. To force turnover of your own money – one time – is bad enough and illegal, but to force players to do turnover of the same money they already had won, AFTER THEY IN FACT HAD LEGALLY WON is, of course nothing short of FRAUD!!

So how much does he have to be betting?

Over PHP 143.000,00

That is almost 5 times the amount already won – AFTER the first required turnover. And now, with manipulated algorithm, it’s impossible to win, which, of course is the whole point, and at the same time, one of the reasons it is called FRAUD!!

The link to the Transnational Criminal Organization, the CCP is not visible in this case (yet).

Updated Jan. 2: Been trying to have a conversation with PHCash for a few hours. Turns out, none of them know English as they keep answering questions nobody asked with unrelated pre-written nonsense they copy and paste. That leads me to think this is another Chinese scam center in Cambodia (or Thailand).

The ownership structure is hidden, there’s no address, mail-address or phone numbers available and there’s numerous web-pages .. Of course, it’s all for a reason – To hide the criminals behind the crimes.

PhCash also claim to be accredited by PAGCOR, something they are NOT!!

Something you easily can check for yourself using the resources below, or visit PAGCOR’s homepage directly, also linked below (EGLD):

List of PAGCOR-Accredited Gaming System Administrators and Registered Domain Names / Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) as of 04 December 2025

List of PAGCOR-Approved Registered Brand and Sub Brand of Licensed Casinos as of 04 December 2025

For full overview of all PAGCOR licenses: Electronic Gaming Licensing Department (EGLD)

Certain websites are using the PAGCOR logo without permission (as of January, 2026)

This case will be reported to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in the Philippines, Philippines National Police (PNP), National Telecommunications Commissions, and to PAGCOR.

Isn’t it strange that this case also involve a criminal entity that has its web-business office in Arizona, like another criminal entity we wrote about earlier, MagicJili – Their webpage: https://www.1magicjili.com/ (NOT SAFE _ DO NOT VISIT!!!)

Answer from Malta Gaming Authority (anyone surprised???):

Ticket Ref. TQK-SJXHS-985.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Upon investigation, it appears that the website you referred to is not licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). As we could not establish the licensing jurisdiction, we are unable to refer you to the appropriate regulator.

Engaging only with licensed operators ensures your protection and the fairness of the gaming service. You can verify the licensing status of operators regulated by the MGA through the dynamic seal on their website or through the MGA website.

We recommend that you escalate your case with the relevant Authorities, so they will be able to assist you accordingly.

Further to the above, an internal analysis is being carried out regarding any references made to the MGA and an investigation will ensue.

For more detailed information on the services provided by the Malta Gaming Authority, please visit our website.

Additional support may be found at Gambling Therapy and the Responsible Gaming Foundation.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you require further support.

Sincerely,

Regards,

They claim to be licensed as documented below, but no documentation provided, and so far, both PAGCOR and MGA denies such licenses exist.
