Funding your w500 account is quick and straightforward. Use GCash, Maya, or Philippine online banking to deposit in PHP — no currency conversion, no unnecessary steps, and your balance updates as soon as your payment is confirmed.
All deposits are processed in Philippine Peso. Pick the method that's most convenient for you.
Send funds from your GCash wallet to your w500 account using the linked payment option inside the deposit section. One of the fastest and most widely used options for Filipino players.
Maya users can deposit directly into w500 through the available e-wallet channel. Your payment is processed in PHP and reflects in your account balance once confirmed.
Use your Philippine bank's internet banking or mobile banking app to send funds via InstaPay or PESONet. Works with most major local banks including BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and UnionBank.
Standard bank-to-bank transfers in PHP are also accepted. This option suits players who prefer to send funds directly from their bank branch or ATM without using a mobile app.
All deposit channels listed on w500 operate entirely in Philippine Peso. There is no need to convert your money before depositing. Credit cards and cryptocurrency are not accepted as deposit methods on w500.

A few practical habits go a long way toward making sure your deposit lands without any issues. These tips are based on the most common things that trip up first-time depositors on w500.
When w500 generates a deposit reference number, include it exactly in your transfer remarks or description. This is how the system matches your payment to your account. Missing or incorrect references are the leading cause of delayed deposits.
The amount you transfer should match what you entered in the deposit form on w500. Sending a different amount — even by a few pesos — can cause a mismatch that requires manual review before your balance is updated.
Deposit instructions on w500 include a time limit. If the window expires before you complete the transfer, generate a new deposit request rather than sending payment to the old details. Using expired references can lead to unmatched transactions.
Screenshot or save the transaction confirmation from GCash, Maya, or your bank app. If there's ever a question about a pending deposit, having the receipt on hand makes it much faster to resolve through w500 account support.
Responsible play starts at the deposit stage. Decide in advance how much you're comfortable putting in for the session and stick to it. w500 is meant to be entertaining — depositing only what you can afford to lose keeps it that way.
Depositing is the first step into your w500 session. Always treat it as entertainment spending, not an investment. Set a personal limit, track your deposits, and take a break when you need one. w500 is strictly for players who are 21 years and older.
