    5 ways to use your e-wallet to help give you an edge in gaming

    Top up seamlessly, snag the latest pro merch and enhance your gaming experience when you #PayWithGCash

    Gaming has developed an intense competitive scene. Top gamers can now join tournaments and events to earn money and recognition while fans stay updated through live streams of gaming events and pro players. However, getting started with your journey in professional gaming may seem intimidating because the entire process of setting up your gaming needs seems complicated and time-consuming.

    With a simple and straightforward way of paying, GCash makes it easier to celebrate wins and focus on improving your skills. With GCash, it’s so easy to access the world of gaming and pay for all your gaming necessities at any time, anywhere.

    Whether you want to reward yourself for hitting a new rank or to change things up to upgrade your skills for your professional career in esports, a handy e-wallet like GCash makes it easy for you to get premium accessories and awesome loot to be #GToPlay all the time. With the presence of GCash across all platforms, gamers now have access to a complete gaming experience, uninterrupted.

    Here are many ways GCash can get you #GtoPlay right now:

    • Top up and buy new skins

    Impress the lobby with both your skills and your looks when you pick up the newest skins. Whether it be Valorant’s Prelude to Chaosweapon bundle or the new Blacklist International Estes skin in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, give yourself that extra edge to win the match.

    Getting the skins of your choice is easy when you can top up easily in-game or through Codashop thanks to a convenient e-wallet, like GCash.

    • Upgrade your gaming accessories

    How a game feels isn’t just about how you play or how your characters look; you should also look for the perfect accessories that will help improve your gameplay. You can opt for a lightweight mouse to react faster to opponents and put less strain on your wrist or invest in a gaming headset comfy enough to wear for long sessions and comes with a good mic to communicate with your team.

    Getting gaming equipment is even easier now that stores like Datablitz accept GCash as payment in both their stores and website.

    • Soup up your space

    The world of your favorite game doesn’t have to only live on your devices. Posters, figures, stickers, and other decorations for your room can help you get into the zone when you start playing. If you’re into streaming, these items will also provide a great-looking background to show off to viewers.

    Take some time to browse through online stores, like Lazada, to find the perfect item for your gaming space.

    • Show support for your favorite gaming teams

    There’s nothing like wearing an esports jersey to tell the world you’re a gaming fan, so go ahead and wear a jersey or shirt of your favorite esports team. Their apparel won’t make you a gaming legend overnight, but they sure do make great conversation starters!

    Popular esports teams like Blacklist International already have their merchandise easily available on Lazada for purchase.

    • Keep your library up to date

    Keeping up with the latest games and DLC means you will never be out of the loop of what’s happening in the gaming world. This way you’ll be in the know of the newest competitive releases everyone is checking out or be up to date with the latest patch notes of what you already play. Also, having other options to go to besides your main game can help you unwind after dealing with a frustrating losing streak.

    Shop on Steam for the newly released games and updates.

    There is a lot that can go into building the optimal gaming experience for every kind of player. Be #GToPlay in all aspects of gaming when you have a convenient way of paying for your in-game purchases, merchandise and gaming accessories. Focus on winning and upskilling instead of dealing with complicated payment procedures when you #PayWithGCash.

    Top local merchants sell 6x more items at Shopee’s 9.9 Super Shopping Day

    Local businesses benefited as shoppers flocked to the e-commerce platform to score mas mura deals on essential items for as low as ₱1 and ₱49 last 9.9.

    The leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan continues to create memorable shopping experiences at 9.9 Super Shopping Day. Boosted by increased shopper traffic and support from Shopee’s platform tools, top local sellers sold 6 times more items on 9 September than on an average day. These seller offerings in turn created more value for customers, who snapped up the best promotions and mas mura prices on items ranging from their daily essentials to the latest gadgets.

    Shopee’s 9.9 Super Shopping Day brings more benefits to Filipinos by providing buyers with convenient shopping experiences at the best deals, while helping sellers grow their businesses. Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines shared,“We are committed to benefit online shoppers, by bringing them more joy, value, and excitement every 9.9. This drives us to use our platform to deliver the best value for money with our Mas Mura sa Shopee* offers, and to explore other equally fulfilling possibilities that serve the evolving needs of customers and businesses alike, especially as we gear towards another meaningful year-end shopping season.”

    Shoppers secured daily essentials at better deals

    Shopee worked with sellers to curate a wide assortment of ₱1 and ₱49 deals, helping users get their money’s worth when they shopped their everyday essentials in Home & Living, Health & Personal Care, and Women’s Apparel during 9.9. Filipinos were keen to maximize the available deals in acquiring their daily necessities, with one shopper saving as much as ₱200,000 for essential back-to-school items like a new laptop, laptop accessories, and desk accessories.

    Businesses achieved more traffic and a big boost to their sales

    Local sellers took advantage of 9.9 to grow their businesses, with one top local merchant from Valenzuela City selling over 400,000 packs of face masks on 9 September alone. Another fashion accessories seller used Shopee Live to engage with their followers, gaining 80,000 views during their 9.9 livestream. Meanwhile, leading brands Uni-Care, Unilever Beauty, and Maybelline also saw a boost in orders as shoppers looked to Shopee for their go-to branded parenting essentials, personal care products, and beauty must-haves.

    Shopee’s in-app features brought more value and entertainment to all users

    Shoppers were treated to plentiful days of fun from August 26, leading up to a star-studded TV special on September 9. Countless users tuned in to Shopee livestreams 87 million times and engaged with in-app games for over 16 million total plays throughout the 9.9 period.

    ShopeePay brought users more convenience and rewards

    Filipinos continued to enjoy seamless, value-for-money payments as they took advantage of ShopeePay’s ₱1 Load & Data promos, with purchases tripling on 9.9 compared to a regular day. Local shoppers also used ShopeePay to pay off their wish list items on mobile phone accessories, skincare products, and kitchenware sets while payment transactions with various billers doubled during the super shopping day. To stay updated on the latest mas mura deals and promos, download the Shopee app from leading app stores and follow Shopee Philippines on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

    The perks and discounts from brands through Shoppee will excite their new & current customers in buying goods and services within the budget for their daily living.

  • Win Up To 10,000 PHP Additional Per Month When Playing Games on GLife

    Win Up To 10,000 PHP Additional Per Month When Playing Games on GLife

    August 2022, Manila, Philippines – Earning from playing games has traditionally been limited to professional esports athletes or content developers. But now casual gamers can monetize their time playing mobile games with GCash and its partner platforms on GLife.  

    This is just one of the ways users can experience more winning moments every day, as GLife offers hobbyists and competitive gamers opportunities to play mobile games not only for entertainment but also for financial gain. 

    GCash has partnered with mgames and Goama Games to offer an extensive collection of play-to-earn games that users can play either on their own or with their friends, while giving them a new way to supplement their monthly income with something they are passionate about. 

    How to Find Play-to-Earn Games on GLife  

    Play-to-earn games on GCash are a smart choice to spend your free time before or after work. To access these play-to-earn games, open the GCash app and tap the GLife icon. Under the “Browse By Category” section, select “Gaming” to find the Goama Games and mgames mini app. Simply tap on their icon to open each mini app and see all the games you can play!  

    Host Friendly Competitions with Family & Friends on mgames 

    Through private lobbies that allow users to host friendly competitions with their family and friends, mgames provides a dynamic gaming experience that allows people to stay connected even when they are apart. You can create a private lobby from the 200 game library inventory of mgames. A private lobby costs as low as 5 tokens for 10 pax and for a bigger crowd, you can avail the highest package of 700 tokens for 100 pax.  

    In the mgames mini app on GLife, users can find an extensive library of games that they can easily play with their friends. Some of the games to discover include Jewel Blocks, a puzzle and block-stacking game, Spiral Stairs, where players control a 3D cat that runs down a spiral staircase with obstacles, and Knife Dart, which requires precision and timing as users throw knives at a board.  

    “Our latest update now allows players to practice playing their favourite games for free as many times and as long as they want,” shares mgames Community Manager, Alo de Leon. “Furthermore, users can now opt either to compete for GCash rewards or for points to get on the Daily Leaderboard – with bigger chances of landing at the top.” 

    With a wide selection of puzzle, strategy, arcade, and shooter games on the platform, daily quests can be completed to earn energy, tickets, and tokens to increase the chance of winning more money. Throughout the month, rewards of up to PHP800,000 and more can be won from playing and competing on mgames.  

    “The key to winning is to practice. We have some really good players who top the leaderboards but all started as beginners,” Alo adds. 

    Play Tournaments & Earn from Large Prize Pools on Goama Games 

    Goama Games provides a more competitive environment that gives users the chance to compete and engage with other players as they join tournaments and win from prize pools. The Goama Games mini app on GLife offers several categories to choose from, including action, adventure, arcade, puzzle, sports, and strategy games.

    What’s more! Great rewards abound starting this 29 August until 25 September, with Goama Games set to host a Weekly Heroes Tournaments – a collaboration with foodpanda Philippines, to mark the release of the new Pau Pau Run 3D game. 

    In this Weekly Heroes Tournaments, the gameplay is as thrilling as can be as players compete against each other for only seven days, earning as many game tickets as possible to move up in the Weekly Heroes leaderboard. 

    Players need to collect a minimum of 5,000 game tickets to qualify and be one of the 300 players to win a share in the Goama-foodpanda weekly prize pool of over P150,000 in GCash credits and P27,000 in foodpanda vouchers.

  • Shopee Promotes Safe Online Shopping Experience with Shopee Cares PH

    Shopee Promotes Safe Online Shopping Experience with Shopee Cares PH

    Shopee Cares PH empowers users to combat fraud activities. 

    Manila, Philippines, 3 August, 2022 – With more Filipinos relying on e-commerce to get their essentials, this has also increased the need to protect them due to the growing number of fraudulent activities happening in the digital space. In a Consumer Pulse Survey conducted by TransUnion in February 20221, of the over 1,000 Filipino adults polled, 53% said they were targeted by fraudsters in the previous 3 months. From the same survey, 42% said they were scammed by Phishing, 38% were victimized by money and gift card scams, while 30% were scammed by third-party sellers via online retail shops. While businesses in different industries are continuously upgrading their platforms, fraudsters also search for ways on how they can adapt to the ever-changing landscape and discover new vulnerabilities.  

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, recognizes the need to enhance user protection and security by educating customers on vulnerabilities, and how they can avoid being a victim of fraud. With the recently launched Shopee Cares PH – an online community platform where Shopee provides customer education and support – the goal is to empower consumers with proper know-hows and tips on how they can protect themselves from phishing scams, money and gift card scams, and third party seller scams.  

    Martin Yu, Shopee Philippines Director, said, “Shopee has always been committed to ensuring that every Filipino’s online shopping experience is safe and reliable, and Shopee Cares is a testament to that. Through this platform, we aim to  equip them with knowledge on how to shop safely and combat these online scams together so that they can continuously enjoy shopping online.”  

    With Shopee Cares PH, users are also encouraged to seek help for any product inquiry or concern, and inspire other users through their memorable Shopee finds and experiences. Sale tips and tricks are also provided to ensure online shopping is made enjoyable with exclusive deals and promos.  

    “As more Filipinos rely on e-commerce, we continuously ensure that measures are in place to make their experience with Shopee more secure. What we want is for our shoppers to continue enjoying the benefits of online shopping, as this has become an essential part of their daily lives,” Yu added.
