With the partnership of one of the global leader in mobile payment, Boku, with Globe Telecoms, it is now possible to buy credits or in-game coins from popular Facebook games such as FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Pet Society, Restaurant City, etc. using your Globe GCASH.

To do this, make sure that you have sufficient GCASH load and follow these simple steps. If you don’t have GCASH on your Globe number, you can find instructions on how to register here.

1. Go to your game’s credit buying page. I’m going to use FarmVille as an example here:

2. Look for the Pay by Mobile option using paymo that is usually located at the other options part of the page. In FarmVille’s, it’s near the bottom. Click that link.

3. A new page will appear with a selection of credits and their prices. Choose one and click Get Farm Cash.

4. You will be directed to Boku’s secure site to complete your purchase. Select Globe GCASH as your mobile network and enter your mobile number before clicking Continue.

5. Now enter your GCASH MPIN. This is like your ATM’s PIN code that you enter when you registered for your GCASH wallet. Click Confirm.

6. If successful you will be brought to a page like this. You will also get a text message on your mobile informing you of the transaction.

Don’t forget to check your game to see if you indeed received your coins.

There you have it! I just wasted a hundred pesos to write this guide. Hahaha.

Anyway, you don’t have to lend your credit card to your kid to give her some FarmVille coins. You just have to send her some GCASH and while you can use it to buy some Zynga poker chips or Mafia Wars reward points. Too bad you can’t convert your poker winnings back to GCASH.
