Published feesAccording to Maya’s cash-in page, cash-in through selected partners costs nothing up to a combined PHP 8,000 per month, after which 2 per cent applies to the excess. Maya’s own site is the source of that figure, but it was not re-fetched while the research was verified, so it counts for less than the GCash schedule above, which was read first-hand.

Maya states these as MONTHLY wallet limits. The ceiling GCash sets applies to the balance you hold at any given time. Each figure measures something different, so setting one beside the other tells you nothing, no matter how often they are shown as equivalent.

The figures on this page are as of 2026-09, a single point in time. Providers change limits and fees without notice, so the provider’s own page is the sole current source.

How fast money actually moves

Maya settles pESONet lands the same banking day; wallet-to-wallet and InstaPay transfers land in real time. That covers the rail alone, not the casino: waiting time mostly comes from the operator’s own review, which can hold a withdrawal before it ever reaches Maya.

A per-transaction cap of Upgraded-tier users can send up to PHP 20,000 in a single transaction to another Maya user, and move up to PHP 50,000 a day out through InstaPay applies, which is why a larger transfer sometimes has to be split.

Verification tiers

  • Basic — A wallet limit of PHP 50,000 per month and a purchase limit of PHP 50,000 per day. At this tier you cannot make bank transfers through InstaPay or send money to other Maya users
  • Upgraded — Approval takes a valid ID, a verified address and a video selfie. A monthly wallet limit of PHP 100,000, daily purchases up to PHP 100,000, transfers to a Maya user capped at PHP 20,000 each and PHP 100,000 per day, and InstaPay out of PHP 50,000 daily and PHP 100,000 monthly
  • Super Users — A monthly wallet limit of PHP 500,000 applies, along with daily purchase and send limits of PHP 500,000. The requirements for qualifying for this tier are not published by Maya
  • Ultimate Users — A monthly wallet limit of PHP 5,000,000 applies, along with daily purchase and send limits of PHP 5,000,000. The requirements for qualifying for this tier are not published by Maya

The published ceiling of Starting at PHP 50,000 for Basic, the monthly limit is PHP 100,000 at the Upgraded tier, then PHP 500,000 for Super Users and PHP 5,000,000 for Ultimate Users applies to the tier stated above, not to every account.

What Maya says about gambling transactions

Reading Maya’s e-wallet terms and conditions directly turns up no gambling clause, just general bans on illegal activity and on anti-money-laundering breaches. The terms of its CREDIT CARD, which is a separate product, list ‘illegal gambling or unauthorized game of chance’ as a restricted transaction and state that the card may be suspended or cancelled as a result. In August 2025 BSP Memorandum M-2025-029 applied to Maya as well, and it took down its in-app gambling and gaming links as a result. Keep the two products apart: a rule in a credit card agreement does not restrict the wallet.
