Maya and Casino Cash-Ins: Tier, Limits, and a Deposit Banner

You asked how to cash in to a casino with Maya. Maya’s own answer is that the app itself no longer does this: the Lucky Games shutdown came on 16 August 2025. Since then Maya’s advice has been to go straight to whichever gaming provider you use, on its own website or app. SLOTVIP’s How-to page names Paymaya among its methods, but no help page can promise that a Maya cash-in goes through.

Your next step is on your side of the transfer: get the account to the right tier, then read the cashier yourself after you sign in.

Maya and the 2025 BSP directive

M-2025-029, the BSP memorandum behind the change, gave supervised institutions a 48-hour window for removing gambling links, and its reach covers anything that forwards a user to gaming sites. That covered Maya.

Next step: expect nothing inside the app to lead you to a casino, and treat anything claiming otherwise with suspicion.

Maya account tiers and their limits

The tier decides what can leave your wallet, so check Basic first: it cannot send a bank transfer at all.

Maya’s limits page notes that a monthly limit can change, so the app’s profile button and Account Limits screen hold the current figure. Sending money to another local bank by InstaPay from Maya costs ₱10 per successful transfer.

PayMaya, the old name on a lobby’s banner

Maya Philippines, Inc. used to be PayMaya, and this lobby’s pages still print the old name. Its promotions page runs a PayMaya rewards offer, a deposit-channel promotion, and the headline is an “up to” figure, which marks a ceiling and says nothing about an ordinary deposit.

Next step: read that promotion’s own terms before you choose Maya for it, because nearly every offer on the page is reserved for app users.

How to upgrade a Maya account

Upgrading is optional, free and quick to start.

1. In Profile, pick Upgrade Your Account.
2. From your National ID, enter your name and birth date so that every letter and digit matches.
3. Film the video selfie.
4. If prompted, supply a National ID number or other primary ID.
5. Look out for the SMS, which Maya promises within 24 hours of approval.

Accepted IDs include the National ID, ePhilID, UMID, Passport, PRC ID, Driver’s License and Postal ID issued from 2015 onwards, or two secondary IDs.

Where the money and the name meet

The Full Name given at sign-up has to agree with the receiving account, the lobby warns, or there is no withdrawal. Apply the same care to Maya: the wallet’s registered name and the casino account’s name should be one and the same.

The neighbouring pages go deeper. See the printed minimum deposit, the GCash limit table, GrabPay’s rule on gambling and bank transfer checks. The hub, all withdrawal and deposit topics, brings them together, the lobby’s login form guidance and register form guidance start the journey, and 76JL, a different business altogether, is where any Join 76JL button here will take you.
