The practical answer
Verify the exact operator domain through PAGCOR before opening its cashier. Use the official Maya app, confirm the merchant or recipient shown, read the total amount and keep the reference record. Do not transfer to a personal wallet supplied by a stranger or share passwords and one-time codes.
Verify the payment path
A legitimate-looking cashier can still be copied by a fraudulent site.
PAGCOR domain
Use PAGCOR Guarantee to confirm the exact domain rather than a similar spelling.
Official Maya app
Open Maya directly from your device, not through an unknown login link.
Merchant identity
Compare the recipient shown in Maya with the verified operator instruction.
Secure authorisation
Keep passwords, OTPs and device access private.
A Maya logo, QR image or wallet number is not a gaming licence.
Understand Maya account limits
Maya’s official account-limits page currently describes Basic, Upgraded, Super and Ultimate user levels.
Basic
The official page currently lists a ₱50,000 monthly account limit.
Upgraded
The official page currently lists a ₱100,000 monthly account limit.
Higher tiers
Maya lists higher limits for qualifying Super and Ultimate users; eligibility and live limits must be checked in the app.
Live source
Fees, limits and feature availability can change. Use the Maya app and official account-limits page for the current value.
Complete a documented payment
A reference record is essential when a balance update is delayed.
- 1
Open the cashier only from the PAGCOR-verified operator domain.
- 2
Select Maya and enter the intended amount once.
- 3
Confirm the recipient, merchant and total in the official Maya app.
- 4
Authorise without sharing credentials or screen control.
- 5
Save the reference number, timestamp and amount.
- 6
Check both Maya history and the operator balance before taking another action.
Do not use credit or borrowed money for gambling. A larger wallet limit is not a recommended gaming budget.
Respond to problems
A calm verification process is safer than sending a second payment.
Pending
Check the live transaction state and wait for the official status to update.
Failed
Confirm whether the balance was restored before trying again.
Completed
Use the reference number with official Maya and operator support.
Suspicious request
Stop if anyone requests an OTP, password, remote-access app or additional recovery fee.
