Published feesMaya’s cash-in page puts the free threshold for selected-partner cash-in at PHP 8,000 per month combined, charging 2 per cent on anything above it. The GCash schedule above was read directly and carries more weight than this figure, which comes from Maya’s own site and never got re-fetched during verification.

Maya states these as MONTHLY wallet limits. The ceiling GCash states applies to the balance held at any single point in time. These two numbers track different things entirely, so lining them up side by side tells you little, however common that comparison might be.

A snapshot recorded 2026-09 is shown here. Payment providers don’t announce changes to limits and fees, which is why the provider’s own page is the only current source.

What Maya says about gambling transactions

Having reviewed Maya’s e-wallet terms and conditions directly, there’s no clause on gambling, only general prohibitions against illegal activity and anti-money-laundering breaches. The stated consequence of ‘illegal gambling or unauthorized game of chance,’ listed as a restricted transaction in its separate CREDIT CARD terms, is suspension or cancellation of the card. Maya likewise complied with BSP Memorandum M-2025-029 from August 2025 by taking out its in-app gambling and gaming links. These two products aren’t the same, and that distinction matters: what a credit card agreement restricts says nothing about the wallet.

How fast money actually moves

Maya settles in real time when using InstaPay or wallet-to-wallet, but only by the same banking day for PESONet. The rail is what that describes, not the casino: an operator’s own review can hold a withdrawal before it reaches Maya, and waiting time usually comes from that review.
