Maya states these as MONTHLY wallet limits. According to GCash’s own wording, the ceiling means a balance held at any one time. Each of the two numbers tracks something distinct, which is why a side-by-side comparison of them carries no real meaning, however routinely it gets made.

How fast money actually moves
Maya settles instantly for wallet-to-wallet or InstaPay transfers, with PESONet clearing by the same banking day. That’s a fact about the rail, not the casino — an operator’s own pre-release review can delay a withdrawal before Maya sees it, and that review is typically what causes the wait.
A per-transaction cap of PHP 20,000 per transaction for sends to another Maya user, PHP 50,000 per day for outgoing InstaPay transfers — limits that apply at the Upgraded tier applies, which is why a larger transfer sometimes has to be split.
Verification tiers
- Basic — PHP 50,000 is the figure attached to both limits here: the wallet’s monthly ceiling and the daily purchase ceiling. This tier rules out InstaPay bank transfers and sending funds to other Maya users alike
- Upgraded — Providing a video selfie alongside valid ID and a verified address is what’s required. Sending to a Maya user is capped at PHP 20,000 per transaction and PHP 100,000 daily, the wallet holds PHP 100,000 monthly, purchases run to PHP 100,000 a day, and InstaPay out tops out at PHP 50,000 daily and PHP 100,000 monthly
- Super Users — Daily purchase and send limits reach PHP 500,000 apiece, alongside a monthly wallet limit that’s also PHP 500,000. What an account needs to reach this tier isn’t published anywhere by Maya
- Ultimate Users — A monthly wallet ceiling of PHP 5,000,000 comes with daily purchase and send limits also set at PHP 5,000,000. What an account needs to reach this tier isn’t published anywhere by Maya
The published ceiling of From a PHP 50,000 monthly limit at Basic, the ceiling rises through PHP 100,000 at Upgraded and PHP 500,000 for Super Users to PHP 5,000,000 for Ultimate Users applies to the tier stated above, not to every account.
What Maya says about gambling transactions
Checked directly, Maya’s e-wallet terms and conditions carry no gambling-specific clause, only broad prohibitions against illegal activity and anti-money-laundering violations. A separate CREDIT CARD product carries its own terms, where ‘illegal gambling or unauthorized game of chance’ is explicitly called out as a transaction that’s restricted, warning that suspension or cancellation of the card can follow. Maya’s compliance with BSP Memorandum M-2025-029 in August 2025 meant taking down in-app gambling and gaming links. Treating the two products as separate matters, because nothing a credit card agreement restricts applies to the wallet.
