Thanks to digital wallets like Maya, joining casino tournaments has never been easier, safer, or more convenient.
Here’s a complete guide on how Filipino players can register, fund their accounts, and start competing — all while using Maya as their trusted payment partner.
1. Understand What Casino Tournaments Are
Casino tournaments are competitive events where players compete against each other, rather than against the house. These tournaments can be:
- Slot tournaments – Players spin slots within a set time or credit limit, aiming for the highest score.
- Poker tournaments – Participants play structured rounds, progressing toward a final table.
- Blackjack or baccarat tournaments – Players aim for the best hand or score after a fixed number of rounds.
Prizes often include cash rewards, free credits, or exclusive event invitations.
2. Choose a Licensed Casino Platform
Before joining, ensure the casino you choose is licensed and regulated. Look for sites approved by reputable authorities such as the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) or other international regulators.
Popular platforms offering tournament play to Filipinos include:
- Reputable PAGCOR-licensed online casinos
- International platforms that accept Philippine players and Maya as a payment option
Always verify the site’s credentials, read user reviews, and check if it offers responsible gaming tools before signing up.
3. Create Your Casino Account
Once you’ve chosen a platform:
- Visit the official website or download the app.
- Click Register or Sign Up.

- Verify your account via email or SMS.
Make sure all information matches your Maya account to avoid payment issues later.
