Account

Creating a cataya account is quick and straightforward. Head to the cataya website and click the Register button. You'll be asked to provide your full name, date of birth, email address, and a secure password. After submitting your details, you'll need to verify your identity using a valid Philippine government-issued ID — this can be your passport, UMID, SSS card, PhilHealth ID, or driver's license. Once your identity is confirmed, your account is active and ready to use. Remember, you must be at least 21 years old to register on cataya.

The minimum age to register and play on cataya is 21 years old. This is in line with Philippine regulations governing casino-style online gambling. Age verification is mandatory for all new accounts — cataya will ask you to submit a valid government-issued ID before you can deposit or play. If you are under 21, please do not attempt to register. Accounts found to belong to underage players will be immediately closed and any deposits returned.

Account verification on cataya involves submitting a clear photo or scan of a valid Philippine government-issued ID. Accepted documents include:
  • Philippine Passport
  • UMID (Unified Multi-Purpose ID)
  • SSS ID
  • Driver's License
  • PhilHealth ID
  • Voter's ID
You may also be asked to submit a selfie holding your ID for additional verification. The cataya team typically reviews verification submissions within 24 hours. You'll receive an email confirmation once your account is fully verified.

On the cataya Login page, click the "Forgot Password" link below the login form. Enter the email address associated with your cataya account and we'll send you a password reset link. Check your inbox — and your spam folder just in case. The reset link is valid for 30 minutes. If you don't receive the email within a few minutes, contact cataya's 24/7 support team via live chat for assistance.

No. cataya strictly allows only one account per person. Creating multiple accounts — whether using different email addresses, phone numbers, or payment methods — is a violation of cataya's Terms and Conditions. If duplicate accounts are detected, cataya reserves the right to close all associated accounts and forfeit any bonuses or winnings. If you're having trouble accessing your existing account, please contact our support team rather than creating a new one.

You can update certain account details — such as your contact number, address, and preferred language — through your cataya account settings. However, changes to your registered name or date of birth require identity re-verification and must be requested through our support team. This is to protect the security and integrity of your cataya account. Contact us via live chat or email at [email protected] to request a name or date-of-birth update.
Deposits

cataya supports a wide range of payment methods popular with Filipino players:
  • E-wallets: GCash, PayMaya
  • Online Banking: BPI, BDO, Metrobank
All deposits are processed in Philippine Peso (₱ PHP). cataya does not charge any fees for deposits, though your bank or e-wallet provider may apply their own transaction charges. Always check with your provider before depositing.

The minimum deposit on cataya varies by payment method. As a general guide, GCash and PayMaya deposits start from as low as ₱100, making cataya accessible to players across all budget levels — whether you're in Makati or Davao. Bank transfer minimums may be slightly higher depending on your bank's own transfer limits. Check the cataya cashier page for the most up-to-date minimum deposit amounts per method.

Most cataya deposits are credited instantly. GCash and PayMaya deposits typically reflect in your cataya balance within seconds of completing the transaction. Online banking transfers may take a few minutes to process depending on your bank's system. If your deposit has not appeared within 30 minutes, please contact cataya support with your transaction reference number and we'll investigate right away.

Yes — and cataya strongly encourages all players to use this feature. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits through your account's Responsible Gaming settings. Once your limit is reached, cataya will not allow further deposits until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. Increasing your limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to give you time to reconsider. This tool is free and available to all cataya players.
Withdrawals

To withdraw from cataya, log in to your account and navigate to the Cashier section. Select Withdraw, choose your preferred payment method, enter the amount you wish to withdraw, and confirm the request. Make sure your account is fully verified before requesting a withdrawal — unverified accounts cannot process withdrawals. Withdrawals are sent to the same payment method used for your most recent deposit where possible.

cataya processes withdrawal requests within 24 hours on business days. Once processed, the time for funds to reach you depends on your chosen method:
  • GCash / PayMaya: Usually within a few hours of processing
  • BPI / BDO / Metrobank: 1–3 business days depending on your bank
Withdrawal requests submitted on weekends or Philippine public holidays may take slightly longer to process. You'll receive an email notification when your withdrawal has been approved and sent.

Yes, cataya has a minimum withdrawal amount to ensure efficient processing. The minimum withdrawal is generally ₱200 for e-wallet methods like GCash and PayMaya. Bank transfer minimums may be higher. Please check the cataya cashier page for the current minimum and maximum withdrawal limits per payment method. There are no cataya-imposed withdrawal fees, though your bank or e-wallet provider may charge their own transfer fees.

There are a few common reasons a cataya withdrawal may be delayed:
  • Account not fully verified — Submit your ID documents to complete verification.
  • Active bonus wagering requirements — Bonuses must be fully wagered before withdrawal is permitted.
  • Security review — cataya may conduct additional checks on large or unusual withdrawal requests.
  • Incorrect payment details — Double-check that your GCash number or bank account details are correct.
If your withdrawal has been pending for more than 48 hours without explanation, please contact cataya support immediately with your withdrawal reference number.
Bonuses & Promotions

cataya offers a range of bonuses and promotions for both new and existing Filipino players. These include welcome bonuses for new registrations, deposit match bonuses, free spins on selected slot games, cashback offers, and seasonal promotions tied to Philippine holidays and events. All cataya bonuses are subject to terms and conditions including wagering requirements. Check the cataya promotions page regularly for the latest offers.

Wagering requirements (also called playthrough requirements) specify how many times you must wager your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings derived from it. For example, a ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement means you need to place a total of ₱10,000 in bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. Different games may contribute different percentages toward wagering requirements — slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute less. Always read the specific bonus terms on cataya before claiming any offer.

Yes. If you no longer wish to complete the wagering requirements on an active cataya bonus, you can forfeit it through your account settings or by contacting cataya support. Note that forfeiting a bonus will also remove any bonus-derived winnings from your balance. Only your real-money balance will remain. This is sometimes the right move if you need to make a withdrawal and don't want to wait to complete wagering requirements.
Games

cataya offers a diverse library of games designed for Filipino players, including:
  • Slots — A wide selection of video slots with various themes and jackpot sizes
  • Bingo — Classic and modern bingo variants popular across the Philippines
  • Queen of Bounty — A featured game with exciting bonus mechanics

Yes. All games on cataya use certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology to ensure that every outcome is completely random and independent of previous results. cataya's game providers are subject to regular audits by independent testing agencies to verify the fairness and integrity of their RNG systems. This means every spin, card draw, or bingo ball is genuinely random — no game on cataya is rigged or manipulated.

Absolutely. cataya is fully optimized for mobile play. You can access all cataya games directly through your smartphone or tablet browser — no app download required. The cataya mobile experience is designed to work smoothly on both Android and iOS devices, with touch-friendly controls and fast loading times even on standard Philippine mobile data connections. For the best experience, use a stable Wi-Fi or LTE connection.
Security

cataya uses industry-standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to protect all data transmitted between your device and our servers. Your personal information and financial details are stored securely and are never shared with unauthorized third parties. cataya's privacy practices are outlined in full in our Privacy Policy. We also employ fraud detection systems that monitor accounts for suspicious activity around the clock.

cataya strongly recommends enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account for an extra layer of security. To set it up, go to your account security settings and follow the instructions to link your mobile number or authenticator app. With 2FA enabled, you'll need to enter a one-time code in addition to your password every time you log in — making it much harder for unauthorized users to access your cataya account even if they know your password.

If you suspect that someone has accessed your cataya account without your permission, take these steps immediately:
  • Change your cataya password right away
  • Contact cataya's 24/7 support team via live chat to report the incident
  • Request a temporary account freeze while the issue is investigated
  • Review your recent transaction history for any unauthorized activity
cataya takes account security very seriously and will investigate all reported incidents promptly. Never share your cataya login credentials with anyone.
