Account & Registration
How do I create an smtaya account?
Creating your smtaya account takes just minutes. Visit our homepage or click "smtaya Login" and select "Register." Fill in your mobile number, email, preferred username, and password. You must be at least 21 years old to register. After registration, verify your mobile number via SMS code. For full withdrawal access, complete identity verification by uploading a government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, or national ID) and a selfie.
What documents do I need for KYC verification at smtaya?
smtaya requires one government-issued photo ID for KYC verification. Accepted documents include Philippine driver's license, Philippine passport, UMID, SSS ID, postal ID, or Philippine national ID. The document must be valid (not expired), clearly show your photo, full name, date of birth, and ID number. You'll also need a clear selfie holding the ID. Verification typically completes within 24 hours.
Why can't I log in to my smtaya account?
Common login issues include incorrect username or password (check caps lock and spelling), unverified mobile number, account temporarily locked after multiple failed attempts, or self-exclusion activation. If you forgot your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page to reset via SMS or email. If issues persist after password reset, contact our 24/7 customer support via live chat for immediate assistance.
Can I have multiple smtaya accounts?
No, smtaya strictly prohibits multiple accounts per person. Creating duplicate accounts violates our Terms & Conditions and PAGCOR regulations. Each player is allowed only one account per name, address, mobile number, and payment method. Multiple accounts may result in account suspension, bonus forfeiture, and withdrawal restrictions. If you accidentally created a second account, contact support immediately to resolve before attempting deposits.
How do I close my smtaya account permanently?
To permanently close your smtaya account, log in and visit Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Account Closure, or contact our support team via live chat or email. Before closure, withdraw any remaining balance. Account closure is irreversible and you will not be able to reopen the same account. If you need a temporary break, consider self-exclusion instead, which allows you to choose the duration (24 hours to permanent).

The minimum deposit on smtaya is PHP 100 for most payment methods including GCash, PayMaya, and online banking.

How fast is GCash withdrawal on smtaya?

First-time withdrawals may take slightly longer for security verification.

Withdrawal limits also depend on your payment method. GCash has a PHP 50,000 daily limit, while bank transfers can accommodate larger amounts. Contact VIP support if you need to arrange a larger withdrawal.
Why is my smtaya withdrawal delayed?
