Inside MayaGame: How to Legally Play Sabong Online in the Philippines

What is MayaGame’s Sabong?

MayaGame offers live-streamed sabong—a digital version of traditional Filipino cockfighting. It’s regulated (under PAGCOR for Philippine users) and lets you watch real matches in real time, then place bets or simply enjoy the spectacle.

⚙️ Step-by-Step: How to Play

1. Sign Up & Deposit

• Register on the MayaGame/PlayMAYA app using your details (must be 18+).
  
  
• Fund your account via Maya, GCash, bank transfer, or even crypto, depending on availability.
  
  

2. Browse Upcoming Matches

You can view scheduled sabong bouts. Each fight shows two roosters:

• Meron (the favorite)
  
  
• Wala (the underdog)
  Some platforms also offer Draw bets

3. Understand the Odds

Odds fluctuate based on total bets:

• A high bet amount on Meron = lower payout but more likely win.
  
  
• Wala pays more if fewer people bet on it.
  
  
• Draw odds are usually fixed (e.g., 8:1) 

4. Place Your Bets

• Choose between Meron, Wala, or Draw.
  
  
• Enter a stake amount (e.g., PHP 100). Minimum/maximum limits vary by match.
  
  
• Once betting closes, your bet is locked in.
  
  

5. Watch the Live Fight

• High-quality video streaming lets you follow the action.
  
  
• The match has stages:
  
  
  • Ulatan: Roosters are inspected.
    
    
  • Ruweda: Final lining up.
    
    
  • Carreo: The fight – roosters aim to deliver two pecks to win. Fights last up to 10 minutes.

6. Results & Payouts

• If your chosen rooster wins, your account is credited.
  -　If it’s a Draw (neither pecks twice or time expires), navigates based on platform rules—usually pushes back your stake.
• Bets are refunded if match is disrupted (e.g., camera cuts out).
  
  

7. Withdraw Winnings

• Use MayaGame’s withdrawal system (via Maya/GCash) to transfer funds from your betting wallet to your personal account.
  
  

📌 Example

1. Match: Meron = 70% bets, Wala = 30%; odds: Meron @1.4×, Wala @2.8×, Draw @8×.
   
   
2. You bet PHP 500 on Wala.
   
   
3. If Wala wins, you get PHP 500 × 2.8 = PHP 1,400 back (profit = PHP 900).
