The video game industry, particularly e-sports, has been flourishing in the Philippines in recent years. Mobile gaming is also on the rise. According to data from Statista, the number of Filipino mobile gamers can reach up to 29.1 million in 2025.
These developments can be partially attributed to that change in perception about video games. They are no longer “geeky” or “nerdy,” but rather things that can be enjoyed by everyone. Video games have also been found to stimulate the brain, improve hand-eye coordination, and develop problem-solving skills.
Affordability and accessibility are also huge factors that led to the growth of the video game industry. For example, you no longer need an expensive PC set-up or console to be able to play high-quality games. Nowadays, you can already play top-tier games using mid-range and budget smartphones. There are also a lot of free games across various platforms, which means you can enjoy more content without spending a lot. Meanwhile, game publishers conduct occasional sales to entice gamers to buy more titles.
Gaming: More Fun and Convenient with Maya
Many popular video games nowadays, particularly those on mobile, are free to play. You simply download them and you can already enjoy most or all of the features. However, you’re going to need game credits if you want to access extra content, bonuses, and rare or powerful items. Then there are gaming distributors like Steam, where you can purchase a variety of games and play free titles as well.
Luckily for gamers, it’s easy to buy gaming pins from Maya. Simply open the app, tap the “Gaming” icon, and choose the game or game publisher you want to buy credits for. After that, wait for the gaming pin or code to be sent to your mobile number. The code/s can then be inputted when you play the game.
Easy, right? Besides the hassle-free process, here are a few more reasons why Maya is one of the most convenient ways to get your gaming pins:
Variety of Games
Compared to some apps that only have limited selections, Maya has a variety of games to choose from. For one, you can purchase credits for the wildly popular Mobile Legends. There are also available gaming pins for Dragon Nest, MU Origins, PUBG Mobile, Ragnarok Mobile, Rules of Survival, and War of Rings.
For even more choices, Maya also allows you to buy pins for Blizzard, Garena, PlayPark, Steam, and Razer. You can then use these credits to purchase and play games like Overwatch. For PlayPark pins, you can use them for all PlayPark titles such as Cabal, Flyff, and RF Online.
Affordable Denominations
When you buy gaming pins from Maya, you don’t have to purchase Php 100 worth of credits if you need only Php 50. In fact, depending on the game or publisher, you can purchase pins for as low as Php 20. This means that you have less risk of overspending or wasting your game credits. Most gaming pins don’t have expirations, but it’s also good to know that you can’t easily purchase gaming credits by “tingi” with Maya.
Easy to Top-Up
Some platforms require users to have credit cards before they are able to purchase gaming pins. This is not the case with Maya. All you need is your account with sufficient balance and you’re good to go.
Maya also has hundreds of Add Money partners in the country, so it’s easy to top-up from convenience stores, pawnshops, and other establishments. You can also link a bank account so it’s even easier to put funds in your account to buy game credits. This is definitely ideal, especially with the global crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Maya makes it easy for you to stay at home, buy gaming pins, and enjoy your favorite games so you can stay safe.
Secure System
Maya has a robust security system to ensure that your purchases are as secure as possible. Aside from one-time pins to confirm your purchases, Maya also sends text notifications after each completed transaction. You can also set a different password or PIN for your physical Maya card, which adds another layer of security.
Finally, Maya is regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. This means that, should something go wrong, you can approach the proper authorities to settle the matter.
Giftable Credits
Playing video games is much more fun when you’re playing with your friends. Good thing that Maya has the option to send the gaming pin as a gift! Just choose the gaming pin you want to buy, toggle the “Send as Gift” button, and input the mobile number of the recipient. You can even add an optional message to make it more personalized.
