What documents do I need for KYC verification on okolay?
okolay requires a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as a PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's license, SSS ID, UMID, or PRC ID — plus a recent selfie holding your ID. Proof of address may also be requested for certain verification tiers. KYC verification is required before your first withdrawal is processed, in line with PAGCOR AML requirements.

On the okolay login page, click "Forgot Password" and enter your registered email address or mobile number. You will receive a password reset link or OTP within a few minutes.

Can I have more than one okolay account?
No. okolay strictly allows one account per person, per device, and per household. Creating duplicate accounts is a violation of our Terms and Conditions and may result in the suspension of all associated accounts and the forfeiture of any balances or bonuses held. If you believe a duplicate account was created accidentally, contact support immediately at [email protected].
Deposits & Withdrawals
How do I deposit money into my okolay account using GCash?
Log in to your okolay account and go to the Cashier section. Select GCash as your payment method and enter the amount you wish to deposit. You will be redirected to the GCash payment gateway to authorise the transaction with your MPIN. Deposits via GCash are typically credited to your okolay balance within a few seconds to five minutes. The minimum GCash deposit is ₱100.
What is the minimum deposit amount on okolay?
The minimum deposit on okolay varies slightly by payment method. For GCash and PayMaya, the minimum is ₱100. For bank transfers via BPI, BDO, or Metrobank, the minimum is typically ₱500. These minimums ensure that transaction fees remain proportionate for all players, especially those making smaller top-ups.
How fast are GCash withdrawals from okolay?
GCash withdrawals from okolay are usually processed within 15 minutes to 2 hours after approval, provided your KYC verification is complete. Withdrawal requests submitted during business hours (8 AM to 10 PM Philippine time) are typically processed fastest. First-time withdrawals may take slightly longer as our team performs an additional security review on the account.
Are there any fees for deposits or withdrawals on okolay?
okolay does not charge processing fees for standard deposits or withdrawals. However, your bank or e-wallet provider (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank) may apply their own transaction charges depending on your account type and the amount transferred. We recommend checking your provider's fee schedule before initiating large transactions.
Can I withdraw to a different account from the one I deposited with?
No. For security and anti-money laundering compliance, okolay requires that withdrawals are returned to the same payment method used for the corresponding deposit. For example, if you deposited via GCash, your withdrawal must go back to your registered GCash number. This policy protects players against unauthorised withdrawals and complies with PAGCOR AML requirements.
What is the minimum withdrawal amount on okolay?
The minimum withdrawal amount on okolay is ₱500 for all supported payment methods, including GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank. There is no maximum withdrawal limit for fully verified accounts, though very large withdrawals may be processed in batches and are subject to additional security review in line with our AML policy.

Bonuses & Promotions
What is the welcome bonus on okolay and how does it work?
okolay offers a welcome bonus for new players on their first qualifying deposit. The bonus credits are added to your account automatically after the deposit is processed. To withdraw bonus-related winnings, you must meet the applicable wagering requirement — typically expressed as a multiple of the bonus amount (e.g., 20x). Full terms, including eligible games and expiry dates, are published on the Promotions page.
What does wagering requirement mean, and how do I clear it on okolay?
A wagering requirement means you need to place a total wager equal to a specified multiple of your bonus before withdrawing bonus-derived winnings. For example, a ₱500 bonus with a 20x requirement means you must wager ₱10,000 in total. On okolay, bets on most slots count 100% toward wagering, while live casino games may count at a lower rate. Check the specific promotion terms for exact contribution rates.
Do okolay bonuses expire?
Yes. All bonuses on okolay have an expiry period, which is stated in the individual promotion's terms and conditions. Typically, welcome bonuses must be claimed within 7 days of registration and wagering requirements must be completed within 30 days of the bonus being credited. Expired bonuses and any associated winnings are forfeited automatically. Always read the full bonus terms before opting in.
Can I withdraw my deposit bonus directly without wagering?
No. Bonus funds on okolay are subject to wagering requirements before they can be converted to withdrawable cash. However, your actual cash deposit — the real-money portion of your balance — is always available for withdrawal at any time, provided you have completed KYC verification and there are no active bonus lock-in conditions on the account. Bonus terms are clearly stated when each offer is claimed.
Does okolay have a loyalty or VIP rewards program?
Yes. okolay has a loyalty program that rewards active players with points earned from real-money wagers. Points can be exchanged for bonus credits, free spins, or other rewards depending on your current tier. Higher-tier VIP players receive additional benefits such as personal account managers, faster withdrawal processing, and exclusive promotions. Details are available in the Loyalty Program section of your account dashboard.
