When you upload, use your device camera or file browser to submit a clear photo or scan — both sides must be visible if applicable. Our verification team checks the document against our fraud-detection database and confirms your identity within one business day. You will receive an email confirming approval or asking for clarification. If your document is unclear or does not match your account information, we will request a new upload. Verification is required before you can withdraw funds.
If you forget your cahaya password, click Forgot Password on the login screen. Enter your email address and we will send a reset link within a few minutes. Click the link in the email to set a new password. The reset link expires after two hours for security. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder or contact our support team.

Payments and transactions
cahaya does not charge fees on deposits or withdrawals. When you deposit via mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, or direct bank transfer to online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, or local payment, your full amount reaches your account. When you request a withdrawal, we transfer your full balance back to your original payment method without deducting a fee. Some banks or payment providers may apply their own fees — these are separate from cahaya and depend on your bank's policy. Your bank or payment app will show any fee they charge before you confirm the transaction. Our withdrawal processing time is one to two business days after approval.
A withdrawal request on cahaya is reviewed within a few hours to one business day. Once approved, the transfer to your bank or payment app takes one to two business days depending on your bank. If you request a withdrawal during a public holiday — such as Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, or Imlek — processing may take longer because banks have reduced staff. You can check your withdrawal status in your account under Transaction History. If your withdrawal is delayed beyond two business days, contact our support team with your withdrawal ID and they will investigate. Bank delays are rare but can occur if your bank's system is slow to process incoming transfers.
Promotion codes on cahaya are entered during account setup or in your account settings. When you create a new account, there is an optional field for a promo code before you make your first deposit. If you have a code, enter it there. If you already have an account, go to your Account Settings and look for the Promotions section. Paste the code in the text box and click Apply. The promotion will activate immediately if the code is valid and the offer is available in your region. Some codes are region-specific or expire after a certain date. If a code does not work, contact our support team and they will verify whether it is active and applicable to your account.
Yes, you can change your payment method on cahaya at any time. When you deposit, you choose which payment method to use — online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, or a bank like mobile banking, local payment, online payment, or e-wallet. Each deposit transaction lets you pick a different method. We do not require you to register a single payment method; instead, you select one each time you deposit. For withdrawals, we always return your funds to the original payment method you used for your most recent deposit. If you want to withdraw to a different method, contact our support team and they can redirect your withdrawal to another account linked to you.
Game rules and features
Demo mode is available for select slot games and some live-dealer tables on cahaya. In demo mode, you play with virtual credits instead of real money — this lets you learn game rules without spending. To access demo mode, open the game you want to try and look for a Play for Free or Demo button. Your virtual balance resets each time you start a new demo session. Demo mode does not track real winnings or losses, so you cannot cash out demo credits. Demo mode is useful for learning how Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, or Mahjong Ways work before you deposit. Football markets and esports betting are not available in demo mode because they require real-time data. Once you are comfortable, you can switch to a real-money game by logging in with your account.

cahaya offers a range of live-dealer games with real dealers and multi-camera studios. Our live-dealer portfolio includes blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and Dragon Tiger. Each game is broadcast live from professional studios and allows you to interact with the dealer via live chat. Tables operate throughout the day and evening. You can join a table at any stake level — low limits for casual players and high limits for experienced ones. Live-dealer games on cahaya use the same account balance as your sportsbook and slots, so you can switch between football betting and a live blackjack table instantly. Table rules and odds are displayed before you join, and settlement is automatic after each hand.
cahaya offers betting markets on Mobile Legends, Free Fire, and PUBG Mobile esports tournaments. You can bet on match winners, map scores, and tournament outcomes. Esports markets operate year-round with regular tournaments and qualifiers. Odds are updated live during matches, and in-play betting allows you to place bets while a game is in progress. Esports bets settle immediately after the match or tournament concludes. These markets work the same as football betting — select your odds, enter your stake, and the bet appears in your slip. Esports is growing in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and cahaya continuously adds new tournaments and game titles.
