The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) launched its “PAGCOR Guarantee” website on June 18 to combat illegal online games and enhance player protection. The platform allows the public to verify the legitimacy of online gaming providers amid growing fraudulent sites.
“This new website will help our players easily identify and verify whether the online gaming sites are duly licensed before playing or making any payments,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
“By providing the public with a quick and accessible way to check a site’s legitimacy, we are empowering them to make informed decisions and avoid falling victim to fraudsters and scammers,” Tengco added.
The PAGCOR Guarantee site (www.pagcor.ph/pagcorguarantee) features a regularly updated list of licensed internet gaming platforms under PAGCOR’s oversight. Players can directly access verified gaming sites through the page.
Tengco emphasized the platform supports PAGCOR’s intensified campaign for safe and responsible gaming. He urged the public to verify gaming platforms’ legitimacy before engaging in online gaming activities, citing increasing complaints against sites that refuse to pay player winnings.
“Illegal online gaming sites not only endanger players but also erode public trust and deprive the government of vital revenues,” the PAGCOR chief said. “The PAGCOR Guarantee is a key component of our regulatory framework to protect both the industry and the Filipino people.”
The initiative provides a transparent, reliable reference for players and stakeholders navigating the online gaming landscape.
