Philippine gaming regulator PAGCOR has launched a new website that will allow the public to check the legitimacy of online gaming providers.
“PAGCOR Guarantee” was officially unveiled on Wednesday, aiming to provide a transparent and reliable reference for players and stakeholders amid the proliferation of fraudulent online gaming sites, the regulator stated in its announcement.
The site, located at www.pagcor.ph/pagcorguarantee, features a regularly updated list of licensed internet gaming platforms that come under PAGCOR’s oversight. Players can also directly enter licensed gaming sites through the page.
“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 explained that the new platform underscores PAGCOR’s intensified campaign to promote safe and responsible gaming.
“Illegal online gaming sites not only endanger players but also erode public trust and deprive the government of vital revenues,” he said. “The PAGCOR Guarantee is a key component of our regulatory framework to protect both the industry and the Filipino people.”
