The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has launched its new “PAGCOR Guarantee” website, aimed at combating illegal online gaming and enhancing player protection.
The platform allows the public to verify the legitimacy of online gaming providers amid a surge of fraudulent sites.
PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco announced the initiative, highlighting its importance for players and stakeholders. “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”, he stated in an announcement.
The PAGCOR Guarantee site offers a regularly updated list of licensed internet gaming platforms overseen by PAGCOR. It also enables players to access these gaming sites directly from the page.
Tengco emphasized that the new platform is part of PAGCOR’s intensified campaign to promote safe and responsible gaming. He urged the public to verify the legitimacy of any gaming platforms they use, especially given the rising number of complaints regarding sites that fail to pay out winnings.
“Illegal online gaming sites not only endanger players but also erode public trust and deprive the government of vital revenues”, Tengco remarked. “The PAGCOR Guarantee is a key component of our regulatory framework to protect both the industry and the Filipino people.”
