If an online casino is based abroad, uses a foreign domain, or claims to be “licensed overseas,” you can still report it in the Philippines when it targets Filipino players, uses Philippine payment channels, advertises to people in the Philippines, displays a fake PAGCOR license, refuses withdrawals through deception, or has people, agents, offices, customer support, payment processors, or service providers operating in the Philippines. The right reporting path depends on what you are dealing with: an illegal offshore gaming operation, a scam site pretending to be a casino, a PAGCOR-licensed local online gaming platform with a complaint issue, or a possible POGO-related criminal operation.

The most important point: “outside the Philippines” does not always mean “outside Philippine action”

Many illegal online casinos try to look foreign so victims will think nothing can be done. They may use:

A foreign domain name, such as .com, .net, or country-specific domains
Telegram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp, or Viber agents
GCash, Maya, bank transfer, QR PH, crypto wallets, or “payment merchants”
Fake screenshots of winnings
Fake PAGCOR certificates or logos
Foreign-looking corporate names
Customer support that refuses withdrawals unless you pay “tax,” “verification,” “anti-money laundering fee,” or “unlocking fee”

Under current Philippine policy, offshore gaming is heavily restricted and POGO-type offshore operations have been banned. Executive Order No. 74, issued on November 5, 2024, ordered the immediate ban of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators, Internet Gaming Licensees, and other offshore gaming operations, with licensed offshore operations required to cease by December 31, 2024. (Supreme Court E-Library) Republic Act No. 12312, or the Anti-POGO Act of 2025, later declared offshore gaming operations in the Philippines unlawful and repealed Republic Act No. 11590, the former law that taxed Philippine offshore gaming operations. (Lawphil)

So if a site says, “We are a PAGCOR-licensed offshore casino,” treat that as a major red flag. PAGCOR itself warned in June 2025 that fake offshore gaming sites were using the PAGCOR logo and fabricated license certificates, and its Chairman stated that any entity claiming to operate under a PAGCOR license for offshore gaming is violating the law and should be reported immediately. (PAGCOR)

First, identify what kind of online casino you are reporting

Before filing a report, classify the situation. This helps you send the complaint to the right office and avoid delays.

Situation	What it usually means	Where to report first
The site claims to be a PAGCOR-licensed offshore casino or former POGO/IGL	Likely illegal after the offshore gaming ban	PAGCOR, NBI Cybercrime Division, PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, CICC
The site is not on PAGCOR’s official accredited online gaming list	It may be unauthorized, fake, or outside PAGCOR regulation	PAGCOR for verification; cybercrime authorities if there is fraud
The site accepts Filipino players but says it is licensed abroad	Philippine enforcement may depend on local links, payments, agents, victims, ads, or fraud	NBI/PNP cybercrime, CICC, payment provider, foreign regulator
The site refuses withdrawals and demands more deposits or “taxes”	Possible estafa, cyber fraud, or online scam	CICC 1326, NBI Cybercrime Division, PNP-ACG, bank/e-wallet provider
You know a physical office, condo, house, or BPO is operating the casino in the Philippines	Possible illegal offshore gaming hub, cybercrime, trafficking, labor, immigration, tax, or money laundering issue	PNP/NBI, PAOCC-related channels through law enforcement, LGU, PAGCOR
The site is actually listed on PAGCOR’s accredited online gaming list	It may be a regulatory complaint, not necessarily an illegal site	PAGCOR regulatory/customer complaint channels

PAGCOR maintains a page for PAGCOR-accredited online gaming sites, which is useful for checking whether a particular website appears on its official list. (PAGCOR) A site should not be trusted simply because it displays a PAGCOR logo, certificate, seal, or “license number.” Scammers can copy images from legitimate websites.

Legal basis for reporting an offshore or foreign online casino

1. PAGCOR’s authority and the offshore gaming ban

PAGCOR’s authority comes from its charter, Presidential Decree No. 1869, as amended by Republic Act No. 9487. Executive Order No. 74 recognizes PAGCOR’s authority to operate and license gambling casinos, gaming clubs, similar recreation or amusement places, and gaming pools within Philippine territorial jurisdiction, except games under other licensing authorities. (Supreme Court E-Library)

EO 74 also classified offshore gaming operators without the necessary license, permit, or authorization as illegal gambling entities and directed law enforcement agencies to intensify action against illegal POGOs, IGLs, and other offshore gaming operations. (Supreme Court E-Library)

RA 12312 strengthened this by banning and declaring unlawful offshore gaming operations in the Philippines. It prohibits, among others:

Establishing, operating, or conducting offshore gaming in the Philippines
Accepting bets for offshore gaming operations
Acting as a POGO gaming content provider or service provider
Creating or operating a POGO hub or site
Possessing or using POGO gaming equipment or paraphernalia in the Philippines
Aiding, protecting, or abetting prohibited offshore gaming activities (Lawphil)

RA 12312 also permanently revoked prior POGO-related licenses and removed the authority of PAGCOR, special economic zone authorities, tourism authorities, freeport authorities, and other agencies to issue offshore gaming licenses or permits. (Lawphil)

2. Illegal gambling laws

Presidential Decree No. 1602 penalizes illegal gambling activities in the Philippines. (Lawphil) Although many online casino complaints today are handled as cybercrime, fraud, or offshore gaming cases, PD 1602 remains relevant where the activity involves unauthorized gambling within Philippine jurisdiction.

Republic Act No. 9287 is more specific to illegal numbers games such as jueteng and similar number-based gambling schemes. (Lawphil) It may not be the main law for a casino-style offshore website, but it matters if the platform is actually running number games disguised as online betting.

3. Cybercrime, estafa, falsification, and fraud

Republic Act No. 10175, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, applies when the illegal casino activity involves computer systems, online fraud, phishing, identity theft, fake websites, unauthorized access, or other cyber-related offenses. (Lawphil)

If the site deceived you into depositing money, blocked withdrawals, or demanded fake “fees” before releasing winnings, the facts may also support estafa under Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code. If the operator uses fake PAGCOR certificates, fake permits, fake corporate papers, or forged documents, Article 172 on falsification by private individuals and use of falsified documents may become relevant. (Lawphil)

4. Money laundering and trafficking concerns

RA 12312 makes violations of the Anti-POGO Act an “unlawful activity” under Republic Act No. 9160, the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended. (Lawphil) This matters because illegal online casino proceeds often pass through banks, e-wallets, payment merchants, crypto wallets, shell companies, and money mules.

RA 12312 also treats recruitment, transport, harboring, or receipt of persons for offshore gaming employment, training, or apprenticeship as unlawful under the anti-trafficking framework, particularly where workers are brought into scam hubs or forced online gambling operations. (Lawphil)

Where to report an online casino operating outside the Philippines

PAGCOR

Report to PAGCOR when the issue involves:

A site claiming to be PAGCOR-licensed
A fake PAGCOR license, certificate, seal, or logo
A site pretending to be an accredited Philippine online gaming platform
A suspected illegal offshore gaming website
A website not appearing on PAGCOR’s accredited list
A complaint against a platform that appears to be PAGCOR-accredited

PAGCOR’s official contact page lists its corporate office in Pasay City, trunkline numbers, and regulatory department contacts, including the Electronic Gaming Licensing Department and Offshore Gaming Licensing Department. (PAGCOR) PAGCOR’s support page also lists its general inquiry email and trunkline. (support.pagcor.ph)

When emailing PAGCOR, use a clear subject line such as:

Report: Online Casino Claiming PAGCOR License / Suspected Illegal Offshore Gaming Site

Attach screenshots and include the exact website URL, app name, social media page, license claim, and payment details.

Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center hotline 1326

If you lost money, were scammed, or are dealing with online fraud, report through the government’s anti-scam reporting channel. The Philippine Information Agency reported that Hotline 1326 was launched as an official anti-scam reporting channel. (Philippine Information Agency)

Use this when:

You paid through GCash, Maya, bank transfer, QR code, crypto, or remittance
The site refuses withdrawals
The operator demands additional “taxes” or “verification fees”
You are still in contact with the scammer
You want quick guidance on where to route the report

For urgent financial scams, speed matters. The earlier you report, the better the chance that a bank, e-wallet, or payment provider can flag or freeze suspicious accounts before funds are moved.

NBI Cybercrime Division

The National Bureau of Investigation handles computer crime complaints through its Cybercrime Division. Its Citizen’s Charter states that the general public may avail of investigative assistance for victims of computer crimes, and the process includes filing a complaint sheet, preliminary interview, sworn statements or affidavits, and submission of supporting documents. (National Bureau of Investigation)

The NBI also states that you may seek NBI assistance when a crime has been committed, a crime is about to be committed, you possess information on violations of Philippine laws, or a matter requires further investigation beyond local law enforcement. Complaints may be filed in Manila, at regional or district offices, or through written communication if personal appearance is not possible. (National Bureau of Investigation)

Use NBI when:

You suffered actual financial loss
You can identify payment accounts, agents, phone numbers, wallets, or corporate names
The site used fake documents
There are multiple victims
The case involves organized fraud, hacking, identity theft, or cross-border elements
You need a formal complaint record for possible prosecution

PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group

The Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group is another law enforcement route for cybercrime complaints. It is commonly used for online scams, fake accounts, phishing, cyber-enabled fraud, and other internet-based crimes.

Use PNP-ACG when:

You need immediate police assistance
The suspect is still communicating with you
The operator has local agents, recruiters, or payment collectors
You know a physical location connected to the online casino
There are threats, coercion, extortion, or harassment

If the matter involves an actual location in the Philippines, such as a condominium unit, office floor, call center, dormitory, warehouse, or guarded compound, report the location details to law enforcement instead of only filing a website complaint.

Your bank, e-wallet, card issuer, crypto exchange, or remittance provider

This is not a substitute for a criminal report, but it is often the fastest practical step for money recovery or tracing.

Report immediately if you paid through:

GCash, Maya, ShopeePay, GrabPay, or another e-wallet
Bank transfer
Credit or debit card
QR PH merchant code
Over-the-counter remittance
Cryptocurrency exchange
Payment gateway or merchant account

Ask for:

Account flagging
Transaction dispute or chargeback, if available
Merchant investigation
Preservation of transaction records
Reference number for law enforcement

Do not describe the transaction as “casino payment” only. Explain the fraud clearly: fake license, refusal to withdraw, deception, false taxes, blocked account, or identity theft.

Foreign regulator, host country authority, app store, and platform

If the operator is truly abroad and has no visible Philippine office, agent, payment account, or local victim aside from you, Philippine agencies may have limited direct enforcement power. Still, the report is useful if Filipino players are targeted or Philippine payment systems are used.

Also report to:

The gambling regulator named on the website, if any
The regulator in the country where the company claims to be licensed
The domain registrar or hosting provider
Google Play or Apple App Store
Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, or other platforms used for ads and recruitment
The payment provider or crypto exchange used by the operator

Be careful: some “foreign regulators” displayed on scam sites are fake or cloned. Search for the regulator separately instead of clicking only the link provided by the casino.

Evidence to collect before you report

Good evidence is the difference between a vague complaint and an actionable report. Preserve the evidence before the website disappears.

Collect the following:

Exact website URL
- Copy the full link, including subdomains and referral codes.
- Example: https://examplecasino.com/ph/register?agent=123
Screenshots and screen recordings
- Homepage
- PAGCOR logo or license claim
- Terms and conditions
- Deposit page
- Withdrawal rejection
- Chat with customer support
- Agent conversations
- “Tax,” “unlocking fee,” or “verification fee” demands
Account information
- Your username or user ID
- Registered email or phone number
- Date you registered
- Date and time of deposits and withdrawal attempts
Payment trail
- Bank or e-wallet transaction receipts
- QR codes
- Account names and numbers
- Merchant names
- Reference numbers
- Crypto wallet addresses and transaction hashes
Operator details
- Company name shown on the site
- Claimed license number
- Claimed country of registration
- Customer support email, phone, Telegram handle, Facebook page, or WhatsApp number
- Names or aliases of agents
Victim impact
- Amount lost
- Whether personal documents were uploaded
- Whether your ID, selfie, bank details, or card details were submitted
- Whether threats, blackmail, or harassment occurred
Location clues
- Office address
- Condo/building name
- IP logs if available
- Job ads or recruitment posts
- Delivery addresses
- Names of local agents, recruiters, or payment collectors

Do not edit screenshots except to make copies for privacy. Keep original files, because metadata, timestamps, and file properties may matter later.

Step-by-step: how to report the illegal online casino

1. Stop depositing money and stop “verification” payments

If the casino says you must pay more to withdraw your winnings, that is a common scam pattern. Do not pay additional “tax,” “AML fee,” “release fee,” “VIP upgrade,” “account unlocking fee,” or “anti-fraud clearance.”

Legitimate taxes and regulatory fees are not normally collected by random casino agents through personal e-wallets.

2. Check PAGCOR’s official accredited list

Go to PAGCOR’s official list of accredited online gaming sites and check whether the exact domain appears. (PAGCOR) Do not rely on similar names. A legitimate-looking brand may have many fake clone domains.

Check carefully for:

Wrong spelling
Extra numbers
Different domain extension
Redirects to a different site
Fake mobile apps
Telegram-only registration
“PAGCOR certificate” that is only an image

If it is not listed, say this clearly in your report.

3. Send a verification and complaint report to PAGCOR

Your report should be direct and organized.

Include:

Your full name and contact details
Website/app name
Exact URL
Claimed license number or certificate
Screenshots of the PAGCOR logo or license claim
Summary of what happened
Payment receipts, if any
Whether the site targets Filipino players
Whether it uses Philippine banks, e-wallets, QR codes, or agents
Whether it appears connected to a physical place in the Philippines

Ask PAGCOR to verify whether the site is licensed, determine whether it is using fake PAGCOR materials, and refer the matter to proper enforcement agencies if illegal.

4. File a cybercrime or scam report

If money was lost or fraud occurred, report to CICC 1326, NBI Cybercrime Division, or PNP-ACG. If possible, prepare a short affidavit or written narrative.

A practical complaint narrative should answer:

Who contacted you?
What website or app was used?
When did you register?
What promises were made?
How much did you deposit?
Where did you send the money?
What happened when you tried to withdraw?
What additional demands were made?
What evidence do you have?
What relief or action are you asking authorities to take?

For NBI Cybercrime Division complaints, expect to fill out complaint forms, undergo an interview, and submit sworn statements or affidavits with supporting documents. The NBI Citizen’s Charter for computer crime assistance states that complainants may be assisted in filing a complaint sheet, interviewed, and asked to submit sworn statements or prepared affidavits and supporting documents. (National Bureau of Investigation)

5. Report the payment account immediately

Send a separate report to your bank, e-wallet, card issuer, remittance provider, or crypto exchange.

Attach:

Transaction receipt
Police/NBI/CICC reference number, if already available
Screenshots of the scam
Account name and number of the recipient
Merchant name or QR code
Wallet address or transaction hash

Ask them to preserve records. Even if they cannot reverse the transfer, their records can help investigators trace the flow of funds.

6. Report the app, social media pages, and ads

Illegal casino operations often rely on ads and agents more than the website itself. Report:

Facebook pages and groups
TikTok accounts
YouTube ads
Telegram channels
WhatsApp numbers
SMS sender IDs
Google Play or App Store listings
Influencer posts promoting the casino

Include the same evidence package. Platforms may remove the page, preserve logs, or require law enforcement process before releasing account information.

7. Follow up using reference numbers

Keep a simple case tracker:

Item	Details
PAGCOR report date
PAGCOR reference or email thread
CICC 1326 reference
NBI/PNP complaint reference
Bank/e-wallet dispute number
App store/platform report number
Name of officer or desk personnel
Next follow-up date

Do not rely only on phone calls. Keep written records.

Documents usually needed

Document or evidence	Why it matters
Valid government ID	Confirms complainant identity
Written narrative or complaint-affidavit	Organizes the facts for investigators
Screenshots of the website/app	Shows the platform, claims, and representations
Screenshots of fake PAGCOR license	Supports possible illegal gaming and falsification issues
Deposit receipts and reference numbers	Traces the money
Withdrawal rejection screenshots	Shows the dispute or deception
Chat logs with agents/customer support	Shows promises, demands, and identities
Bank/e-wallet statements	Supports financial tracing
URLs, app links, Telegram handles, social media pages	Helps locate the operation
Other victim statements	Shows pattern and scale
Foreign license or corporate claims	Helps report to foreign regulators

For NBI or prosecutor-level action, an affidavit may need to be notarized. If you are abroad, check the nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate for consular notarization of affidavits or jurats. Philippine consular posts commonly require personal appearance, valid ID or passport, and the unsigned document to be signed before the consular officer. (Philippine Embassy) If a foreign public or notarized document will be used in the Philippines, apostille or consular authentication may be needed depending on the country and document type. The DFA Apostille site provides requirements for documents used in the Philippines and abroad. (Apostille Pilipinas)

Practical timelines and fees

Step	Typical timing	Usual fee
PAGCOR email/report	Same day to several working days for acknowledgment, depending on queue and completeness	Usually none
CICC 1326 scam report	Immediate intake for hotline reports	None
Bank/e-wallet fraud report	Best done within minutes or hours	Usually none
NBI Cybercrime complaint intake	NBI Citizen’s Charter indicates around 1 hour and 10 minutes for initial intake steps, excluding later investigation	None for investigative assistance per NBI public guidance
PNP-ACG complaint	Same day intake if complete, investigation timeline varies	None
Prosecutor preliminary investigation	Often weeks to months depending on evidence, respondents, subpoenas, and docket load	Filing itself generally no filing fee for criminal complaint
Foreign regulator/platform report	Varies widely	Usually none

The biggest bottlenecks are incomplete screenshots, missing payment details, anonymous crypto wallets, fake identities, overseas hosting, and victims waiting too long before reporting.

Special situations

If the casino refuses to release your winnings

A refusal to pay winnings is not automatically a criminal case by itself. The key issue is whether there was deception, unauthorized gambling, fake licensing, or a scheme to extract more money from you.

Report as fraud if the operator:

Induced you to deposit through false claims
Claimed a fake PAGCOR license
Changed withdrawal rules after you won
Demanded more money to unlock the account
Asked for “tax” payable to a personal wallet
Blocked your account after payment
Used fake customer service identities

If the site says it is “licensed abroad”

A foreign license does not automatically make the site legal for Philippine-facing activity. Philippine authorities will look at local connection points, such as:

Filipino victims
Philippine ads
Philippine payment accounts
Filipino agents or influencers
Customer support based in the Philippines
Servers, offices, equipment, or staff in the Philippines
Use of PAGCOR name, logo, or certificates
Recruitment of workers in the Philippines

If there is truly no Philippine connection, report to the foreign regulator as well. But if Filipinos are being targeted or Philippine payment channels are used, still report locally.

If you are a Filipino abroad

You can still report if:

You were targeted as a Filipino
The site uses Philippine payment systems
The operator claims PAGCOR authority
Your family in the Philippines was affected
Filipino agents recruited or contacted you
The suspect or payment recipient is in the Philippines

Prepare digital evidence and a written narrative. If a sworn affidavit is required, use consular notarization or the authentication method accepted by the Philippine agency handling the case.

If you are a foreigner

Foreigners may report to Philippine authorities if they were victimized by an online casino connected to the Philippines. Bring or submit:

Passport or government ID
Proof of payment
Screenshots and communications
Any Philippine bank, e-wallet, company, agent, office, or address involved
Notarized or authenticated affidavit if you are filing from abroad

If you are outside the Philippines, also report to your home country’s police, financial fraud unit, gambling regulator, card issuer, bank, or crypto exchange.

If you suspect a POGO hub, scam farm, or trafficking operation

Treat this as more serious than a website complaint. Report details such as:

Building or subdivision name
Unit, floor, or office number
Guards, vans, shuttle routes, or dormitory details
Recruitment posts
Names of recruiters
Passports or workers allegedly being held
Threats, violence, or restricted movement
Photos, videos, or job ads

RA 12312 specifically covers POGO hubs, service providers, equipment, and aiding or abetting offshore gaming operations in the Philippines. (Lawphil) EO 74 also directed law enforcement agencies such as the PNP and NBI to intensify efforts against illegal POGOs, IGLs, and other offshore gaming operations. (Supreme Court E-Library)

Common mistakes that weaken reports

Mistake 1: Reporting only “I was scammed” without evidence

Authorities need details. Always include URL, screenshots, payment receipts, account names, transaction dates, and chat logs.

Mistake 2: Using FOI instead of complaint channels

Freedom of Information requests are for access to government records. They are not the best way to ask PAGCOR, NBI, or PNP to investigate an illegal casino. Use complaint, cybercrime, fraud, or regulatory reporting channels instead.

Mistake 3: Sending more money to “recover” winnings

Scam casinos often demand escalating fees. Paying more usually makes recovery harder.

Mistake 4: Trusting a PAGCOR logo

A logo is not proof. Check the exact domain on PAGCOR’s official accredited list and verify directly with PAGCOR.

Mistake 5: Deleting chats after reporting

Do not delete Telegram, Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp, SMS, or email threads. Take screenshots, export chats where possible, and preserve original messages.

Mistake 6: Publicly accusing named individuals without proof

Public posts can alert suspects and may create separate legal issues. Preserve evidence and report through proper channels.

Mistake 7: Waiting too long to report payment transactions

Money can move quickly through e-wallets, bank accounts, payment aggregators, and crypto wallets. Report financial transactions immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I report an online casino even if its website is hosted outside the Philippines?

Yes, especially if it targets Filipino players, uses Philippine payment channels, claims PAGCOR licensing, has local agents, or caused losses to people in the Philippines. Philippine authorities may have limits when everything is truly abroad, but local links can justify reporting to PAGCOR, NBI, PNP-ACG, CICC, and payment providers.

Is an online casino legal just because it has a PAGCOR logo?

No. PAGCOR has warned that fake offshore gaming websites use its logo and fabricated license certificates. (PAGCOR) Verify the exact website through PAGCOR’s official accredited online gaming sites page and, when in doubt, ask PAGCOR directly.

Are POGOs still legal in the Philippines?

No. EO 74 ordered the ban and cessation of POGO, IGL, and other offshore gaming operations by December 31, 2024. (Supreme Court E-Library) RA 12312, the Anti-POGO Act of 2025, later banned and declared offshore gaming operations in the Philippines unlawful. (Lawphil)

What if the casino says it is licensed in Curaçao, Malta, the UK, or another country?

A foreign license does not prove it may legally target Philippine players or use Philippine payment channels. Report to the named foreign regulator, but also report locally if there are Filipino victims, Philippine ads, local agents, Philippine wallets, or fake PAGCOR claims.

Can PAGCOR get my money back?

PAGCOR can verify licensing issues, regulate accredited entities, warn the public, and coordinate with enforcement agencies. Money recovery usually depends on the payment channel, speed of reporting, available evidence, and whether investigators can identify and freeze recipient accounts.

Should I report to NBI or PNP?

Either may be appropriate for cybercrime or fraud. The NBI Cybercrime Division is often used for formal investigation and evidence-heavy complaints. PNP-ACG is also appropriate for cybercrime, especially where immediate police action, local suspects, or a physical location may be involved. For urgent online scam intake, CICC 1326 is also a practical first step.

What if I only want to report the website and I am not a victim?

You can still report suspicious websites to PAGCOR if they claim PAGCOR licensing or appear to be illegal offshore gaming sites. You can also submit suspicious links, screenshots, and pages to scam-reporting channels, platforms, domain registrars, and app stores.

Can I be charged for playing on an illegal online casino?

Illegal gambling laws can cover participation in unauthorized gambling. In practice, enforcement usually focuses on operators, financiers, protectors, recruiters, service providers, and organized networks, but continuing to bet on a clearly illegal site is risky. Stop using the site and preserve evidence.

What if the online casino used my ID or selfie for verification?

Report immediately because your identity may be reused for fraud, e-wallet registration, SIM registration, account takeovers, or money mule schemes. Notify your bank, e-wallet provider, and telecom provider, and include the uploaded ID/selfie details in your cybercrime report.

What if the operator uses cryptocurrency?

Save the wallet address, transaction hash, exchange name, date, amount, blockchain network, and screenshots. Report to the crypto exchange if known. Crypto transactions are difficult to reverse, but wallet addresses and exchange accounts can still help investigators trace funds.

Key Takeaways

A foreign-looking online casino can still be reported in the Philippines if it targets Filipino players, uses Philippine payment channels, claims PAGCOR licensing, or has local agents or operations.
POGO, IGL, and offshore gaming operations in the Philippines have been banned, and RA 12312 now declares offshore gaming operations in the Philippines unlawful.
Verify the exact domain on PAGCOR’s official accredited online gaming sites list; do not rely on logos, certificates, or screenshots.
Report fake PAGCOR license claims and suspected illegal offshore gaming to PAGCOR.
Report scams, refused withdrawals, fake fees, phishing, and payment fraud to CICC 1326, NBI Cybercrime Division, PNP-ACG, and your payment provider.
Preserve evidence before the site, chats, ads, or payment accounts disappear.
If there is a physical office, condo, hub, recruiter, worker abuse, or trafficking angle in the Philippines, treat it as an urgent law enforcement matter, not just a website complaint.
