The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has issued a warning about illegal offshore gaming websites that falsely claim to be licensed or accredited by the agency. These fraudulent sites are using the PAGCOR logo and displaying fake license certificates to mislead the public.
Among the identified fake websites are efesbetcasino514.com, OG7777 online gaming (og7777.org), Mpo500.com, QQ88.com, mpo2121.com, Lgolive.com, napolibet.com, KRATOSBET LTD (kratosbet.com), mpossport.com, and https://efsanebahis434.com. Another fraudulent site, https://cazeus2.com/en/responsible-gaming, has been found operating from the United Kingdom.
“These platforms are not authorized to operate under any PAGCOR-issued license. We want to make it very clear that the use of PAGCOR’s name and logo by these sites is a blatant disrespect to the agency and poses a threat to the public,” said PAGCOR Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer Alejandro Tengco. He urged the public to remain vigilant and verify the legitimacy of any gaming site before engaging with it.
Tengco also reiterated that all Philippine offshore gaming operations (POGOs) will be banned effective December 31, 2024, as directed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. He emphasized that any previous POGO licensees and service providers who continue to operate are doing so illegally. “Any entity claiming to operate under a PAGCOR license for offshore gaming is clearly violating the law and should be reported immediately,” he added.
To verify licensed gaming operators and stay informed about legitimate gaming activities, the public is encouraged to visit PAGCOR’s official website at http://www.pagcor.ph.
