A PIGO license is what people search for when they want to know whether a Philippine casino brand is licensed, and the answer sits in PAGCOR’s own published pages. This page is the regulator layer of the casino affiliate layers explained, and it shows what pagcor.ph lists today and how to search it yourself. It states no licence for any brand.

Philippine Inland Gaming Operator: the term and PAGCOR’s pages

PIGO is the abbreviation searchers use for Philippine Inland Gaming Operator. The pages read on pagcor.ph on 2 October 2026 do not use that term or the word inland anywhere in their text. They use the categories in the table, each taken from a page or list on pagcor.ph.

Category on pagcor.phWhere it appears
Gaming Licenses for gaming venuesElectronic Gaming Licensing page
Gaming System AdministratorsAccredited lists, dated 17 September 2026
Licensed CasinosRegistered brands and domains list, dated 17 September 2026
Gaming AffiliatesAccredited list, dated 27 August 2026
Internet Gaming LicenseesRemote Operations notice, cancelled 15 December 2024

Read the table as PAGCOR’s vocabulary. If a site tells you it holds a PIGO licence, ask which of these categories it means and look for the name there.

What PAGCOR says it licenses today

The Electronic Gaming Licensing Department page opens with PAGCOR’s own description: PAGCOR regulates all games of chance and issues licenses to all gaming operations within the Philippine territory. Its Gaming Licenses cover seven game offerings.

Game offering named on the page
Traditional Bingo Games
Electronic Bingo (E-Bingo) Games
Electronic (eCasino) Games
Sports Betting
Specialty Games
Online Poker Games
Numeric Games

The page adds that a service provider’s electronic gaming platform and games must be offered at the gaming venue, with the remote or online operation as an adjunct service for its registered players.

What PAGCOR requires of offshore licences now

PAGCOR’s Remote Operations and Ancillary Services page carries a notice to the public. It states that, following Executive Order No. 74, all Internet Gaming Licensees and Authorized Providers were cancelled effective December 15, 2024. It also states that any company or gaming website claiming to hold a valid offshore gaming or internet gaming license from PAGCOR is fraudulent and unauthorized.

A site that cites an old offshore or internet gaming licence therefore points to a licence PAGCOR says was cancelled. The law side of gambling is separate, and the RA 9287 page reads that statute section by section.

How to check a brand and a domain on PAGCOR’s lists

Follow these steps on pagcor.ph, in this order.

  1. Open pagcor.ph, choose Regulatory, then Electronic Gaming Licensing.
  2. Open the List of PAGCOR-Accredited Gaming System Administrators and Registered Brands and Domain Names/URLs.
  3. Search the brand name against the Main Brand and Sub Brand columns; the header allows a maximum of 1 main brand and 6 sub brands.
  4. Search the exact domain against the Main Domain, Sub-Domain and Additional URL columns.
  5. Open the List of Registered Brands and Domain Names/URLs of Licensed Casinos and repeat steps 3 and 4.
  6. Write down the list’s date, the entry number and the listed company before you rely on it.

A listing covers the brand and the domains printed beside it and nothing else. A domain that is not printed on the list is not covered by it.

Which PAGCOR list answers which question

Each list answers one question, so pick the one that fits.

The last row is content approval: it tells you the game is approved for use by PAGCOR-licensed operators, and it says nothing about the studio holding an operator licence. For the delivery layer behind these lists, read the game aggregator page. To apply the same steps to this site’s own brand, use the legit check walk-through.

FAQ

Where do I check a brand against PAGCOR's lists?

Open the Electronic Gaming Licensing page on pagcor.ph under Regulatory. It links the lists of accredited gaming system administrators with registered brands and domain names, and the list of registered brands and domain names of licensed casinos.

Does PAGCOR still issue offshore or internet gaming licences?

PAGCOR's Remote Operations notice states that all Internet Gaming Licensees and Authorized Providers were cancelled effective 15 December 2024, and that any site claiming a valid offshore or internet gaming licence from PAGCOR is fraudulent and unauthorized.

What does a PAGCOR-approved game list prove?

It shows that titles from a studio are approved electronic games. It is content approval and not an operator licence held by the studio.

Paano kung wala sa listahan ang domain na tinitingnan ko?

Huwag magdeposito. Tingnan muna ang eksaktong domain, kasama ang sub-domain at additional URL, sa mga listahan ng PAGCOR, at magtanong sa customer service ng brand.
