In recent years, the number of PIGO licensed gambling platforms in the Philippines has increased, but some companies have been accused of conducting irregular operations under the cover of legal licenses, attracting regulatory and public attention. The industry faces challenges in technology evasion, marketing issues, and internal management, which may affect the development of legal gambling.
Regulatory Evasion and Operational Grey Areas
According to insiders, some PIGO companies use "technology switching" tactics to operate multiple unauthorized websites in actual operations to evade PAGCOR scrutiny. When inspections occur, the companies quickly switch to the licensed interface, creating a false compliance illusion and exposing regulatory blind spots.
Marketing and Consumer Rights Risks
Industry reports indicate that some companies are suspected of illegally bulk registering SIM cards for promotion and have encountered identity theft issues. Additionally, agency teams mislead low-income players under the guise of promotions, criticized for indirectly extracting money and damaging consumer trust and industry image.
Internal Management and Regulatory Outlook
Former employees have revealed that some PIGO companies have chaotic internal management, ineffective complaint mechanisms, no protection of employee rights, and even involve foreign personnel in operations illegally. The PIGO system was intended to promote legal gambling, but if regulatory loopholes are not addressed, it may become a tool for grey area profits. Currently, PAGCOR has not responded to rumors, and the media calls for strengthened inspections and data transparency.
