JILICC DS88 Sabong: The Lane Name and the Law Behind It
DS88 Sabong is the name the JILICC lobby's footer Agent Joining page uses for its SABONG lane, which lists the codes DS88, R88 and 1BET.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| JILICC E-Sabong Law | E-sabong is governed by Executive Order No. 9, signed 28 December 2022, which continues its nationwide suspension, and by Presidential Decree No. 449, which governs licensed cockpits. |
| JILICC and the Missing Sabungeros Case | The missing sabungeros case is the set of disappearances of cockfight enthusiasts in 2021 and 2022 that the Senate investigated. |
| JILICC Sabong Bet Terms | At a licensed cockpit a bet taker calls and takes the bets, the referee announces the result, and the bet taker pays the winners after deducting a commission. |
| JILICC Tari Explained | The tari is the gaff or blade tied to a fighting cock's leg in Philippine sabong. |
Betting on sabong online is suspended across the Philippines: Executive Order No. 9, signed by President Marcos on 28 December 2022, ordered e-sabong halted nationwide.
DS88 Sabong is a name that appears on a casino lobby, and the name changes nothing about that suspension. The order leaves traditional cockfights in licensed cockpits under Presidential Decree No. 449 alone; the licensed cockpit rules set those out.
What DS88 Sabong is
On 2 October 2026 the lobby at www.jilicc.co listed a SABONG item in its menu, next to FISHER GAME, LIVE GAME, BINGO GAME, SLOT GAME, SPORT and OTHER GAME. The Sabong lane lists three codes, DS88, R88 and 1BET, and the footer’s Agent Joining page uses the name “DS88 Sabong”. This page describes the name only; it does not describe how to open, fund or use that lane, and it does not recommend the menu item.

What DS88 means in the lobby
DS88 is one of the three codes the lobby lists under its SABONG lane, with R88 and 1BET.
| Lobby item | What it shows |
|---|---|
| SABONG lane | Three codes: DS88, R88, 1BET |
| Footer Agent Joining page | The name “DS88 Sabong” |
So “DS88 Sabong” pairs the first of those codes with cockfighting. A code on a menu is not a licence and not a legal status; whatever it labels, the law on the lane is the one below.
What Philippine law says
Section 1 of Executive Order No. 9 continues the nationwide suspension of all e-sabong operations. It names two suspended activities:
- Live-streaming or broadcasting live cockfights outside cockpits or cockfighting arenas.
- Online, remote or off-cockpit betting on live cockfighting matches, “regardless of the location of the betting platform”.
The order says traditional cockfights licensed under existing laws are not covered. The e-sabong law table lists every instrument, and the missing sabungeros case is the background to the halt.
Red flags to watch for
These claims on a site, in an agent’s message or on a social post should stop you:
- “Online sabong is legal again.” Executive Order No. 9 says the opposite, and only a later order could change it.
- “PAGCOR-approved sabong.” The order recites PAGCOR’s earlier e-sabong framework and suspends all e-sabong anyway.
- An agent offering to place sabong bets for you off the lobby.
- A request to send money by chat before a sabong lane will work.
- A link that opens a different domain from the one you typed.
What you can check yourself
Read the order at lawphil.net or the Official Gazette.
Search the Official Gazette for any later executive order on e-sabong before you believe a claim that the suspension ended. For any licence claim, open PAGCOR’s own published lists and look for the entity and domain.
If sabong has become a problem for you, the responsible play tools on this site list limits and support.
