JILICC and the PAGCOR Gaming Site: Check Any Licence Claim

The PAGCOR gaming site, pagcor.ph, is where the Philippine regulator publishes the lists a player needs to test a licence claim. A casino footer can say anything. A PAGCOR list is the record that either contains the address in your browser bar or does not.

This page shows you where the lists sit on pagcor.ph, how to read a row, and what to do when the row you expect is not there. It never tells you what any one casino’s status is, because you can read that for yourself in about two minutes. The same method works for JILICC’s lobby address, for the address a friend sent you, and for any ad that promises a licence.

What the PAGCOR gaming site publishes about licensed sites

PAGCOR’s Electronic Gaming Licensing Department page on pagcor.ph says the regulator issues licences to gaming operations within Philippine territory and covers bingo, e-bingo, electronic casino games, sports betting, specialty games, online poker and numeric games. Under it sit the lists that matter to you as a player. Each one is a PDF you can open and search.

The lists carry their own date in the heading. The two domain lists read on 2 October 2026 were dated 17 September 2026, and PAGCOR replaces them as entries change, so always read the date on the file you open.

How to check a licence claim, step by step

The check takes a phone, a PDF viewer and the address bar. Follow these steps in order and write down what you find.

1. Copy the exact address from the casino’s browser bar, including the ending, such as .com, .ph or .co.
2. Open pagcor.ph, go to Regulatory, then Electronic Gaming, and open the PDF of registered brands and domain names.
3. Use the viewer’s search box to look for the root word of the address, then read the full row around it.
4. Compare the main domain, sub-domain and additional URL columns with your address, character by character.
5. Note the administrator named in the row, because that company, not the brand, is the one PAGCOR accredited.
6. If there is no match, stop before you deposit and ask the casino for its administrator’s name.

An address that differs by one letter or one ending is a different address, which is exactly how look-alikes work. The page on typosquatting and look-alike casino addresses shows the common swaps so your eye catches them.

What a PAGCOR licence claim should and should not look like

A real claim is specific and can be looked up. A weak one is a logo and a sentence. Use the table to sort what you see on a footer.

PAGCOR’s own public warning, posted on 29 June 2026 on its home page, says illegal offshore gaming websites claim to be licensed or accredited by the agency while using the PAGCOR logo and fabricated licence certificates. That is why this page asks you to trust the list and not the logo.

Why an offshore or POGO claim no longer counts

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

So a footer that cites an offshore licence tells you what the claim is worth. Write down the wording, then run the address through the list in the steps above. Questions about that notice go to the e-mail address PAGCOR prints on the page, ogld@pagcor.ph.

Zone authorities are a separate case. A claim built on a zone licence rests on a different law and a different territory, which the page on what a CEZA licence covered lays out.

Other seals and regulators a footer may name

Casino footers often stack badges: a UK regulator, a testing lab, a zone authority. Each badge belongs to a different body with a different job, and none replaces the PAGCOR list for a site serving players in the Philippines.

1. A UK regulator badge points to a public register you can search, covered in how to check a UK Gambling Commission badge.
2. A testing-lab seal points to the lab’s own pages, explained in what an eCOGRA seal certifies.
3. A zone authority name points to a zone law, explained on the CEZA page above.
4. A PAGCOR logo points back to this page’s step list.

A badge is a claim until the body that owns it confirms it. Open the owner’s own site, never the link inside the badge, and search there.

Contacting PAGCOR and being ready for ID checks

When a row does not match or a casino stalls, go to PAGCOR directly. The page on which PAGCOR email address handles what lists the addresses PAGCOR itself prints, with the purpose of each. PAGCOR also prints trunkline numbers, +632 8521-1542 and +632 8522-0299, on its contact page.

Once a site passes your check and you register, expect an ID request before your first payout. What KYC means and why wallets and casinos ask for ID explains the documents involved, so you can send the right ones to the right place only.

Where JILICC fits into this check

This site is a player information site about the JILICC brand and states no licence for it. The JILICC lobby runs at www.jilicc.co, and jilicc.com forwards to it. To judge any brand, including this one, use the steps above on the exact address you play on, and read how to approach the question of whether JILICC is legit for the questions to put to the live chat.

Keep your play inside your limits and read the exclusion routes PAGCOR lists on responsible play and who may not gamble. Players must be 21 or older.
