PAGCOR Online Casino List, Opened and Searched Row by Row

Where is the PAGCOR online casino list kept, and how do you prove a site is, or is not, on it? This report answers with a method anyone can repeat on a phone in a few minutes. The evidence is the regulator’s two PDF files, each titled ‘as of 29 October 2026’ in the copies read here; the result is a search routine and a plain reading of an empty search.

Where the PAGCOR online casino list lives

You reach both through one page: the cegs.php page in the Regulatory part of pagcor.ph, run by the licensing department that handles electronic gaming.

Each title carries its own “as of” date, and that date is part of the result: a search is true for that edition only. For a quicker cross-check, pagcorguarantee.ph shows authorised websites with filters by game type.

Search method, step by step

1. Copy the exact host from your browser bar, including any sub-domain.
2. In each PDF, use find-in-page three times: brand as one word, brand with a space, brand with a hyphen.
3. Search the root word, since sub-brands sit beside their main brand on the same row.
4. Search the host itself, without “www” or “https”.
5. For any hit, read the full row and look for your host in one of its three address columns.
6. Note the list date and the row number, so you can repeat the check on the next edition.

Worked example: one search, zero rows

PH444’s lobby was put through the routine. The search covered 211 strings: brand spellings, its merchant code ph444f3, every one of the 204 hosts in the lobby’s routing list and the hub hosts. Neither PAGCOR file returned a hit, and the digits “444” do not occur anywhere in either list.

What an empty search means

No row means the site is not on PAGCOR’s register as of that date. PAGCOR applies its exclusion programme across sites it licenses and operates, so the PAGCOR self exclusion route does not reach an unlisted lobby. A standing PAGCOR advisory adds that players, not only operators, can face penalties for taking part in unauthorized gaming. The age rule is separate and covers every platform; see the legal age for online betting rules.

Red flags around list look-ups

1. A screenshot of a certificate. Fake PAGCOR certificates come from sites the regulator has named in a public notice; only the PDF row counts.
2. A PAGCOR logo in a footer. In at least two public warnings, PAGCOR has flagged sites displaying its logo without authority.
3. A listed name on an unlisted host. The row’s domains decide, not the name.
4. An old edition. A saved copy from months ago proves nothing about today’s list.

Before filling in any register form at a lobby, finish the search above and note the row number you found. More reports in this set are on the casino blog index.
