The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) has recommended that the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) file charges against social media personality Jam Magno for allegedly promoting illegal online gambling sites. According to the CICC, the finding was the result of an almost month-long investigation following hundreds of complaints against influencers allegedly endorsing unlicensed and unregulated online gambling platforms in the country. The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center has submitted 15 social media personalities to the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group for possible case build-up after observing their alleged continued promotion of unlicensed online gambling websites. Authorities emphasized that charges, if filed, may fall under the Cybercrime Prevention Act, the Revised Penal Code’s provisions on estafa, and the law prescribing stricter penalties for illegal gambling.

The CICC added that this shift from detection to active enforcement is part of a coordinated effort with PAGCOR, PCSO, and the PNP to curb unlicensed online gambling operations. Online gambling in the Philippines is regulated by the government agency PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation).
