Small-time gambling pastime from the small streets called Ending has now gone to the online sites and is now proliferating Facebook groups, according to sources and our own investigations. (On a related note, you can now also send money via Facebook Messenger.) Ending games, though, fall as a violation under Section 2-a of Republic Act 9287 or the Anti-Illegal Gambling Law, which states any form illegal gambling activity which uses numbers or combinations thereof as factors in giving out jackpots. 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. Online gambling in the Philippines is regulated by the government agency PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation). Today, only PAGCOR-licensed online gambling sites may legally operate in the Philippines. In short, legal online gambling exists under strict rules, while illegal sites are aggressively targeted. In the Philippines it is not illegal to advertise a licensed gambling platform.
