Following the order of President Rodrigo Duterte, the state-run gambling regulator Pagcor has stopped e-sabong, or online cockfighting, nationwide. | bendeveraINQ /PDI
Citing Pagcor’s estimates, Domingo said this immediate halt in e-sabong games would result in revenue losses amounting to P4 billion to P5 billion this year.
Last year, Pagcor collected P3.7 billion from e-sabong. While such games started with only one licensed operator when Pagcor started regulating it in early 2021, the number of legal e-sabong operators jumped to eight by the end of 2021, Domingo earlier said. As such, Domingo had said that Pagcor wanted a separate, dedicated regulator for all cockfighting games, including e-sabong, to better monitor them.
