The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation raided an illegal online raffle site hosted by Facebook. This led to the arrest of 16 individuals by members of the Philippine National Police-Anti-Cybercrime Group on Wednesday, May 1.
“We have been receiving reports of illegal online activities including those in social media platforms. As the country’s gaming regulator, it is our duty to protect the public—especially the youth—from these illegal online gambling sites,” Tengco said. “They have amassed over Php8 million from the time they started this illegal online operation because in one draw, they can sell as many as 50 tickets,” added Villanueva, also the head of the PAGCOR Security Group.
“Register your online gaming operations with PAGCOR instead. There will be consequences if you continue to operate illegally because PAGCOR is constantly in touch with law enforcement agencies to ensure that these activities do not proliferate,” Villanueva underscored.
