Open PAGCOR's official verification source independently and compare the exact hostname character by character. A copied logo, a certificate image or a familiar brand name does not prove that the domain in your address bar is registered.
Follow the decision, not the animation
Copy only the hostname
From the address bar, copy the domain without the page path or referral code. Check spelling, hyphens, subdomains and the ending such as .com or .ph.
Open PAGCOR independently
Type pagcorguarantee.ph or pagcor.ph yourself instead of following a banner, chat message or search advertisement. Search the current official list for the exact domain.
Match the destination after redirects
If an official link opens a different hostname, record the full redirect destination and check it again. Stop if the name changes unexpectedly or the browser shows a certificate warning.
Confirm the legal identity
Compare the operator name with the site's terms, privacy notice, 21+ controls and support details. A partial brand match is not the same as an exact domain match.
Before money or identity moves
- ✓Exact hostname appears in a current official record
- ✓Redirect destination remains consistent
- ✓Operator identity matches the legal pages
- ✓21+ and responsible-play information is visible
- ✓No copied logo or certificate is treated as proof
Frequently asked questions
Is a PAGCOR logo proof that a gaming website is licensed?+
No. PAGCOR has warned that unauthorized sites can copy its logo and display fabricated certificates. Verify the exact domain through an official PAGCOR source.
What if the brand name appears but the domain is different?+
Treat the site as unverified. Match the complete hostname, not only the brand name, and check every destination in a redirect chain.
Does LaroScope certify or license gaming websites?+
No. LaroScope is an independent guide and cannot grant, confirm or replace a regulator's current authorization record.
Where to verify current information
Game rules, payment processes and Philippine regulatory information can change. Check the exact game information panel, your wallet's official help centre and current PAGCOR pages before acting.
