PAGCOR e-games is the name players use for electronic games licensed by the Philippine regulator, and within the wider PAGCOR online rules it points to one department on pagcor.ph. That department publishes its own scope and its own list, so you do not need a casino’s word for what is approved. The table below sorts the offerings, and the sections after it show where to read each answer yourself.
Types of PAGCOR e-games and their licences
PAGCOR’s Electronic Gaming Licensing Department issues a gaming licence for each game offering it regulates. The wording below follows the department’s page, with plain-word meanings added in the last column.
| Offering | Written on PAGCOR’s page as | Plain meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Hall bingo | Traditional Bingo Games | Paper-style bingo at a venue |
| Screen bingo | Electronic Bingo (E-Bingo) Games | Bingo on an electronic system |
| Casino-style games | Electronic (eCasino) Games | Electronic slots and table games |
| Betting | Sports Betting | Wagers on sports results |
| Other categories | Specialty Games | Games approved as a special class |
| Poker | Online Poker Games | Poker through a licensed platform |
| Draw games | Numeric Games | Number-based draw games |
The page also allows for future offerings, so the list can grow. Read the current wording on the department’s page rather than relying on this table.
How an e-game reaches the online lobby
PAGCOR describes a chain of approvals, and the online side sits at the end of it. A numbered view makes the order clear.
- A service provider applies for accreditation with the Electronic Gaming Licensing Department.
- The department evaluates and approves or denies the provider’s electronic gaming platform, together with the games it plans to offer.
- A gaming venue is established and operated by a licensed operator.
- The department issues a gaming licence for each offering at that venue.
- The venue’s remote or online operation runs as an adjunct service for its registered players.
That last step is why PAGCOR describes online play as attached to a venue and not as a stand-alone permit.
Where to read the approved electronic games
PAGCOR links a document titled List of EGLD-Approved Electronic Games from its Electronic Gaming Licensing page. Follow these steps to reach it.
- Open pagcor.ph/regulatory/cegs.php.
- Scroll to the heading List of EGLD-Approved Electronic Games.
- Open the list and search it for the exact game title.
- Note the studio or provider shown beside the entry.
If a title is missing, ask PAGCOR through the trunklines on any PAGCOR page, +632 8521-1542 or +632 8522-0299.
PAGCOR e-games compared with other PAGCOR departments
PAGCOR’s regulatory site names several departments, and an e-game question is easy to send to the wrong one.
| Department | Handles | Where players meet it |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic Gaming Licensing Dept. | Local electronic gaming and online platforms of licensed venues | Approved electronic games list |
| Licensed Casinos pages | Land-based casino operations, which EGLD’s own page leaves out of its remit | Casino regulatory manuals |
| Remote Operations and Ancillary Services Dept. | Remote operations; notice that Internet Gaming Licensees were cancelled effective 15 December 2024 | Public notice on its page |
Brand and domain status is a separate document: see reading PAGCOR licensed sites lists. If gaming has stopped being fun, the PAGCOR self exclusion form steps explain how to ask PAGCOR to block you from licensed platforms.
