Where does PAGCOR publish its registered brand lists?

PAGCOR publishes them as PDF files on its regulatory site, pagcor.ph. Each one carries an as-of date in its title, so read that date before you rely on a row.

Does a logo or certificate picture on a casino site count as a registered brand?

No. PAGCOR warned on 29 June 2026 that fake gaming sites use its logo and fabricated certificates, so only the row in PAGCOR's own list counts.

Pwede bang sa isang domain lang tumingin?

Hindi sapat ang brand name lang. Hanapin ang brand at ang eksaktong address sa listahan, kasi ang match ay para lang sa mga domain na nakasulat doon.

A registered brand is a brand name, with the web addresses tied to it, that PAGCOR prints in one of its own published lists. If you want to know whether a casino name you met in an ad or a chat is on such a list, the answer sits in PAGCOR’s PDF, not in a badge on the casino’s page. This page shows you how to read those lists and run the look-up yourself. For the wider set of checks, start from how to check a legit site before you register.

What a registered brand means on PAGCOR’s lists

PAGCOR’s regulatory site carries two lists that use the words “Registered Brand”. Each is a PDF with the date it was current printed in its title. The table below gives the titles and the columns as PAGCOR prints them.

List title (as PAGCOR prints it)	As-of date	Columns
List of PAGCOR-Accredited Gaming System Administrators and Registered Brands and Domain Names/URLs	October 8, 2026	No., Gaming System Administrator, Game Offering, Main Brand (max of 1), Root Word, Main Domain, Sub-Domain, Additional URL
List of PAGCOR-Approved Registered Brand and Domain Names/URLs of Licensed Casinos	October 8, 2026	No., Integrated Resort, Suite of Games, Main Brand (max of 1), Root Word, Main Domain, Sub-Domain, Additional URL

The first PDF ran to 15 pages and the second to 3 pages when this site read them on 12 October 2026. PAGCOR groups Root Word, Main Domain, Sub-Domain and Additional URL under a heading for sub brands, with a limit of 6. A new PDF replaces the old one, so the as-of date in the title is the first thing to read.

How to look up a registered brand, step by step

You need two things before you start: the brand name as the casino spells it, and the exact address from your browser’s address bar. Write the address down letter by letter.

Open the regulatory site at pagcor.ph and find the two lists named in the table above. Type the address yourself rather than following a link from the casino.
Read the as-of date in the title of the PDF you open.
Use your PDF reader’s find function and search the brand name. Then search the root word, which is the short core of the name.
Search the exact domain, for example the part before the dot and the ending after it. A single changed letter is a different domain.
When a row appears, read across it: the administrator or integrated resort, the game offering, the main brand and every domain in that row.
Compare your address with each domain cell. Only a domain printed in the row is covered by the entry.

Reading the columns with an illustration

The row below is a made-up illustration to show the layout. It is not a real entry and the names are placeholders.

Column	Illustration
Gaming System Administrator	Example Administrator Inc.
Game Offering	Online casino games
Main Brand	Brand A
Root Word	examplea
Main Domain	example-a.ph
Sub-Domain	play.example-a.ph
Additional URL	example-a.net

In this illustration a player on example-a.ph or play.example-a.ph sits on a listed address. A player on example-a.club does not, even though the name looks the same. That gap between a look-alike address and a listed one is where copied sites live; see how a phishing website copies a lobby.

What a match tells you, and what it does not

A match tells you that PAGCOR printed that brand and that domain in that list on that date. It says nothing about any other address that uses the same name. Check each part against the table below.

You found	It tells you	It does not tell you
Brand and domain in one row	PAGCOR lists that address for that brand	Anything about a different domain with the same name
Brand only, domain differs	The name appears on the list	That your address is covered
A certificate picture on the site	Someone placed an image on a page	Anything; PAGCOR warned on 29 June 2026 that fake sites show fabricated certificates
A chat message saying the brand is registered	Someone said so	Nothing until you find the row yourself

What to do with the result

If the row matches your address, keep the PDF page and its date as your own record. If nothing matches, the address has no row to rely on, so do not send money or type a password into it. Reach the brand only through addresses you have checked, and if a site copied a name you know, report the scam website to the right body.

Save a screenshot of the PDF page you searched, with the as-of date visible.
Re-run the search whenever you meet a new address for the same brand.
Keep the two PAGCOR lists bookmarked from pagcor.ph, not from a message.
