PAGCOR regulates domestic electronic gaming through several records that must not be collapsed into one list. The Gaming System Administrator snapshot dated 27 August 2026 is numbered through 59; the separate licensed-casino register is numbered through 11; and the public PAGCOR Guarantee exposed 74 labels linking to 73 normalised destinations when Atlas checked on 8 September. Betano is registered but every listed offering remains marked as not commercially commenced. The casino PDF and Guarantee publish different Solaire domains, so Atlas preserves both without declaring either exclusive. PokerStars was not found in the registers consulted and is not presented as a current Philippines match.

Two official brand registers
PAGCOR publishes Gaming System Administrators, their registered brands and consumer domains in one snapshot, and licensed-casino online brands in a separate snapshot. Atlas checks both before treating a brand as absent.
PAGCOR electronic-gaming licensing hubCurrent 27 August 2026 snapshot
The Gaming System Administrator register is numbered through 59. That is an administrator-entry count, not 59 websites or casino licences. Its asterisk denotes an offering that has not yet commenced commercial operations; all seven offerings in the Kaizen Gaming Philippines Inc. / Betano.ph row are marked.
PAGCOR GSA brand and domain register - 27 August 2026Guarantee is a complementary search surface
PAGCOR Guarantee displayed 74 labels linked to 73 normalised destinations on 8 September; Arena Plus and Arena Plus Sportsbook shared one destination. These are searchable labels, not a complete count of operators or licences, and they do not replace the two PDF registers.
PAGCOR Guarantee - checked 8 September 2026Administrator is not the same as a venue licence
PAGCOR states that its electronic-gaming department separately accredits service providers, approves platforms and games, and issues gaming licences for venue operations. A supplier or system-administrator record alone should not be read as every type of consumer-facing permission.
PAGCOR electronic-gaming licensing scopeSecond-quarter 2026 market result
PAGCOR reported PHP 39.85 billion in GGR from the electronic-gaming segment in Q2 2026, including E-Games, E-Bingo, bingo and poker. That was 45.21% of the PHP 88.13 billion industry total, not a revenue figure for the 59 administrator rows.
