What every review includes
Every review answers the same six questions, in the same order, so you can compare easily.
| What we check | What you'll see |
|---|---|
| PAGCOR license | License number, company name and domain, matched against PAGCOR's official list |
| Minimum deposit | The smallest deposit the cashier accepted on our test day |
| GCash and Maya | Whether each one works for deposits and withdrawals through the site's cashier |
| Timed payout test | A real withdrawal to our own e-wallet, timed from request to money received |
| Support response | How fast and how helpful the official support channel was |
| Verdict | A plain summary: who it suits, and who should stay away |
The full step-by-step method is on how we test, and our writing rules are on how we write. Each review will also show the date we tested, because sites change.
Status: our first reviews are being tested now
Our first reviews are being tested now. We haven't published a review yet, so there are no operator names or ratings here yet either. We'd rather publish late than publish something we haven't tested ourselves.
While you wait, you can do the most important check on your own. Use our PAGCOR license checker to confirm a site's license in three steps. Planning to pay with an e-wallet? Read the GCash casino guide or the Maya casino guide first, especially the part about red flags.
Who we review (and who we don't)
We only review PAGCOR-licensed operators. The rules are simple:
- Licensed only. No license, no review.
- Unlicensed sites get a warning page. Never a review, a link, a logo or a bonus code.
- Commissions don't buy ratings. A site that pays us can still get a bad verdict.
- Responsible gaming counts. We note whether deposit limits and self-exclusion are easy to find. More on that in Laro Nang Tama.
- Corrections are dated. If a license or payout result changes, we update the review and say what changed.
Open 24/7. Free and confidential. Players and their families can call.
FAQ
Have you published any reviews yet?
Not yet. Our first reviews are being tested now. Until then, use our PAGCOR license checker to check the site yourself.
Why do you withdraw real money for a review?
Because the payout is the most important test. Depositing is easy; withdrawing shows whether a site is really in good shape.
Do casinos pay for good reviews?
No. We earn commissions from some licensed operators, but that doesn't change the rating. Read our disclosure page for details.
Do you review unlicensed sites?
No. Unlicensed sites only get a warning page, with no link, logo or bonus code.
