Rule first, then the titles: the country-wide suspension of e-sabong dates from 2022, and the 28 December 2022 text of Executive Order No. 9 directed that it carry on. A game called Super e-Sabong does not reopen anything. These are titles a studio built and a catalogue lists, named for the sport the way a slot is named for a pharaoh, and this page sorts what each one is against what the order actually stops.

Super e-Sabong and its neighbours, sorted

TAYA777’s catalogue is where these four entries were read. Its navigation has no Sabong tab, so they sit scattered among other lanes.

The first three are studio catalogue titles, and a studio catalogue is a shelf of packaged games, in the same list as that studio’s slots and arcade titles. The DS88 card gets a separate line for a reason: a card in a Live Casino lane deserves more care than a game in a slot list, because the lane name suggests a live feed rather than animation.

What a cock fighting game on a lobby really is

A cock fighting game is a piece of software that draws a bout and pays to its own rules. Think of it as a theme laid over a casino game: birds on the screen instead of fruit or gems. No cockpit, no handler and no sentenciador stand behind it, and its result comes from the game, so it has nothing to do with any fight happening anywhere.

Why the name does not change the law

Executive Order No. 9 names two things: live-streaming or broadcasting a cockfight outside the cockpit, and betting on those streams, whether the bet is placed online, remotely or off-cockpit. The e-sabong legal status page has the clause and the dates. Set a themed title against those two, and the contrast is clean.

QuestionThemed software titleStreamed fight with wagering
Is a real fight taking place?NoYes
Named in the order?NoYes
Does calling it e-sabong change that?NoNo

The name gets two rulings, then. Marketing cannot make a software game into a real fight, and a game’s theme cannot make a real streamed fight legal. For anyone looking for the real thing online, the online sabong ruling page sets out what the suspension means for that search.

Whether a lobby itself stands up is a different ruling: see the legit or not page for this brand and check it against the list of PAGCOR-licensed online casinos. Whatever you conclude, every Join 76JL button here goes to 76JL, a different casino, and this page takes no view of what 76JL lists.

Red flags to watch for

  1. A themed game advertised as live e-sabong. Either the description is false or the product is suspended; neither is a reason to deposit.
  2. A DS88 or similar card that opens a stream with Meron and Wala buttons. That is the activity the order stops; close it.
  3. “Legal because it is on a casino lobby.” A lobby listing is not a legal ruling on anything.

Set a spending limit before you try any themed title, with the responsible gaming safeguards to hand, and browse the casino blog archive for the rest of these rulings.

How to Get Started

  1. Read the studio name first

    A title from a game studio's catalogue is a packaged casino game. The card usually names the studio or sits in that studio's lane.

  2. Ask what the card opens

    Animation on a game screen and a video feed from a real cockpit are different things, and only the second raises the suspension directly.

  3. Keep the legal question separate

    A themed game being software tells you nothing about whether the lobby showing it is licensed. Check that on PAGCOR's lists.

Questions sent to the referee

Is Super e-Sabong a live cockfight?

It is a title in JILI's catalogue, the studio known for slots and other packaged games, and the name describes its theme. An animated bout on a game screen is not footage from a cockpit.

Does the e-sabong suspension cover themed casino games?

Executive Order No. 9 is aimed at streamed cockfights and betting on them. A themed title falls outside that description, but that does not make the lobby around it licensed.

What is the DS88 card in the Live Casino lane?

An entry the lobby's catalogue lists there. If a card ever opens a real streamed fight with wagering, the suspension applies to it, whatever the lane is called.
