Our ratings are editorial judgements made by our team using a consistent set of criteria. We check each platform against public records (PAGCOR lists, operator sites, app stores), weigh the factors below, and give an overall score out of 5. Scores are reviewed and updated as platforms change.
Our rating criteria
We review only casinos that appear on PAGCOR’s published lists, and we check each licence entry against PAGCOR’s own documents. A platform we cannot find on those lists is not reviewed or ranked.
The range and quality of games — slots, live casino, table games, bingo — and the studios behind them (JILI, PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, Evolution and more). More variety and well-known providers score higher.
The terms of welcome offers and ongoing promotions as the operator publishes them — not just the headline number, but wagering requirements and other conditions.
The local payment methods each operator lists on its own pages — for example Maya and bank transfer — plus any published deposit and withdrawal limits and fees. GCash’s Help Center says licensed-gaming top-up was removed on 16 August 2025, so this site does not list any platform as a GCash option.
Most players in the Philippines play on their phone, so we weigh how well the site or app works on mobile — speed, layout and ease of use.
Customer support quality and responsiveness, plus the operator’s overall reputation with players and in the industry.
Our independence
PH Casino Advice earns commission from some casinos through affiliate links, at no extra cost to you. This never affects our scores or rankings — a casino cannot pay to rank higher. If we can't find a platform on PAGCOR's published lists, we don't review it. Paid ads are labelled "Ad" and are not part of our reviews. Read more on our About page.
