How We Rate Casinos

Every casino on PH Casino Advice is scored the same way. Here is exactly what we look at — and how we stay independent.

Our ratings are editorial judgements made by our team using a consistent set of criteria. We test and check each platform, weigh the factors below, and give an overall score out of 5. Scores are reviewed and updated as platforms change.

Our rating criteria

Licensing & safetyHighest priority

We only list casinos licensed and regulated by PAGCOR. We check the licence, data protection, fair-play measures and the operator’s track record. A platform that fails here is not listed at all.

Games & providersHigh

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 trusted providers score higher.

Bonuses & promotionsHigh

The real value of welcome offers and ongoing promotions — not just the headline number, but wagering requirements and fair terms. We flag anything that looks misleading.

PaymentsHigh

Support for local methods Filipinos actually use — GCash, Maya, bank transfer — plus deposit and withdrawal speed, limits and fees.

Mobile experienceMedium

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.

Support & reputationMedium

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, and we don't list platforms we can't stand behind. If we can't verify a licence, it doesn't make the list.
