It looks like we have a lot of answers that we are not sure of. I am trying to research what games they are offering in POGOs here in the Philippines and I Googled it, surprisingly I have not played any games that are listed there. We don't know if they are also offering slot games like JILI and Fachai as slot providers which are very popular in our country. If they are, then we are not sure if we actually played one of them because many online gambling sites today are using those said slot providers since they are the fastest ones and we can bet at a cheap price too, as low as 1 peso per roll.
But, if all the games listed in Google is all they had, I don't think I have played in it yet.

POGO has been a hot issue in the Philippines recently due to crimes related to its operation. I was surprised to learn that there was already a documentary about this three years ago, but the government seemed not to have taken the right action. Now, it seems they are considering banning the operation due to the mentioned reasons.

From a financial aspect, POGO brings in billions of pesos to the Philippines through taxes, so it's hard to let this go. However, these crimes are no longer tolerable, and they have tarnished the country's reputation. There are also rumors that other countries, particularly China, have sent spies to the Philippines since POGO is operated by Chinese people.

So question is, have you played with these casinos before. They have this live dealers which are also available in other casinos that are popular in the forum, I'm thinking maybe they are providing those.

I was under the impression that POGO is illegal as it become a front for illegal casinos and operators behind. But it could be true that there are some POGO that might be real and most likely we might have played on them specially live games.

For the Philippines, the sentiments are now negative, and even if the government are making billions in dollars, but the repercussions are very bad that's why the President will have not choice but to totally ban it. But I don't think it will stop this POGO, they might have to go to other Asian neighboring countries that are willing to cuddle them in exchange of billions on taxes but they should have learn from the mistakes of the Philippines government.

The way how they operate their business then doing those illegalities on their hubs leaves impression that there's nothing good it brings for people and to the country. That's why I agree with government officials urges the President to ban this kind of activities since illegal activities like what those POGO's do should be stop. And I think the latest updates about this cases is they totally ban this POGO on Philippines so its really good they decide about that since even in Chine this operation has been declared as illegal on their country.

If some institutions worrying about the tax then for sure they can find something else that can able to generate funds to them. But the evil deeds made by those illegal operators should be stop so they can avoid more bigger problems in future.

I think you are late because the president of the Philippines has already announced the Banning of POGOs and this only going to be at the end of this year to completely seize operations.

I don’t think I have ever played in one, but I just see the effects of it, and also the foreigners in the Philippines that are probably connected to that is quite alarming and there is a lot. All the negative effects and using POGOs As a front to commit crimes is definitely the best solution by banning it.

The first time that I heard about POGO was when someone brought it up on this forum that Filipino government wants to ban the game because of how it is used in criminal ways. I did not bother to check what the game is all about. I only play few of casino games which are roulette, dice and slots which are easy to know how to play. That is why I like casinos, they have many games including those ones that does not require cards. I do not know much about card games which is the reason I do not go for blackjack, baccarat and poker.

Not sure if their casinos operated are accepting cryptocurrencies but I'm bit sure I didn't pick yet any casino which have related to POGO's since so far I didn't played any casino which has been located on Philippines. I usually goes with those casino advertised in bitcointalk so maybe its safe to say that I didn't gamble on those controversial casino since still see those casino smoothly running and didn't experience any issue yet.

The problem beneath those POGO operation is they include those illegal operations that's why their operations has been stopped. I guess taxes they provide became nothing if their business model creates more larger harm to the community that's why they are been a hot topic now.

I am sure not to had played on this site because I am pretty not a freak to be attracted on new gambling opportunities.

Even if I must gamble on new or strange sites, it must be by one on one recommendation and not as one of the running online ADs.
Apparently the POGO is totally a strange related to gambling to me.

We would say way fewer complaints from gamblers if everyone had the same thoughts as you about new gambling platforms and opportunities, but most gamblers get attracted when they see an ad or a promotion with some bonus or something, and casinos and their marketing experts know this thing and this is why they use this tactic to attract new gamblers.

This is mostly common in new gamblers, they lack experience so they think that the bonuses they get from new casinos can make them money, though some of them manage to be lucky and earn something from the bonuses, most of them can't even clear the wagering requirements and lose all their money before that.

Those who are experienced understand that these bonuses are nothing more than a way for them to attract new gamblers to their platforms and one can barely manage to withdraw anything using those bonuses.

I'm not sure if I have played with the so called POGO, but for sure majority of us have played online and maybe we really don't know that the games that we have been playing is under POGO in the Philippines. And perhaps the question is, how do we know? Perhaps there are also some off shore gaming not from the Philippines with live dealers. Or maybe if we play let's say online roulette, we have seen live dealers and it seems that most of them are in Europe and not in Asia? So it's really hard to know where we play if it is off shore and if it is in Europe or Asia. In any case, it seems that POGO has a bad reputation already from the Philippine government and now they are halting everything and raiding those offices as it involved crimes inside and there is a big name involved like a local elect Mayor who reports says is the facilitator and could be a spy for the Chinese.

I'm not sure if I have played with this before since it's online and the government does not reveal the websites used by POGO. I think they mostly cater to Chinese people as the idea was to build a gambling hub in the Philippines since gambling is illegal in China. As for the spy thing, I don't think it's reliable because China has reached out to the Philippine government before to stop the operation of POGO, but the president did not entertain it since they are benefiting from the income they are making.

Mostly, the victims are just Chinese people, those they hire from China to work in the Philippines, so the crime wasn't very public since they hid what they were doing inside the hub. The biggest concern in their operation is the money laundering since they aren't fully regulated, and their transactions aren't being scrutinized, with regulations limited to paperwork, particularly on the license.
