Was it only in PH? I was curious if there is an online cockfighting that accepted cryptocurrency, I think restriction of this kind of matches should be worldwide I think most of the rooster are dead after fighting. I mean this is way more bad than horse racing since people let the rooster fight to death.

Of course cockfighting is more cruel entertainment, which for reasons I do not understand, is enjoyed by a huge number of people. There are a lot of entertainments nowadays in which animals are not maimed and do not lose their lives, so I think that cockfighting should be stopped as soon as possible. Anyone who has ever bet or watched a fight can contribute to this by simply stopping doing it. When there is no demand for this type of fighting they will simply stop.

Yes it isn't illegal because there are some arena's with legitimate license to operate in some places all over the country, cockfighting will be a real hard to end because it's already a traditional activities. Maybe the newly elected president will consider to operate this online sabong games but the way I see it, chances are that he will follow the same implementation of the outgoing president.

It depends on who is going to lobby to get it back, if the people that are going to lobby are the same people who helped him fund his presidential campaign I doubt if he will say no, remember operators and their partners are making billions of pesos here and the government hundreds of millions every month, it's tempting for both parties, the missing piece is strict regulation if they can regulate the operation where only serious gamblers who can gamble and lose without any issue then it's a go for the government to let it continue.

That will be a real hard to implement if that's the case, we know that almost all people of legal age can play e-sabong anywhere and everywhere they like. In any case, the government should ask these players if they have a stable job in-order to play from it lol.

Anyways, we can see this coming few months if how would the new administration handle this issue. The outgoing administration badly wanted the money because those millions of revenue per day could really help the entire country but consequence is that it would literally ruin some lives, especially those agents who have been missing up until now.

It's because PH was the only country that is so 'inventive' during the time of pandemic that they think about online cockfighting. And it become so lucrative in the country that it affected a lot of lives in a negative way.

Cockfighting though is worldwide as far as I know so there is no argument. But PH only accepts local currency so no, they don't accept crypto.

Horse racing betting has been around since time immemorial and it has become a kind of prestige among the rich people who often bet. Some of them must have had a close relationship with the government so that the government could support them to keep betting on horse racing. So it seems like it will be difficult to ban horse racing betting because there are still people who keep betting. Maybe someday if there is a government that will protect animals and prohibits the use of animals for betting then betting on animals will be strictly prohibited.

Close relationship with the government officials? Nah, I don't believe that. Wealth brought them closer.
The kind of business won't ever disappear. Even if that specific government official is against animal cruelty, but when offered tons of money, he can't do nothing but to allow it.
Ever wonder why there are movements and private groups who are agianst anim cruelty? Well, that's because for the longest time the government have done nothing about it lol.

What a ridiculous way to gamble and entertain yourself. I have never heard of such nonsense as regulated and legal cockfighting in Europe. I am sure there are some countries that are involved in such crap. If you support these kinds of "sports" and like them, just step into the ring yourself and fight to the death with another man who made that same decision. That makes more sense because you both agreed to it and are doing it of your own free will. When you put two pitbulls or roosters in a small ring, you decided their faith, not them.

It should be banned and the scum organizing and making money on it should be imprisoned.

To those against, just accept the fact. If it's cruel to the highest level then we should not seen horse owners doing care on their horses or putting lots of efforts to make their horses fit on the race.

If you are still against at it, file a lawsuit on your place but good luck as no way it will be banned.

Just accept the reality instead of doing an outrage here in a crypto-forum.

These are considered illegal now and in my place, there are really those physical betting places for online cockfighting.

Physical bets on the cockpit arena itself are legal and 100% operational. It's safe to bet there.

Only the online "sabong" is halted but cannot be considered illegal for now as it was just suspended until further notice.

If you see online sabong still streamed, then it was running under the shadows and not held in the official arena. But I'm sure it's just a small market like the online color games, online bingo, online "perya" games, etc.
Yeah, I know it's safe if it's the actual cockpit arena. But it's not that I've said, it's a place for online cockfighting. I've seen many branches of it near my place when it's still legal.
But I haven't seen if they're closed yet since I'm not yet passing by there so should I go to the destination that I'll pass there, I'll check it out. It's to be expected that there will still be operations under it and they'll keep going despite being said of illegal now and banned.

The issue starts on the event handle by the higher person in the world of PH sabong which is some of the sabogero/Gambler are getting missing that's why the president makes a ban with the use of this game its just a casual game before that people keep enjoying but recently they see that its like an easy money and does not paying tax at all of the games and the people of the PH are getting addicted that causes their assets and money losses i guess President Duterte makes this a good move to prevent people wasting too much not productive in this game.
That concerns a lot to the President I'd say since this is just the incident that happen where lot of missing person was gone in just a day then just found dead with lots of gunshots on their bodies. I think it was a good call from the President to do his duty for his people and besides if the virus is contained a lot of people will enjoy the traditional cockfighting they always love to attend if the government prioritize the containment. Is just around the corner I guess.
Well, we think of it as a precautionary measure taken by the President to prevent more people from getting addicted. Traditional cockfighting games can indeed easily get people addicted and waste too much money and these precautions are expected to help people to abandon traditional cockfighting. But don't forget that this traditional game of cockfighting can be played in many places so the President should really give instructions to his subordinates to find those places and arrest those who are still playing the game.
Cock fighting is not illegal in the Philippines as long as it's done in a license venue, but we should not generalize the cock fighting as only the online cock fighting was stopped, however, under the new presidency, maybe it's possible for them to operate again.

100% I am so fucking sick of people gambling on animals of any kind whether it’s dog racing or horse racing but especially even more sickening and cruel types such a cock fighting and dog fighting. What in the world is wrong with your government?! Some sort of savages, Jesus Christ. The whole world has a major issue when it comes to gambling on animal sports but especially the eastern world , and in particular Asia. Asia seems to be a century behind the rest of the world in terms of what is ethical and what’s not. I would love to give anyone who supports this bullshit a punch right fucking face. This angers me to no end!!!!
i agree with the dog fighting because its so cruel, but the concern when it comes cock fighting? well it's very common here in Philippines actually and very popular since we don't have any animal games except this one.

And the reason why our president banned it because of some cases that most of the owners suddenly disappeared and there's still no information on them until now and the rumours is they're are dead because of that game.

Operators are still there and willing to gamble with the risk, knowing that many people will continue to patronize the business. In their part, since the permits are suspended, they are facilitating without any implemented taxes. It's worth the risk if there's a big money involve, like the examples that you mentioned, those online perya games are considered illegal but people continue to play. Though not in the mainstream anymore if dealing with online Sabong.

There are gamblers and bankers who continue to regulate. Even the suspension from the government has already been announced.

They are willing to cater to those who are also willing to gamble and risk their money.

Fights between animals should be prohibited because they are bloody, unethical and harmful.
I understand that they bring income to the State but in the end it is an industry that takes resources without producing anything, at most simple entertainment.
In this case there Is also an issue related gambling addiction... Well It was a good choice but I think a better information should always be provided because this time Is with this game the next time It could be another one

This Gambling should have been stopped long ago and not just now because there are already abused in this game and there are so much individuals and families that has now having a broken life.
not to mentioned those missing people because of the involvement in this operation in which being said that already killed by this time.
The Philippine president did it better and hope that the next administration(as the transition of the administration will happen next month) and the banning will stand forever.
Thats true. Many families got wrecked due to their addiction. I remember recently the case of a family wherein the mother sold her baby only 9 months old to pay her debts due to online cockfighting. Though she regret selling her baby after doing it and even ask for help to find the person who took her baby. Its just one of the bad effects of online cockfighting to the gamblers who cant control themselves. I also hope the next administration will continue to banned this game.
I did not watch that news but that is indeed a sad story for a gambler that can manage selling their Baby just to gamble?

And now I come to conclude that This banning is indeed what must be done here .

the president is great with His action here knowing that he is 1 month away from leaving His position as president of Philippines .

The negative effects of online cockfighting is way worse than the positive effects that it can give to the country.
TBH, I just don't know why they allowed it in our country. Tax? Revenue? You can get that in other ways but the morale and the effects of it to the people especially for those who lose all already are irreversible.

If you're from PH, you might seen some news from some bettors regarding what happened to them after losing to E-sabong. We've also saw around 30+ people that are missing just because of cockfighting. Some said that they stole money from other people. Some don't have families anymore because of it. Some feel sorry for themselves and regret what they did etc. As I'm watching these news and what is happening to these people, the more I agree with what our President did.

Now the Election is over and in a few weeks we have a new president. I just hope that this will remain the same and will not re-open online cockfighting to the public.
It can be a combination of tax and revenue but other than that, cock fighting is a classic game on this country plus the world now is slowly turning to online, that is why online cock fighting became a hit but its only sad that its career have now ended, it didn't last for too long but with the newly elected president, there might be a chance that it will be allowed again. That should give him an early boost.

Morale and effects of gambling to the people can change but of course if that person is willing to change but with the horrible news that are happening on this country and the ban that happened, many gamblers will realize that it's risky to get involved in this game.
