Is anyone actually surprised? Scams like this have been happening forever. Go look up the 2022 bust where the PH government raided dozens of illegal POGO operations literally thousands of fake sites run out of Manila. And just last year, PAGCOR had to update their verification system because so many casinos were photoshopping “license seals” onto their homepage. Let’s face it, all those sweet bonuses are just bait on a hook. The moment you win anything bigger than $50, the support ghosts you or hits you with “technical issues” for months. If you want to gamble, fine but at least use a site that’s confirmed by your national regulator, not some random logo. Gambling is already risky; don’t make it worse by making it a total lottery whether you even get your deposit back.
