# LegitPH

> Philippine gaming licence and advertising-rule tracking. Every figure on this site is parsed from a PAGCOR filing and carries the filing's own as-of date.

Written by Eric, founder of RedClaw, a performance-marketing agency with iGaming operator clients. That commercial interest is disclosed on every page. No ratings are published and no placement is sold.

## Sections
- [PAGCOR licences: what the regulator actually publishes](https://legitph.com/pagcor/): The registers PAGCOR publishes, what each one covers, and why the venue list is the wrong document to check an online casino against.
- [Philippine gaming advertising rules, from the buy side](https://legitph.com/ads-rules/): What the 2026 advertising restrictions forbid, and what each restriction does to operator acquisition economics.

## Pages
- [About LegitPH](https://legitph.com/about/): Who runs LegitPH, what the commercial interest is, and what the site refuses to publish.
- [Eric — founder, RedClaw](https://legitph.com/authors/eric/): Who writes LegitPH, what the relevant experience is, and what conflict of interest that experience creates.
- [Methodology: how every figure here is produced and checked](https://legitph.com/methodology/): Sourcing from pagcor.ph, parsing, the two extraction traps in PAGCOR PDFs, and the automated checks every page must pass before publication.

## Sourcing
- Primary sources are PDFs published at pagcor.ph; parsing code and the checks applied are described at https://legitph.com/methodology/
- Licence lists are re-parsed monthly; the as-of date shown is the regulator's, not ours
- Land-based venue licences and online gaming licences are different registers and are never merged on this site
