The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) has flagged 12 Facebook pages and accounts for allegedly promoting unregulated online gambling websites, including several with millions of followers.
The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) warned the public to be cautious about the online personalities they follow, saying some influencers with large followings are endorsing gambling websites that may not be legally authorized in the Philippines.
In its latest report, the CICC’s Threat Monitoring Center (TMC) identified 1,007 unauthorized gambling sites operating without accreditation from Pagcor. At least 146 of these were linked to illegal online sabong, which remains banned by the government.
