About us

Who we are, why we exist and what we will and will not do.

Mission

Swerte Taya helps Filipino adults (21+) avoid scams and make informed choices about online gambling. We start with trust content: licence checks, scam warnings and practical guides, before any reviews or bonus pages.

What we will not do

  • Promote any operator that does not hold a PAGCOR licence, including offshore brands.
  • Promote e-sabong.
  • Target minors or people showing signs of problem gambling.

What you will find here

  • A PAGCOR licence checker built from the 491 registered domain names on PAGCOR's two published lists dated 20 October 2026 (checker, data). A listing is not a safety guarantee, and the page says so.
  • Guides on KYC, withdrawals, e-wallet rules, tax, scams and self-exclusion, each tracing its claims to a dated source (guides, news).
  • Game explainers that give the rules and the maths without promising wins (games).
  • Licence checks of listed brands, labelled as licence checks because we have not tested them (brand pages).

What we have not done yet

  • We have not opened accounts, deposited or withdrawn at any operator. That is why we publish no ratings, bonus amounts or payout times, and why ranked lists say "unranked".
  • Pages are information for readers, not legal, tax or financial advice.

How the site earns money

The site may earn commissions through affiliate links in future. The "Visit site" buttons that appear on some pages are marked sponsored and, at the time of writing, go to the operator's own registered address with no affiliate, tracking or commission parameter in the link; any commission arrangement will be disclosed. The rules are in the affiliate disclosure. Operators cannot pay to change what a page says.

If you are struggling with gambling

The PAGCOR National Problem Gambling Helpline is 02-8248-9568. See responsible gambling and our self-exclusion guide.
