services to players outside the Philippines under the former framework.\n      Their intended offshore customer base distinguishes them from authorized domestic online gaming platforms serving the local market.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Who legalized POGO in the Philippines?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      PAGCOR introduced its <strong>POGO licensing framework in 2016<\/strong>, during Rodrigo Duterte's administration.\n      Describing that framework is more accurate than saying that one person made every online gambling business legal.\n      Each operator still needed the authorization applicable to its activities.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Who banned POGO in the Philippines?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      <strong>President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.<\/strong> announced the ban in July 2024 and issued\n      <strong>Executive Order No. 74<\/strong> that November.\n      Congress later passed the <strong>Anti-POGO Act of 2025<\/strong>, which Marcos signed on October 23, 2025.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Is POGO considered a BPO?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      <strong>BPO and POGO describe different activities.<\/strong>\n      Calling a company a BPO cannot legalize prohibited offshore gaming;\n      the work it performs determines whether the prohibition applies.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>What did POGO workers do?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      Roles included <strong>customer support, IT, marketing, verification, payments, and administration<\/strong>.\n      A job title alone does not establish criminal responsibility.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>How much was the salary of POGO workers in the Philippines?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      There was <strong>no single salary<\/strong> covering every employer and role.\n      Pay claims require a specific job, employer, and period, so a broad \"POGO salary\" figure can mislead readers.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Treat a present-day recruitment offer separately from historical accounts of work in the former licensed sector.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Can foreign POGO offenders face prosecution in the Philippines?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      Yes. <strong>Section 6 of the Anti-POGO Act<\/strong> gives criminal prosecution and punishment priority over deportation.\n      Foreign nationality does not automatically prevent Philippine prosecution.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>How much is bail for illegal gambling?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      There is <strong>no single bail amount<\/strong> for every illegal-gambling case.\n      The specific charge and applicable rules matter, and Rule 114 directs the court to consider factors such as\n      financial ability, the offense's circumstances, the applicable penalty, and the likelihood of appearing at trial.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      A lawyer should assess an actual case.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Is every online casino illegal after the POGO ban?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      No. <strong>PAGCOR continues to regulate domestic electronic gaming<\/strong> and related online platforms\n      under a separate framework.\n      Verify the particular operator, brand, and website instead of assuming that all online gambling\n      falls under the former POGO category.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h3>Does a Safety Center listing guarantee that a website is safe?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      No. The listing provides information and a displayed classification.\n      Compare the exact address with current official records, and review the\n      <strong>account, privacy, bonus, and withdrawal terms<\/strong> before proceeding.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n.faq-section {\n  margin: 30px 0;\n}\n\n.faq-section > h2 {\n  margin: 0
