The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center has named 12 Facebook pages and accounts. The agency says they promoted unregulated online gambling websites.
Some of the accounts have millions of followers. That gives the reported promotions a wide reach across social media.
This is the seventh and final batch in a series of advisories from the CICC. Each batch has identified accounts and pages allegedly tied to illegal gambling ads.
The agency did not say what action, if any, has been taken against the accounts. They were simply included in the advisory.
Accounts With Large Followings
The biggest account on the list is Never Grow Old 2.0. The CICC says it has 6 million followers.
Kanene in Florida comes next with 5.6 million followers. Boss Nethjan and Brex TV 2.0 each have 3.2 million followers.
Magda has 1.9 million followers, according to the agency. Several smaller accounts round out the list.
These include Boss Owa 2.0, Parengtol 5.0, Madam Hannie, Randy Perez Calderon, Kavendor V.2, Daddy JC 4.0, and Leonardo Corpuz. Their follower counts range from 203,000 to 1.5 million.
The CICC listed both personal accounts and pages in its advisory. The follower numbers came directly from the agency’s own report.
The advisory linked these accounts to a group of gambling websites. Sites named include 777ny.com, leopardaga.com, sealjl.net, fbb89.com, and alicornvip.com.
Other sites on the list are worldcupph.ph, whalejl.fun, santollucky.ph, wolfkingx.com, 78go.com, and jllws.com. The CICC did not say which account promoted which specific site.
Instead, the agency grouped the accounts and websites together under the final batch. It described all of the sites as unregulated gambling platforms.
Laws That May Apply
The CICC pointed to Presidential Decree No. 1602 as amended by Republic Act No. 9287. This law covers illegal gambling activity in the Philippines.
The agency also cited Republic Act No. 10175, known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. This law applies when offenses happen through internet or digital platforms.
The CICC made clear that these are possible violations. It did not say that any account owner has been convicted of a crime.
The agency is asking the public for help. People who see accounts still promoting illegal gambling sites are asked to report them.
Reports can be made through the CICC Hotline 1326. The agency said this hotline remains the main channel for such reports.
With this seventh batch released, the CICC has finished its full review of Facebook accounts tied to alleged illegal gambling promotion. The agency says its hotline will continue taking reports on any accounts still active.
