1. Corporate Background: A B2B Gaming Provider Enters E-Sabong
Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies, Inc. differed significantly in corporate DNA from the other eight PAGCOR e-sabong licensees. Rather than originating from a group of cockpit arena promoters or gamefowl breeders, Jade Entertainment was an established Manila-based gaming technology supplier and service provider known for distributing land-based casino equipment and operating licensed sportsbook technology (Jade SportsBet).
Seeking to capture a share of the surging online cockfighting market in late 2021, Jade Entertainment applied for an ESLD permit and officially commenced regulated e-sabong operations on September 7, 2021 under the brand name Jade Sabong, operating one (1) registered website.
2. Regulatory Suspension & Senate Resolution No. 996
Because Jade Sabong operated with stricter corporate KYC (Know-Your-Customer) onboarding compared to the aggressive, unverified Facebook sub-agent networks used by rival cockpit syndicates, its market share remained modest. In February 2022, Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies, Inc. was included among the seven licensed e-sabong corporations cited in Senate Resolution No. 996 calling for an industry-wide suspension pending the investigation into the 34 missing sabungeros. By April 28, 2022, PAGCOR’s official ESLD registry listed Jade Entertainment’s e-sabong permit under the “Suspended Licensees” classification, and the e-sabong vertical was permanently shuttered following the May 3, 2022 Presidential ban and Executive Order No. 09.
3. Legal Distinction & Consumer Verification Advisory
For researchers and consumers consulting SabongWatch, it is important to distinguish between traditional casino/sportsbook operations and prohibited e-sabong. Under Executive Order No. 09 (s. 2022), no corporate gaming licensee—regardless of whether they hold other non-cockfighting gaming accreditations—is permitted to stream live cockfights or accept online wagers on sabong. The Jade Sabong vertical is permanently closed, and any rogue website or agent claiming to accept online cockfight bets under the Jade name is operating illegally.
