1. Corporate Origins & Late-2021 Market Entry
Philippine Cockfighting International Inc. was accredited by PAGCOR’s E-Sabong Licensing Department during the October 2021 licensing wave, formally commencing operations on October 23, 2021 under the brand name Platinum Cockers Club. According to official PAGCOR disclosures, the company operated one (1) registered website and did not hold accreditation for off-cockpit betting stations (OCBS) or auxiliary operations (ESAO).
Positioned as a boutique derby broadcast portal targeting high-roller cockfighters and overseas Filipino bettors, Platinum Cockers Club entered the market at a moment when Lucky 8 Star Quest and Belvedere Vista Corporation had already locked up the vast majority of barangay-level Master Agents nationwide.
2. Regulatory Suspension & Senate Resolution No. 996
Philippine Cockfighting International Inc. had an operational window of less than six months before regulatory enforcement halted its growth. On February 24, 2022, the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs named Philippine Cockfighting International Inc. (Platinum Cockers Club) in Senate Resolution No. 996 urging the immediate suspension of all e-sabong permits. By April 28, 2022, PAGCOR officially listed the company under its “Suspended Licensees” roster, and the May 3, 2022 Presidential ban permanently terminated the platform.
3. Consumer Protection Advisory
Platinum Cockers Club has been legally defunct since early 2022. Under Executive Order No. 09 (s. 2022), any website or social media page resurrecting the “Platinum Cockers Club” or “Philippine Cockfighting International” name is operating an illegal underground gambling scheme. Do not register, download APKs, or send funds to any agent claiming affiliation with this defunct licensee.
