DUE to the nature of its gaming operations, online sabong (cockfighting) or e-sabong has aggressively risen to fame as a popular form of entertainment, especially during these times when various quarantine restrictions are imposed, delimiting the people's choice of activities and forms of entertainment.

Cognizant of the detrimental effects of e-sabong if left unchecked, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) has instituted a regulatory framework for the online sabong industry that primarily aims to protect the welfare of Filipino players while ensuring that the government gets its appropriate share of revenue from the gaming operation.
