Sabong has a rich history in the Philippines and it’s already part of the culture. According to historians, locals have been playing and betting on cockfighting even before the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan and his team in 1521. Today, cockfighting is still popular leisure and past time, and the regulated games are often hosted during special events like fiestas and holidays. There are world-class derbies too that are often hosted in major arenas in different parts of the country.
However, some laws prohibit the game. Operators who want to host derbies and accept bets must apply for a license or approval to operate. The law, at least on paper, also prohibits online betting that covers cockfighting Philippines games. But this doesn’t stop many players and enthusiasts from checking out sabong online betting. e-Sabong outlets in the Philippines are getting popular but these are operating within the ‘grey area’.
But if you’re passionate about the game and want to stay on the safe side, then consider the licensed and regulated cockfighting Philippines derbies hosted by big companies or the cockfighting Philippines games that are approved during holidays.
