PAGCOR’s ‘Bingo for a Cause’ boosts funding for Local Government Units

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) said it has tweaked its “Bingo for A Cause’’ program to help local government units (LGUs) and non-government organizations (NGOs) raise more funds for their socio-civic programs. 

PAGCOR Assistant Vice President Maria Teresa Ocampo said the state gaming agency has approved new packages that will allow LGUs and NGOs to earn as much as 50% share from proceeds of bingo events to be conducted with PAGCOR.
“The revised bingo package will give our partners the option to sell tickets from as low as Php100 to Php1,000 each, depending on the package that they choose,” she said. “The proceeds will even go higher depending on their ticket sales.”
Ocampo, who heads PAGCOR’s Bingo Department, said the ‘Bingo for A Cause’ project will also allow communities and organizations to enjoy the fun and thrill of bingo games legally while contributing to worthy causes.

“Like any game of chance, only PAGCOR has the mandate to authorize bingo activities, hence bingo games without PAGCOR’s permission are illegal,” she said.
“We thus remind our partner communities and organizations to first coordinate with PAGCOR’s Bingo Department if they plan to organize bingo events and explore partnership opportunities with us,” she added.
