The Official Identity: Empire Card

The official, registered name of the platform is Empire Card.

We chose this name to reflect our core philosophy: a “Card-First” design. Unlike generic platforms that focus heavily on spinning visuals, our interface is optimized for card-style formats (like Baccarat analysis and Poker strategy) that require precision, clear data, and stable connections even on LTE networks.

When verifying our legitimacy or checking our PAGCOR-aligned responsible use standards, always look for the full corporate designation: Empire Card Entertainment Inc.


Community Nicknames: EC, EC88, and More

Filipino players love efficiency. Texting is fast, and accessing entertainment on a mobile device during a commute—whether on a jeepney in Manila or a bus in Cebu—requires speed. Over time, our local community has adopted several nicknames that function as “shorthand” for the platform.

Here is a breakdown of the variations you might encounter in search results or community chats:

Note for Users: While EC88 and EC are widely used by the community, they all refer to the same single platform: Empire Card.

Frequently Asked Questions (Name Variations)

To help clarify any confusion regarding our brand identity, we have compiled the most common questions from our users.

Is “EC88” the same as Empire Card?

Yes. EC88 is a popular community-generated nickname. It is not a separate website but simply another way players refer to the Empire Card platform. Accessing via “EC88” links usually redirects to the same official access points.

Why do some people call it “EmpireCard” (one word)?

This variation stems from internet usage. Since website addresses (URLs) cannot contain spaces, users often type EmpireCard into search bars. Both the one-word and two-word formats are considered correct when searching for us.

Does the name “Empire Card” mean it only offers card games?

No. While our design philosophy is “Card-First” (focusing on table formats), the platform is a comprehensive entertainment hub. We also provide access to Spinning Games, Live Studio feeds, Sports updates, and Fishing formats. The name reflects our dedication to the strategic “Card” experience that Filipino players value most.
