Summary

The Philippines runs a licensed domestic gaming market in which the regulator is also an operator. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) licenses casinos, electronic casino games, bingo, sports betting, poker and numeric games under Presidential Decree 1869, as amended by Republic Act 9487, and runs its own Casino Filipino venues. Online play is legal only as an adjunct to a licensed gaming venue: accredited Gaming System Administrators run the platforms, players must be 21 or over and registered, and bets from outside the country are barred. Offshore-facing gaming is banned. Executive Order 74 ended POGO and internet gaming licences by 31 December 2024, and the Anti-POGO Act (Republic Act 12312, approved 23 October 2025) made it a crime carrying six to twelve years in prison. Operators pay PAGCOR a share of gross gaming revenue rather than a conventional gaming tax: 30% for electronic casino games, 25% for e-bingo, 15% for live sports betting and 30% for virtual sports, plus an audit fee of 10% of that share; PAGCOR itself pays a 5% franchise tax under its charter. A minimum guaranteed monthly fee for platform operators began on 1 July 2026. Industry GGR reached PHP 396.13 billion in 2025, up 6.39%, and electronic games at PHP 185.26 billion overtook the licensed casinos. The first half of 2026 went the other way: electronic games GGR was 32% lower than a year earlier, following the central bank's August 2025 order for banks and e-wallets to remove in-app gambling links. Advertising is pre-screened by the Ad Standards Council and Senate bills to ban or regulate online gambling remain in committee. PAGCOR wants to become a regulator only and privatise Casino Filipino, whose revenue fell 18.12% in 2025; in September 2026 the plan still awaited a Governance Commission for GOCCs decision.

Common pitfalls

Treating the PAGCOR share as a tax set by law: it is a licence fee fixed by PAGCOR and changed several times since 2023, with a 10% audit fee on top. Assuming a standalone online licence exists: every platform is tied to a licensed physical venue and run by an accredited Gaming System Administrator. Assuming offshore-facing supply can be licensed: RA 12312 made it a crime. Forgetting the minimum age is 21 and that lottery belongs to the PCSO, not PAGCOR.

Tax base
Operators remit a PAGCOR share (a licence fee set by PAGCOR, not a statutory tax) as a percentage of GGR for on-site and online play. The 30% shown is the rate for electronic casino and RNG-based games; licensed integrated resorts that run their own platform and commit at least US$200 million pay up to 22%. GGR for online games is gross bets less payouts and progressive jackpot allocations. An audit fee of 10% of the PAGCOR share is payable on top for all games except locally linked on-site machines. The framework states that the integrated resort rate is exclusive of the 5% franchise tax under PD 1869; it does not say how the franchise tax applies to other licensees.

Notable licensees

Certification requirements
Each remote gaming platform needs certification from an independent gaming laboratory that it is fair and auditable and that it blocks all non-Philippine IP addresses, within three months of going live; only PAGCOR-approved games may be deployed; applicants undergo a third-party probity check.
Barriers to entry
There is no standalone online licence: a platform must be run by an accredited Gaming System Administrator and tied to a licensed physical venue, and PAGCOR has banned subleasing or sublicensing of accreditations. Offshore-facing operations are a crime under RA 12312. At 31 August 2026 there were 259 licensed venue operators, and 59 Gaming System Administrators were listed at 27 August 2026.

Outlook

Watch for the Governance Commission for GOCCs decision on separating PAGCOR regulatory and commercial functions: on 17 September 2026 PAGCOR said a decision was expected soon, after which the GCG would endorse the proposal to the Office of the President, and an Executive Order would follow only if the President finds merit. PAGCOR has said the privatisation of its Casino Filipino operations would follow the separation. PAGCOR also told the House of Representatives in August 2026 that it would launch an app before the end of the year to steer players to licensed platforms. The second tranche of the minimum guaranteed fee starts on 1 January 2027 at PHP 10.5 million a month for platforms offering electronic casino games. The BSP has yet to finalise its rules on online gambling payment services, which would decide whether e-wallet funding returns and on what terms. Senate Bills 47 (ban) and 57 (regulation) have sat in committee since July 2025, so Congress has both ban and regulation bills before it; separately, the Senate and PAGCOR were reported in March 2026 to be drafting a comprehensive online gaming bill, which PAGCOR chairman Alejandro Tengco wants enacted before his term ends on 30 June 2028.

Frequently asked questions

Is online gambling legal in the Philippines?
Yes, for players in the Philippines through PAGCOR-licensed platforms. Each platform is an adjunct to a licensed gaming venue, is run by an accredited Gaming System Administrator, must block players outside the country and may register only people aged 21 or over.
Are POGOs still legal?
No. Executive Order 74 required offshore gaming operations to cease by 31 December 2024, and RA 12312, approved on 23 October 2025, permanently revoked the licences and made offshore gaming a crime punishable by six to twelve years in prison and fines of up to PHP 50 million.
What do licensed online operators pay?
A PAGCOR share of GGR: 30% for electronic casino games, 25% for e-bingo, 15% for live sports betting and 30% for virtual sports, plus an audit fee of 10% of the share. Integrated resorts that run their own platform pay up to 22%, exclusive of the 5% franchise tax. Gaming System Administrators have also paid a minimum guaranteed fee since 1 July 2026.
How can a player check that a site is licensed?
The PAGCOR Guarantee site lists PAGCOR-authorised online gaming websites, and PAGCOR publishes the accredited Gaming System Administrators with their registered brands and domains.
Can e-wallets be used to gamble?
In August 2025 the BSP ordered banks and e-wallets to remove in-app links to gambling sites. Its draft rules for online gambling payment services are not yet final. PAGCOR bans credit cards and cryptocurrency for betting.
Who is not allowed to play?
People under 21, students, government officials connected with gaming operations, members of the armed forces and police, holders of gaming employment licences and anyone in the National Database of Restricted Persons.
Is PAGCOR selling its Casino Filipino casinos?
PAGCOR plans to privatise the Casino Filipino casinos it runs once its regulatory and commercial functions are separated. At 17 September 2026 the proposal was under review by the Governance Commission for GOCCs, which would endorse it to the Office of the President; an Executive Order would follow only if the President finds merit in it. Revenue from PAGCOR-operated casinos fell 18.12% to PHP 10.38 billion in 2025.

For the Unified Gaming Licence, the application fee is ₱1,200,000 (as of 2 Jul 2026). For the Gaming System Administrator accreditation, the application fee is ₱5,000,000 (as of 2 Jul 2026).
