Our History

Who we are

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is a 100 percent government-owned and controlled corporation under the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines.

The Corporation was created during the Martial Law years by virtue of a Presidential Decree (PD1067-A) issued by then President Ferdinand Marcos in response to calls for the Philippine Government to put a stop to the growing proliferation of illegal casino operations in various parts of the country then. The law creating PAGCOR was later amended and consolidated under PD 1869 otherwise known as the PAGCOR Charter.

Tue | 10.29.2024 | 2:30 PM

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) announced today that its revenues for the first nine months of the year have reached Php79.43 billion, up 42% from the Php55.95 billion revenues year-on-year.

The state gaming agency’s notable performance, according to PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco, was again driven by the robust Electronic Games sector followed by the country’s licensed casinos and integrated resorts.

“The Electronic Games sector alone contributed Php28.22 billion or 35.52% to the gaming revenue pie, followed by the licensed casino sector which chipped in 30.84% or Php24.50 billion from licensee fees,” he said.

Net income for the first nine months, meanwhile, was at Php9.63 billion, nearly double last year’s Php4.85 billion.

“Our third quarter performance is a strong indication that in spite of the President’s decision to ban offshore gaming operations in the country...

PAGCOR’s massive relief drive for Kristine-hit areas underway

Sat | 10.26.2024 | 8:30 AM

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR’s) massive relief drive for areas affected by Tropical Storm Kristine has begun in earnest, sending out an initial 5,000 relief packs on Thursday from a total of 53,000 packs it has prepared.

The relief packs will be dispatched to hard-hit communities in the Bicol Region, Northern Luzon and CALABARZON, said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco.

“Many of the major roads to these areas were not passable at the height of Kristine’s onslaught so we had to wait a bit for the floods to subside, but were able to ship out the first batch of relief items even while the storm was still lashing out parts of the country.”

The City of Lipa in Batangas was the first to receive relief aid from the state gaming agency on the night of October 24, as roads there were already passable. The city government received 2,000 food and non-food packs for distribution to affected locals.

PAGCOR slams disinformation on POGO closure order

Sat | 7.27.2024 | 1:30 PM

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today flagged a disinformation campaign through a memorandum purportedly ordering local government units to immediately terminate the operations of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators or POGOs by August, saying that the memo was fake.

Atty. Jessa Mariz Fernandez, head of PAGCOR’s Offshore Gaming Licensing Department, said the supposed memo to LGUs in Metro Manila dated July 26 was a forged version of an earlier memorandum she issued last July 23, a day after the President’s State of the Nation Address.

“We have not issued a memorandum ordering LGUs to immediately close down POGO operations in their jurisdiction because the President’s order is very clear: We have until the end of the year to wind down POGO operations, and we will follow that,” Atty. Fernandez said.

The fake memo was telling select LGUs in Metro Manila to terminate POGO operations “within the first week of August”.

“This is a clear disinformation intended to create chaos and confusion,” she said. “Whoever is behind this clearly has ulterior motives, and we shall ask the National Bureau of Investigation...”

Sat | 7.27.2024 | 11:00 AM

Barely two years at the helm of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco has been recognized as a game changer and was thus chosen as one of the “Men Who Matter” awardees this year.

The annual awards ceremony, organized by PeopleAsia Magazine, recognizes and pays tribute to the country’s outstanding men who made a mark in their respective fields while giving back to society.

Mr. Tengco’s tenacity to lead PAGCOR and transform it into a better and more responsive government organization was cited by the award-giving body which commended his drive to increase the agency’s “net income by 53 percent, its revenues by 34.6 percent and its contribution to nation-building by 43 percent” in the first half of the year.

In his acceptance speech, Chairman Tengco said he now has an even bigger task to accomplish after he was instructed by the President to wind down the operations of all Philippine offshore gaming operators or POGOs in the country by the end of the year.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today announced that its net income for the first half of 2024 has reached Php6.56 billion, up by 121.48% from its net income of Php2.96 billion in the same period last year.

PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco said the robust income growth of the state gaming firm is a testament to the positive result of the reforms and enhanced regulations being implemented under the new administration.

“PAGCOR’s robust net income growth translates of course to a larger Contribution to Nation-Building,” he said. “We were able to remit Php31.82 billion in CNB to the Treasury in the first six months compared to Php22.62 billion in the same period last year.”

Integrated resorts fuel economy, local tourism - PAGCOR

Mon | 6.24.2024 | 1:00 PM

The country’s integrated resorts and casinos remain as one of the main growth drivers of local tourism, in the process creating a multiplier effect across various industries, according to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation.

This was emphasized by Ma. Vina Claudette Oca, PAGCOR Assistant Vice President for Gaming Licensing and Development Department, during a panel discussion at the 1st Philippine Tourism and Hotel Investment Summit held over the weekend.

Oca, one of the panelists on the topic, “Navigating Challenges and Opportunities for Casino Hotels in the Philippines”, said casinos are just a small component of the many attractions offered by integrated resorts in the country.

She said that this is because PAGCOR mandates all integrated resorts to offer more non-gaming attractions and resort facilities, including dining and shopping destinations.

“In fact, they are only allowed to allocate 7.5% of their facility’s total floor area to gaming,” she said. “The rest of the floor area is allocated for non-gaming facilities such as hotel rooms, retail areas, dining and other attractions.”

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today said the country’s Gross Gaming Revenues (GGR) in the first quarter of the year reached Php81.70 billion, an 18.54% increase from the Php68.92 billion in the same quarter last year.

The latest GGR is another new record, sustaining an upward trend for the local gaming industry since the post-pandemic recovery started in the last quarter of 2022.

PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said the Electronic Games (E-Games) sector continues its record-breaking performance, bringing in Php22.5 billion or more than six times the 2023 first quarter revenues of Php3.5 billion.

“The E-Games revenue performance continues to exceed our projections, and this reflects how gaming technology and the proliferation of mobile devices is influencing not only our daily lives but our entertainment choices as well,” he said.

“With the way technology is constantly shaping our lives and the way we do business, and even the way we choose to be entertained, the future of gaming clearly lies in this sector,” Mr. Tengco added.

The PAGCOR chief said the state-run gaming agency’s improved regulatory policies and reduced fees also contributed to the success of the E-Games sector.

Casino Financing is a colloquial term used to describe overly risky investment or trades. This type of investing is akin to gambling, where investors hope to hit the proverbial lottery with their investments. These investments often refer to large "bets" that are typically high risk, with an anticipated high potential reward outcome. However, as with betting at a casino, the investor could lose it all.
An example of a common scheme is that a scam operator and their agents will claim that a casino granted them VIP rooms or junket arrangements, and that they need to raise money to do casino financing for their VIP guests from any foreign country. Investors then place money, sign contracts of loan for a lock-in period of twelve (12) months or more, and get postdated checks. This is a kind of Ponzi scheme wherein the money of the new investors is used to pay off the investments of the earlier investors.
