PAGCOR 2025 revenues fall 5% to Php106.03B as land-based earnings soften
Fri | 01.30.2026 | 3:00 PM
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today reported total revenues of Php106.03 billion in 2025, down 5.09% from Php111.72 billion in 2024, as earnings from land-based casinos declined and offshore gaming was no longer in the revenue mix.
Revenues from gaming operations amounted to Php95.15 billion, slightly lower than the Php97.53 billion recorded in 2024.
Other revenue streams, including interest earnings, income, and service fees, contributed an additional Php10.88 billion.

PH highlights regulatory reforms at ICE Barcelona 2026
Wed | 01.21.2026 | 2:00 PM
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation emphasized the importance of robust and effective regulatory enforcement to sustain growth in the online gaming sector during a gathering of global industry leaders at ICE Barcelona 2026 in Spain.
PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said the rapid expansion of digital gaming has reshaped the industry, erasing borders, accelerating innovation, and exposing regulatory gaps that traditional systems were not designed to manage.
“The greatest threat to both regulators and licensed operators is not higher standards,” Mr. Tengco told an international audience of regulators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. “It is the continued presence of illegal and unregulated actors that undermines trust and distorts competition.”
Mr. Tengco cited the Philippines’ recent regulatory reset as an example of how jurisdictions must respond decisively to emerging risks.
He pointed to the government’s decision to ban Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGOs), a policy fully enforced by the end of 2024, after offshore gaming was linked to criminal activities...

PAGCOR enhances responsible gaming safeguards amid digital play growth
Wed | 12.10.2025 | 2:00 PM
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) said it has intensified its responsible gaming measures as the country’s digital gaming market continues to grow, Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said Wednesday.
Speaking at the G2E Asia @ the Philippines 2025 in Pasay City, the PAGCOR chief said the new financial safeguards include the delinking of e-wallets and certain payment channels to strengthen integrity and player protection across the fast-growing online sector.
Mr. Tengco said the transition to tighter payment controls has prompted operators and players to recalibrate, resulting in softer revenues in the latter part of the third quarter of this year.
He said the measure is essential to improve traceability, reinforce anti-money laundering protections, and curb illicit financial activity.
“In recent months, most of you are aware that our industry has confronted severe headwinds,” he said. "These reforms inevitably have short-term impacts that are necessary because we cannot build a modern digital gaming ecosystem on foundations that do not fully meet global integrity and compliance standards...”

Thu | 11.27.2025 | 5:00 PM
The country’s E-Games and E-Bingo operators are navigating a difficult but necessary transition toward stricter safeguards and more transparent operations that help shape a more responsible industry, PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said.
Speaking during a gathering of the Association of Independent Licensed Gaming and Amusement Operators, Inc. (AILGAO) in Muntinlupa City on Wednesday, Mr. Tengco acknowledged that recent reforms have prompted adjustments across the E-Games sector.
He cited in particular the mandatory de-linking of e-wallets from online gaming platforms which he said is intended to strengthen the credibility of legitimate operators while preventing potential harm on young and vulnerable players.
“You may be interested to know that in the third quarter of 2025, we recorded an industry GGR that was a bit lower than last year,” The PAGCOR chief said. “But this reflects an industry transitioning to stronger and safer practices.”
He noted that the E-Games and E-Bingo segment still grew 17.4 percent in the third quarter compared with the same period last year, but admitted that the de-linking policy triggered a temporary GGR decline in August and September.

The Philippine gaming industry posted Php94.51 billion in gross gaming revenues (GGR) in the third quarter of 2025, a slight dip from the Php94.61 billion a year earlier as the industry adjusts to online reforms and tighter rules on digital payments.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) said the Electronic Games (E-Games) segment remained the strongest performer, rising 17.4% to Php41.95 billion from Php35.71 billion year-on-year.
“The figures reflect an industry that is adjusting to necessary safeguards,” he said.

PAGCOR Exec: Evolving technologies pose threats to legal gaming industry
Thu | 9.15.2025 | 2:00 PM
An official of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) said the local gaming industry must recognize that technological advances are fueling an unstable environment where illegal operators can thrive while legitimate businesses struggle.
Speaking at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Regulators’ Forum on Thursday, September 11, at the Newport World Resorts, PAGCOR Vice President for Human Resource and Development Group Dr. Angelito Domingo said a three-pronged gaming education framework can help address the problem.
“There are three forces – technology as the tool, the criminal divide as the motive, and social impact as the public outcry – that create a perfect storm which threatens the integrity of the legal gaming industry,” he said.
Dr. Domingo said PAGCOR is currently implementing a gaming education framework focused on player education, operator training, and public outreach to counter growing social concerns associated with illegal online gambling.
“This framework envisions stronger collaboration among gaming and financial regulators, licensed operators, law enforcement, non-government organizations, the community, and the players themselves,” he said.
Dr. Domingo noted that the exponential rise of online gaming in the Philippines is driven by the accessibility of technology and Filipinos’ heavy reliance on mobile devices.

Public Advisory on dangers of casino financing
Mon | 2.20.2023
In light of recent events within the casino gaming industry, the public is hereby advised to exercise caution about the dangers of casino financing, especially the junket operations within the Philippines. 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.
