Yes! Established in 2016, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees both land-based and offshore gaming in the Philippines.
To operate legally, companies must obtain a specific license and pay the requisite fee, adhering to PAGCOR’s guidelines and safeguarding Filipino interests.
The Philippines stands out as the sole Asian nation licensing online operators, subject to stringent regulations. Many top casinos in the Philippines operate offshore.
PAGCOR’s mission includes eradicating pre-2016 illegal gambling operations, focusing on Philippine licensing for online casinos, government oversight, and promoting responsible gambling and safety.
