The Philippine PAGCOR revealed that revenue from licensed iGaming is one of the largest sources of funding for education, health, and community development programs nationwide.

Key Highlights from the Recent Statement

iGaming in the Philippines: social contribution

The niche generated PHP69 billion (approximately $1.2 billion) in licence fee earnings for the first 7 months of 2025. Of this, about PHP41 billion came from electronic entertainment.

The segment includes:

  • e-bingo;
  • lottery grantees;
  • digital casino products.

A total of PHP27.47 billion was allocated to support various social initiatives in the Asian country.

PAGCOR’s Chairman and CEO commented on the findings, praising the enormous potential of the online gaming sector. In Alejandro Tengco's opinion, the vertical has become an important source of funding for many development projects in the state.

New Initiatives of the Local Authorities

In August, the Philippine Senate began an active discussion of tightening gambling regulations. One of the first steps was a central bank resolution that obliged suppliers of electronic wallets and similar payment systems to remove direct links to gaming platforms.

The measure is related to the growth of the illegal segment. Mr Tengco emphasised that uncertified websites deprive the government of tax revenues and expose residents to numerous risks. In the future, it is planned to strengthen security measures and actively combat offshore online platforms.
