Casinos in Philippines: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Regulation
The Philippines is one of Asia's main gambling hubs with strong regulation. The industry is run by the state corporation PAGCOR, which simultaneously licenses, regulates and itself owns casinos. The land-based sector thrives: the Entertainment City complex in Manila brings together large integrated resorts. Separately there is the Cagayan special economic zone and licences for offshore operations (formerly POGO, aimed at foreign players), the policy on which has been tightening in recent years, up to banning certain segments. For local players, licensed online platforms are available under PAGCOR's oversight. The currency is the Philippine peso; cards, e-wallets (such as GCash) and transfers are used. Players should choose PAGCOR-licensed operators and take into account the changing policy on offshore segments.
