What Philippines PAGCOR Charter - Presidential Decree 1869 Casino and Gaming Licensing Framework requires
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) was established by Presidential Decree No. 1869 of 1983 (as amended by Republic Act No. 9487 of 2007), which granted PAGCOR a franchise to operate and licence casinos and other games of chance throughout the Philippines. PAGCOR exercises dual roles: it operates its own casino facilities (Casino Filipino network) and acts as the licensing authority for private casino operators (licensed gaming casinos, LGCs) and electronic gaming sites (EGS). PAGCOR is a government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC) under the Office of the President. Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) - online gambling platforms targeting overseas players - operate under PAGCOR regulation with offshore licensing requirements. In 2024, the Philippine government announced the phase-out of POGO licences amid AML and social order concerns. PAGCOR income is remitted to the national government and earmarked for social programmes. AML obligations under Republic Act No. 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act, AMLA) apply to all PAGCOR-licensed casinos.
