New Online Casinos

Tim Jones, authorBy Tim JonesChecked in Guide

Many players head to new casinos for the best bonuses. But after claiming a welcome bonus, you must meet the site's playthrough requirements before you can withdraw. That sets how much you must gamble on the site first. The Philippine online gaming sector is under pressure, with tighter controls and weaker activity.

No new licences since March 2024

Tengco revealed that PAGCOR had initially licensed 74 online gaming operators, but that number has since dropped to 48. Some licensees kept their licences inactive, hoping to sell them. Tengco sees no need to lift the moratorium on new licenses imposed in March 2024, preferring to consolidate the existing market.

Licensed operators offer a dispute resolution process for customers. Tengco also noted that blocking illegal gaming sites is difficult. PAGCOR's moratorium began when the regulator's board voted in March 2024 for a freeze on new online gaming licences, with no new licences issued.
