Philippine senators propose tighter online gambling rules and a ban
Philippine senators proposed measures to restrict online gambling, including a bill seeking to prohibit licensed online betting platforms, apps and websites. A separate proposal would bar e-wallet use for betting and require a PHP10,000 minimum cash-in. PAGCOR said it would implement any measures passed by Congress and signed by the president; the proposals had not become law.
The proposals could change whether licensed operators can offer online gambling and which payment methods they may accept in the Philippines.
