10JILI and iGaming Philippines: Who Regulates What, and Where You Fit
iGaming Philippines is split between PAGCOR (licensing and gaming revenue), the BSP (payments) and the Ad Standards Council (advertising).

iGaming Philippines is not one rulebook. It is three layers that move at different speeds: PAGCOR licenses the operators, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) controls how money reaches them, and the Ad Standards Council decides what they may show you. This page maps each layer with figures from the regulators’ own releases, so you can read a lobby such as 10JILI against the market instead of against its own homepage.
Who regulates iGaming Philippines: the layers in one table
| Layer | Body | What it controls | Where you read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensing | PAGCOR | Electronic (eCasino) games, e-bingo, sports betting, online poker, numeric and specialty games | pagcor.ph, Electronic Gaming Licensing Department page |
| Payments | BSP | What supervised banks and e-wallets may offer for gambling | BSP Memorandum M-2025-029, bsp.gov.ph |
| Advertising | Ad Standards Council with PAGCOR | Pre-screening of gambling ads and what they may depict | PAGCOR headline of 16 July 2025, ASC Circular 2026-008 |
| Law | Congress and the President | The offshore ban and any future online gambling bill | Executive Order No. 74, Republic Act No. 12312 |
PAGCOR’s Electronic Gaming Licensing Department lists eight licence categories, from traditional bingo to online poker. Nothing on that page defines the categories in legal terms, so the department’s yearly reports are where you read what each one earned.
The Philippine casino industry by segment, 2025
The Philippine casino industry now earns more from screens than from floors. PAGCOR’s release of 16 April 2026 reports the following industry gross gaming revenue (GGR) for calendar year 2025.
| Segment | 2025 GGR | Change vs 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic and online gaming | PHP201.12 billion | +30.04% (from PHP154.66 billion) |
| Licensed casinos | PHP182.50 billion | -9.58% (from PHP201.84 billion) |
| PAGCOR-operated casinos | PHP12.52 billion | -20.95% |
| Industry total | PHP396.14 billion | +6.39% (from PHP372.33 billion) |
Electronic and online gaming took 50.77% of the total and overtook licensed casinos as the largest contributor. PAGCOR’s chairman said online gaming “has become the leading driver of overall GGR growth”. The same release notes a temporary dip in electronic gaming revenue in the third quarter of 2025 after e-wallet de-linking.
Online gambling Philippines statistics you can quote
Statistics travel badly between websites, so quote only figures that carry a period and a source. These four are the ones worth keeping.
- PHP154.51 billion: 2024 GGR from e-games and e-bingo, up 165.66% from PHP58.16 billion in 2023, per PAGCOR’s release of 9 April 2025. The 2026 release restates the 2024 segment as PHP154.66 billion, so always quote the release you are reading.
- PHP372.33 billion: 2024 industry GGR excluding offshore gaming. PAGCOR’s April 2025 release adds PHP38.14 billion from offshore gaming, which brings the figure with offshore to PHP410.47 billion.
- PHP396.14 billion: 2025 industry GGR, the latest full-year figure in PAGCOR’s release of 16 April 2026.
- 50.77%: the share of 2025 GGR that electronic and online gaming produced.
For the corporation’s own earnings, which are a different number from industry GGR, use the PAGCOR revenue figures page.
How POGOs left the iGaming Philippines picture
The offshore sector is the part of iGaming Philippines that the state removed outright. Four dates carry the story.
- 22 July 2024: President Marcos announced the ban in his State of the Nation Address.
- 5 November 2024: Executive Order No. 74 banned offshore gaming and set 31 December 2024 as the last day of operations.
- 31 December 2024: the cessation deadline in the order.
- 23 October 2025: Republic Act No. 12312, the Anti-POGO Act of 2025, was approved and repealed Republic Act No. 11590, the law that had taxed offshore gaming.
The POGO ban Philippines timeline explains the terms, the definitions in the order and what the ban leaves untouched for a Filipino player.
Ads and payments: what changed for players in 2025 and 2026
Two rule sets touch you directly, because they shape what you see and how you fund an account.
| Date | Rule | Issuer |
|---|---|---|
| 16 July 2025 | Branded gambling ads across television, radio, online and outdoor media are pre-screened | PAGCOR and the Ad Standards Council |
| 15 August 2025 | Deadline to remove gambling billboards and public transport ads | PAGCOR |
| 14 August 2025 | Supervised institutions told to remove in-app gambling links within 48 hours | BSP, Monetary Board Resolution No. 805 |
| 24 June 2026 | Ads may not show or mention roulette, baccarat, blackjack, slot machines, cards, chips or dice | Ad Standards Council |
The first, second and fourth rows are unpacked in the guide to gambling ads Philippines rules. For the rails a lobby can use, read the hub on casino payment methods in the Philippines.
Where a lobby like 10JILI sits in iGaming Philippines
10JILI is a player-facing lobby at 10jili.im, and this site is a player guide to it, not the lobby itself. Its About Us page describes a legally registered gaming company in the Philippines but names no regulator, entity or licence number, and PAGCOR is not mentioned anywhere on the lobby. Its page titles and About Us use template wording such as “Okada or Solaire Online Casino”, and nothing on the lobby shows a relationship with either resort.
| What you read on a lobby | What it tells you | How you check it |
|---|---|---|
| A registration claim with no regulator named | The lobby describes itself; it points to no record | Look the operating entity and brand up on PAGCOR’s published lists |
| Template wording | The lobby software shipped with it | Read what a casino platform provider is |
| A cashier with deposit and withdrawal rules | The terms you accept | Read them before you deposit, then compare with how to judge whether 10JILI is legit |
PAGCOR publishes a list of accredited gaming system administrators with their registered brands, dated 4 December 2025. You match a brand against that list yourself.
Play at 21 or over, and know the tools
PAGCOR’s responsible gaming page bars persons under 21, government officials and employees, AFP and PNP members, and persons in the National Database of Restricted Persons from gambling. Use the tools it names.
- Self-exclusion: the online portal at www.osea.pagcor.ph.
- Help: the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 0919 170 0788 or (02) 8248 9568.
- Peer support: Gamblers Anonymous Philippines at 0915 938 2808.
Read the responsible gaming tools page before you set a deposit budget. The lobby shows a Cockfighting tab, and the law on that topic sits in its own explainer, the 10JILI sabong guide.

Can I use an e-wallet at an online casino?
In August 2025 the BSP told supervised institutions to remove in-app gambling links from mobile payment apps and websites within 48 hours, pending a policy on online gambling payment services.

How do I check a lobby before I sign up?
Ask which entity runs it, look that entity and its brand up on PAGCOR's published lists, and read the terms on the cashier pages. You must be 21 or older to gamble in the Philippines, and PAGCOR's self-exclusion portal is at www.osea.pagcor.ph.
