The Philippines topped the Blask Index in September, surpassing even Brazil, after 87% annual growth in search demand, according to the firm’s recent update.

“The Philippines became the largest market by iGaming search demand among countries tracked by Blask in September 2026. It finished ahead of Brazil and India, reversing the pattern seen throughout the first eight months of the year, when Brazilian demand consistently exceeded Philippine levels,” indicated the group.

However, the group notes that “the change at the top does not extend to revenue estimates. Brazil’s September CEB (competitive earning baseline), Blask’s projected revenue metric, was 53% higher than the Philippine figure.
