Philippine gross gaming revenue is expected to fall by 19% in 2026, according to the country’s gaming regulator PAGCOR.

Speaking at the SiGMA Asia Summit on Tuesday, PAGCOR Chief Executive Alejandro Tengco said revenue could fall to around PHP320 (US$5.20).

According to Business World, Tengco said the decline is being driven by weaker online gaming activity and ongoing economic pressures. He also cited the removal of links between e-wallet services and online gambling platforms following an order from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in August.
