Philippine Gaming Revenue Remains Stable in Q3 2025 Amid Online Gaming Reforms

(Manila).- The country’s gaming industry held steady in the third quarter of 2025 as operators adjusted to ongoing online gaming reforms and tighter regulations on digital payment systems.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) said the Electronic Games (E-Games) segment remained the strongest performer, rising 17.4% to Php41.95 billion from Php35.71 billion year-on-year.
PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco noted, however, that the E-Games growth was mainly due to strong July 2025 numbers as revenues in August and September declined following the mandatory delinking of e-wallets from legitimate gaming platforms.
“The figures reflect an industry that is adjusting to necessary safeguards,” he said.
“The delinking of e-wallets resulted in a short-term decline in activity toward the latter part of the quarter,” he said. “However, these measures are vital to protect players and ensure secure, transparent transactions.”
He also cautioned that while legitimate operators strictly comply with the new rules, illegal online gaming sites continue to expand aggressively, putting players at risk.
“These unauthorized platforms do not follow responsible gaming standards, do not pay taxes, and put players at risk of data theft and fraud,” Mr. Tengco said. “We urge the public to avoid illegal sites and to engage only with PAGCOR-licensed platforms.”
Outside of E-Games, all other gaming segments registered lower earnings during the third quarter.
