Philippines Live Casinos

Since Philippine gambling laws restrict locally based gambling operators from offering their services to locals, Filipinos are free to access legal live casinos through offshore gambling sites. Nearly all major casino sites will not restrict Filipinos from entering their platforms, but there are a few things they ought to know. The local currency, the Philippine Peso (PHP) is not accepted, so players residing within the archipelago need to choose from some of the supported common currencies such as USD, AUD or CAD or resort to cryptocurrencies where possible (Bitcoin, Dash, Litecoin, Ethereum). As for payment options, credit and debit cards, as well as wire transfers, prepaid options and e-wallets are widely accepted.

Online gambling regulation in the Philippines

In the Philippines, games of chance and gambling on number games are regulated activities and under the direct supervision of centralized government agencies. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the most notable of them all, as it licenses casinos, gaming clubs, and other similar recreational facilities such as slot parlours, bingo halls and e-games cafés. Next, we have the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO), a Philippine-based operator which offers sports betting and other games of chance to offshore gamers, but not Filipinos. From a legislative perspective, there is no law that makes it illegal for citizens to participate in licensed and regulated online gambling which includes live dealer games. As long as you are placing bets at a legally licensed and regulated live dealer casino that is located outside of the country, then you are acting completely within the law.
