The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) published a list of 259 licensees for gaming venue operations as of August 31, 2026, through its Electronic Gaming Licensing Department1. The document states that the entities on the list are licensees or operators for domestic land-based gaming venues1.

PAGCOR describes the listed operators as offering single or multiple game offerings approved by the regulator, naming Traditional Games, Electronic Bingo Games, Electronic Casino Games, Sports Betting, Specialty Games, Numeric Games and Online Poker Games1. The list carries two qualifications:

"They are not licensed to operate offshore gaming operations or POGO."

"The above list however does not certify that each offers all PAGCOR-approved game offerings."

The list runs to 259 numbered entries. Among the named operators are:

OperatorEntry number
128 Gaming Corp.1
Bloomberry Resorts & Hotels Inc.39
Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc.236
Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc.243
YYK Enterprises Incorporated259

The document gives PAGCOR's address as Central Business Park 1-A, MET LIVE BUILDING, Macapagal Boulevard cor. EDSA Extension, Pasay City 1300, and an email address for eGaming licensing inquiries, eGaming_Licensing@pagcor.ph1.

A separate PAGCOR document, dated August 27, 2026, lists accredited gaming affiliates under two headings, Game Content Providers and Game Aggregators2. The content provider entries pair each company with game offerings, and some carry an asterisk that the document explains as game offerings that have yet to commence commercial operations, or the company itself having yet to commence commercial operations2. Named providers include AB Leisure Exponent, Inc. for Traditional Bingo Games and Electronic Casino Games, Bloomberry Resorts & Hotels, Inc. (Solaire Resort and Casino) for Specialty Games, Light and Wonder Services Philippines, Inc. for Electronic Casino Games, and Marboys88 Corporation for Sports Betting2. A column marks which providers have a live dealer gaming studio set-up2.

What it means for players

The venue list is a register of who holds a PAGCOR license for domestic land-based gaming, not a statement about what any individual venue offers. PAGCOR states the list does not certify that each operator offers all approved game offerings, so a venue's actual games have to be checked at the venue or with the operator1. The list also states the named entities are not licensed for offshore gaming operations or POGO, which separates them from the offshore sector1.

For anyone checking a license, the two documents cover different things: the venue list covers operators of land-based venues, while the affiliates list covers companies accredited to supply game content or aggregate games1. The affiliate list flags entries that have not started commercial operations, so an accreditation entry does not by itself mean a product is live2.

What happens next

No further steps are set out in either document. The venue list is dated as of August 31, 2026, and the affiliates list as of August 27, 2026, and both are presented as current registers rather than announcements of changes1.
