Gambling in the Philippines is generally restricted by government laws. Illegal forms of gambling include jueteng, masiao and last two.[1] Street games such as Bingo, Tong-its, and Pusoy Dos are also considered part of gambling.[citation needed]

There are no laws prohibiting online gambling in particular, therefore legal.[2] On his first cabinet meeting on June 30, 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte wants to stop online gambling and revoke all licenses to regulators and operators in the future.[3]

The Philippine government owns Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, a gaming company. Charity sweepstakes and lotteries (including online Keno) are also managed by the government through the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.[4]
