PAGCOR CEO Alejandro Tengco said: \u201cThe increase in electronic gaming revenues shows how the industry has evolved. Online gaming is no longer a supplementary segment but has now become the leading driver of overall GGR growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tengco added that electronic gaming revenue growth came despite a slump in the third quarter of 2025 following the de-linking of e-wallets<\/a>, which disrupted player access and payment channels. He said the adjustments in digital payment systems were implemented to improve transaction traceability, protect players, and strengthen confidence in regulated online gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 2025 GGR performance underscores the importance of regulatory balance<\/strong> as the industry evolves,\u201d PAGCOR chief said. \u201cOur objective is not simply to grow revenues, but to ensure that growth is sustainable, transparent, and compliant because of a stronger regulatory environment that supports the long-term stability of the gaming industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
