MANILA, Philippines — State gaming regulator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) will start collecting a minimum guaranteed fee (MGF) per month on all accredited online gambling operators next year. In a Dec. 15 memorandum, PAGCOR said all of its online gaming system administrators (GSAs) and gaming venue operators (GVOs) operating e-games will be charged the monthly MGF based on their minimum gross gaming revenue (GGR) per month. PAGCOR’s accredited GSAs remit a share of their GGRs as a requirement for their accreditation or authority to operate. “The imposition of the MGF shall take effect on all transactions commencing April 1, 2026, for GSAs with operational status,” Fernandez said in the memo.
