SiGMA Asia 2025 returns to Manila from June 1-4 at the SMX Convention Center, bringing together 20,000+ industry leaders, investors, and innovators for a premier gathering on gaming and emerging technologies in the region. As Asia’s gaming sector continues to grow, this highly anticipated event serves as a hub for networking, knowledge exchange, and business expansion, offering direct access to decision-makers and market opportunities.   Backed by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation), the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority, and Philippine Tourism Promotions Board, the summit drives critical discussions on industry advancements, regulatory developments, and market trends.   With Philippines' gaming market projected to reach US$7.8–8.3 billion in 2025, marking a 17% year-on-year increase, this premier event paves the way for new investments, impactful partnerships, and long-term industry growth.

🚨 Article Alert 🚨 PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco described the Philippine gaming sector as pivotal, noting that the industry had overcome multiple challenges in recent years.  Tengco acknowledged the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) ban as both a challenge and an opportunity, with the POGO ban playing a key role in improving the country’s financial standing. “The ban also played a crucial role in the Philippines’ recent removal from the Financial Action Task Force [FATF] grey list,” Tengco said. He credited the move as proof of the Philippines’ dedication to combating money laundering and enhancing financial system integrity. With increased industry growth, Tengco stressed PAGCOR’s commitment to promoting responsible gaming. “We are strengthening our responsible gaming programs and will require licensees to allocate part of their GGR for nation-building projects,” he said. Tengco assured stakeholders that market integrity and responsible gaming remain priorities. “Indeed, the best days of Philippine gaming are still ahead of us,” Tengco concluded.

Frank Schuengel, eGaming Licencing Specialist at Manavia Limited, highlighted the global shift away from grey markets in the iGaming sector. “These days, more and more countries are introducing their own licences,” Schuengel said, attributing this trend to governments realising the financial benefits of regulation. In his speech at the ASEAN Gaming Summit in Manila, Philippines, Schuengel said that while some nations have successfully implemented effective regulatory frameworks, others have struggled. Schuengel praised the Philippines’ balanced approach, describing it as a “good example to follow for other Asian nations and certainly other nations around the world.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eQH6HDmp
