POGO ban
On July 22nd, 2024, the Philippines’ President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced a ban on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), starting from year-end, during his latest State of the Nation Address. The POGO ban came at the end of a SONA that appeared well-received and focused on the economy and tourism. The ban just affected POGOs and not PIGOs or other land-based operations legally targeting the country.
