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

There are no laws prohibiting online gambling in particular, therefore legal. 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.

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.
