The core question around the proposed gambling advertising ban in the Philippines is not just which ads will disappear, but which operators will stay visible. Gaming lawyers in the country warn that the proposals may restrict licensed operators' advertising while offshore sites keep reaching players through private channels. That imbalance could undo recent progress in steering players toward regulated operators.
In South Korea, Paradise Co. reported record casino revenue of $76.9 million in August despite virtually unchanged VIP traffic. In Macau, the gaming regulator said that junkets and concessionaires serve distinct, complementary roles rather than competing with each other.
