Hello!

The Philippines is one of Asia’s most experienced gambling markets, yet its potential for online poker remains difficult to assess. Regulatory updates and market reports provide useful context, but they rarely answer the main business question: is this market actually worth exploring?

In this article, Ivan Shumilov, Regional Market Lead for Asia at EvenBet Gaming, looks beyond the official data and shares his observations on:

  • How the post-POGO regulatory landscape affects online poker businesses
  • The key risks operators should consider before entering the market
  • Why limited poker-specific data may hide untapped potential
  • How local gambling culture shapes player behavior
  • Which modern poker formats may better fit local expectations

Discover why online poker in the Philippines may be more promising than it first appears.
