Violet WoolfThe current state of the Philippine offshore gaming sector after the POGO ban
|The Ban
The Marcos administration ban on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators, implemented in 2024 following national security concerns, money laundering allegations, and specific criminal cases associated with POGO compounds, has produced the specific economic and real estate adjustment that removing approximately 40,000 to 50,000 foreign workers and their associated economic activity from the Philippine economy produces.
The Adjustment
The specific office and residential real estate markets in the areas where POGO operations were most concentrated have experienced vacancy increases and rental rate declines. The workers who were employed in POGO operations have left the country or transitioned to other employment. The specific criminal operations that were embedded in the POGO sector have required the specific law enforcement response.
