MANILA, 23 September 2026 — Arden Consult heads to SBC Summit Lisbon with a clear message for global gaming companies: the Philippine iGaming market is regulated, and it is open to businesses prepared to enter the market properly.
“The Philippines operates one of the region’s most clearly defined gaming regulatory frameworks, and PAGCOR is glad to see Arden Consult carry that story to global companies at SBC Summit Lisbon this September 29 to October 1,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
“We are grateful for Chairman Tengco’s and PAGCOR’s support in communicating the Philippine regulatory story internationally,” said Tonet Quiogue, CEO and Co-Founder of Arden Consult. “There is real opportunity here, but companies need the right license, structure and regulatory strategy,” Quiogue added.
“The regulations are clear. The real risk is getting the wrong advice. Foreign companies should be careful of intermediaries who overcomplicate the process, ask for questionable fees, or promise regulatory outcomes. Market entry should be transparent, properly documented and handled through the correct channels.” — Tonet Quiogue, CEO and Co-Founder at Arden Consult
Arden Consult has advised some of the largest international names in gaming on entering and operating in the Philippines, including on licensing, corporate structuring, regulatory strategy and compliance.
The firm will be at SBC Summit Lisbon from 29 September to 1 October 2026, meeting operators, platforms, suppliers and technology companies exploring the Philippine market.
