No online gambling liberalisation is foreseeable. The FATF grey-listing (February 2025) is driving tightening rather than opening, and the proposed Integrated Tourism Bill would further restrict the land-based casino framework — capping foreign ownership at 49%, requiring hotels to own at least 10% of on-premises casinos, making licences location-specific and non-transferable, and pushing the minimum border distance to 5 km. The APG's May 2026 intervention and the decisive September 2026 review mean continued international pressure and blacklisting risk.
