Meanwhile, GSAs without electronic casino games and with minimum P15 million GGR per month will pay P3 million MGF monthly.
In the second phase starting October 1, 2026, GSAs with electronic casino games and with minimum P35 million GGR per month will pay P10.5 million MGF, while without electronic casino games with P20 million GGR per month will be charged P4 million MGF.
