What happened

Casino Plus, a PAGCOR-licensed online casino operator, has launched a short-form video series as part of a digital engagement and player acquisition push. The content is designed for platforms where short-form video dominates, including TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The format is entertainment-coded, meaning it resembles lifestyle or branded content rather than traditional gambling advertising.

Casino Plus' Short-Form Video Is a Great Acquisition Channel, Until a Platform Decides It Isn'tShort-form video is one of the last channels where a gambling brand can get real organic reach without paying platform ad premiums.

  2. Ivana Alawi giveaway triggers formal influencer guidanceCICP issuing public guidance on a specific influencer's viral post is a regulatory escalation, not a general reminder. When a named creator and a named post draw a formal response, every brand and operator running influencer campaigns in the Philippines has to treat their current activity as already under review. The practical exposure here is for operators who have active ambassador or giveaway mechanics on Instagram or TikTok where the gambling connection is soft-coded rather than explicitly disclosed. Audit your influencer contracts now for disclosure requirements, and brief your partners on what compliant content looks like before the next viral post triggers something more than guidance.Regulatory
  3. Google unlocks PH iGaming ad inventory nowGoogle expanding its ad policy to allow online gambling and social casino promotions in the Philippines is the most actionable item of the day for any operator running paid acquisition. This is not a future change: the policy shift means campaigns that were previously restricted can now run on Google Search, Display, and YouTube targeting Philippine users, subject to PAGCOR license certification. Media buyers should submit their gambling advertiser certification immediately, review existing campaign structures for compliance with Google's certificate requirements, and prepare creative assets, because the first movers into this newly opened inventory will buy at lower CPMs before competitors saturate it.Regulatory
