Here in the Philippines, online casino's are being shut down by the Government because they cannot collect proper taxes to it. Hence, they are required to have a license first before they can operate such gambling site.
Doesn't matter.They can still run the gambling site online which wouldn't be affiliated with with Philippines as the region.They can register domain names or change the ownership of the site to an individual who is based in a country where it's legal.Do gambling sites even pay taxes ? I don't have much idea about that...
