There is a big possibility that they are still operating in the Philippines. I think no matter how great the casinos operating in any country are, if they commit criminal acts and violate the law in that country, of course closing the gambling place is the best solution to take.
It’s possible, but not on a large-scale operation anymore. They were able to scam a lot of money before because they had a large number of employees, and it was easy for them to recruit since they had a license to operate. Now, if they still insist on operating illegally, their impact likely won’t be as significant, and it wouldn’t result in scams worth millions of dollars.
If you know the gambling industry very well, how they operate and people's complaints about them, you will hardly see a saint among them and they still continue to operate, but if the government cares, they will force them to do the needful. For this, I was surprised you said they were able to scam people because they have a large number of employees, I don't see that correlation. They do that because they are either not regulated or underregulated, period! And this can't be done alone, the government must be complicit in this as well, at least the former authorities to have aided them in such acts for years.
