Referring to this thread, Engineers, DPWH Bulacan officials blew 300m each in casinos?, it's not a secret already that in the Philippines, some government officials and employees can lurk in physical casinos despite the 2016 Memorandum Circular No. 06, which prohibits government officials from gambling in casinos, and Article 178 of the Revised Penal Code, which bans the public use of a false name to conceal a crime.

Established legal physical casinos here in PH are aware of that memorandum, and as a solid established business, they are following it. However, at some point, they can't determine right away if one of their customers is a government-affiliated person because of these people's trick to not be recognized easily, as they will just act as a normal customer.

How about in other gambling-friendly countries? Like those countries that are popularly known for having big physical casinos.

Do they allow government officials to enter gambling premises?

Even if the government are banned from gambling on physical casino it will not take them up to five minutes to create an online bet account and gamble from there. If they don't want to use their document for KYC verification, they just have to ask and they will get some from people because many people will be willing to give the government their documents if money is involved.
