The Player’s Experience on Unregulated Online Gambling Platforms

Unregulated online gambling platforms continue to attract Filipino players, yet much of what is known about them has been based on assumptions. This study explores the realities from the player’s perspective—who they are, why they play, and how they perceive fairness, safety, and risk.

Using survey data and predictive modeling, it examines how factors such as game variety, promotions, safeguards, and problem resolution shape player decisions to stay or leave. The findings show that confidence, perceived fairness, and financial outcomes weigh more heavily than rules or features in driving behavior.

By grounding the discussion in evidence, this report provides insights into how player perceptions can be influenced, what this means for consumer protection, and where opportunities may lie for policy and regulation.

Always finding better ways to understand the Filipino.

We always explore how the latest technology can be localized for the Filipino context to gain deeper insights and better information. Here’s an example: a GPT we trained to serve as an alternative to interviewers and surveys, capable of speaking the native language. This helped us eliminate interviewer bias and fatigue, allowing our researchers to focus on what they do best—analysis.

For our clients, this means faster turnaround times, greater scalability, and deeper understanding, as interviewees can now express themselves in their own language, with nuances preserved.
