Para matigil na ang umano'y pang-aabuso at pambabastos sa batas at sistema sa Pilipinas, idineklara ni Pangulong Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. ang 'ban' sa lahat ng Philippine offshore gaming operators o POGO sa bansa.
Sa kaniyang ikatlong State of the Nation Address , tinukoy ni Marcos ang koneksyon ng mga ilegal na POGO sa bansa sa mga panloloko, money laundering, prostitusyon, human trafficking, kidnapping, torture, at pagpatay.
Nitong nakaraang Linggo, inirekomenda ni Finance Secretary Ralph Recto ang total ban ng mga operasyon ng POGO dahil sa mga isyung nakapalibot sa industriya. Inatasan niya rin ang Department of Labor and Employment na hanapan ng bagong trabaho ang mga Pilipinong mawawalan ng trabaho. Inilahad sa isang pag-aaral ng Philippine Institute for Development Studies na kailangan nang magdesisyon ng gobyerno kung ipagbabawal ang mga POGO.
Nauna na ring sinabi ni Marcos na posibleng hindi na pahintulutan ang POGOs kung magdudulot ito ng pinsala sa lipunan.
