Philippine gaming regulator PAGCOR has defended its revamped regulatory framework amid an accusation by veteran igaming executive Harmen Brenninkmeijer that the country’s “complicated and inconsistent” gaming regulations are preventing major suppliers from entering the market.
In a lively clash with PAGCOR’s Assistant Vice President of the Remote Operations and Ancillary Services Department, Jessa Mariz R. Fernandez, during a panel session at the inaugural CiG iDEA Summit – hosted by Complete iGaming – at Manila’s Newport World Resorts on Monday, Brenninkmeijer argued that international operators have no objection to regulation but desire a system that is substantially similar to those they experience in other large gaming markets around the world.
