Philippine gaming regulator PAGCOR has reiterated its commitment to addressing problem gambling with the launch of a 24/7 problem gambling helpline, set to debut next year.
Speaking at G2E Asia, Assistant Vice President of PAGCOR’s Gaming Licensing and Development Department, Vina Claudette Oca, emphasized that the helpline would protect players and enhance public trust in PAGCOR.
Oca added that PAGCOR is already working to promote responsible gambling, as calls for tighter regulations on online gambling increase.
She noted that the regulator is currently working with the Advertising Standards Council to regulate gambling advertisements across all social media platforms.
