The Philippines’ gaming regulator PAGCOR is launching an application to steer online gaming players toward licensed platforms.
PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco told the House Committee on Appropriations that the app, set to launch before the end of this year, aims to strengthen player protection as illegal online gaming platforms continue to proliferate.
“The PAGCOR app has two main objectives: First, to curb illegal online gambling and second, to protect players by ensuring that they play only on platforms licensed and regulated by PAGCOR,” noted the executive.
The initiative builds on PAGCOR’s ongoing efforts with other government agencies to move players toward the regulated market.
