PAGCOR insists spate of illegal online gambling arrests not linked to POGOs
Philippines gaming regulator PAGCOR has issued a statement in response to recent reports of illegal online gaming operations being shut down. This follows increased media scrutiny on the industry and calls from some Philippine politicians to shut it down due to illegal activities.
PAGCOR insists the spate of illegal online gambling arrests not linked to POGOs. PAGCOR has 34 approved PogO operators, 127 accredited service providers and five special class BPOs. PGCCOR is in close coordination with various agencies to effectively determine any illegal offshore gaming operations in the country and thwart kidnapping and human trafficking incidents. The B POPs have to secure offshore game employment licenses and have been ordered to obtain police clearances under stricter rules recently implemented.
