Absolutely! Established in 2016, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees both offshore and land-based gaming activities in the Philippines.
To operate legally in the country, operators must obtain a specific license and fulfill the requisite fees. Once licensed, operators are expected to adhere to PAGCOR’s standards and safeguard the interests of Filipino players.
The Philippines stands out as the sole Asian nation licensing online operators, with stringent regulations in place. Many top-tier casinos in the Philippines operate offshore.
PAGCOR’s mission includes eradicating illegal gambling operations existing before 2016, with a focus on:
– Philippine Licensing for Online Casinos
– Government Oversight
– Responsible Gambling & Safety
