PAGCOR: ‘Hacked’ restricted persons in casinos database not a list of gambling addicts
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) clarified that the National Database of Restricted Persons (NDRP) is not a list of gambling addicts but a compilation of individuals barred from gambling, such as government officials.
PAGCOR stated the 'hacked' list did not originate from their website but was likely obtained from a gaming licensee with access to the NDRP for screening purposes.
The database is still undergoing updates and requires additional input from other government agencies.
Currently, the NDRP contains over 560,000 names, primarily elected officials sourced from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) website.
PAGCOR Assistant Vice President Ma. Vina Claudette Oca noted that the NDRP also includes 1,711 banned individuals, comprising those subject to self-exclusion, family exclusion, or licensee-initiated exclusions, who are not necessarily addicts or government officials.
