Evolving technologies pose threats to legal gaming industry
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is intensifying its campaign to combat illegal gaming operators by emphasizing the importance of education in promoting responsible gambling and protecting legitimate businesses.
PAGCOR Vice President Dr. Angelito Domingo explained at the Asia-Pacific Regulators' Forum that a three-part strategy is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the gaming sector.
This strategy addresses the 'perfect storm' of threats to the legal gaming industry, which are driven by technology, criminal motives, and public outcry.
The core components of PAGCOR's approach involve educating players, training operators, and engaging the public to mitigate the risks associated with illegal online gambling.
The ultimate goal is to foster a collaborative environment where all stakeholders, including regulators, operators, law enforcement, NGOs, the community, and players, actively participate in ensuring a secure gaming landscape.
