PAGCOR considers wider gambling advertising ban in the Philippines
PAGCOR chair Alejandro Tengco told a Senate committee that the regulator is considering a ban on all gambling advertising, while discussions with online gaming operators continue. PAGCOR said it is tightening player-identification requirements and finalising digital advertising rules with the Ad Standards Council; it also plans to enhance responsible-gambling measures before the end of the quarter.
Operators may need to adapt marketing and player identification as PAGCOR considers an advertising ban and tightens requirements.
