Philippine lawmaker proposes nationwide online gambling advertising ban
Cebu 3rd District Representative Karen Hope Garcia filed House Bill No. 10982 in the Philippines, proposing a nationwide ban on online gambling advertising, promotions, endorsements and sponsorships. The proposal includes fines of P500,000 to P10 million, possible licence suspension or cancellation and prison terms of up to three years; it has not been enacted.
If enacted, the bill would restrict online gambling marketing and expose operators and other covered parties to penalties.
