The Philippine Gaming and Amusement Corp. (Pagcor) hopes to collect at least P2.5 billion more from Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) for the rest of this year once they resume full operations. According to her, the state-run company already collected P1.8 billion in obligation and processing fees from POGOs from January to March 18. To date, there are 60 licensed POGO operators and some 237 service providers in the country. “We have stopped accrediting…new operators for [only one] reason: to integrate and harmonize all the rules and regulations that other agencies are imposing on POGO operations,” Domingo said. “When we say POGO, these are the ones [that] are registered, authorized and licensed by Pagcor,” Domingo explained.
