The agency issued its statement as concerns grow over the industry’s potential social impact.
Pagcor is duty-bound to follow any and all relevant regulations once they are passed by Congress and signed into law by the President.
For now, Pagcor said it remains focused on cracking down on illegal online gaming, a sector that continues to thrive in the absence of stricter oversight.
“In the meantime, rest assured that Pagcor remains fully committed to intensifying its efforts in the ongoing battle against the proliferation of illegal online gaming activities, together with like-minded agencies and organizations and with the support of all gaming industry stakeholders,” it said.
