Some believe it\u2019s another one of those \u2018Philippine government\u2019 comments that will not come to any fruition. But he said it publicly and his credibility would be damaged were serious changes not to materialise\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do believe that by the end of the year, all internet gaming licences (IGL\u2019s), including <strong>PAGCOR<\/strong> issued POGO\u2019s, will be banned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, the presence of tier one operators within the Philippines is unlikely to fall away entirely, according to McDonnell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been many lawyers involved and they\u2019ve brought senators to some <strong>BPO<\/strong> customer service centers in the Philippines. It\u2019s my understanding that with 95% of the workers being Filipino, Senators are satisfied with the existence of these centers subject to certain caveats\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He predicted that if a business has Special Class BPO accreditation, or partners with an outsourcing business that is accredited, operators will be able to continue all the customer service aspects of running a gambling business, so long as they have a tier one licence somewhere else in the world that is reputable. They also can\u2019t get involved in the transaction of a bet, which must take place in the tier 1 jurisdiction, and must employ at least 90-95% of staff from the local filipino labour pool.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, given the real reasons to ban POGOs, due diligence for new BPO accreditation won\u2019t be easy so that only \u201cgood actors\u201d succeed. Partnering with businesses already accredited is a very attractive option for operators.&nbsp; There are some very interesting options that many legitimate operators are exploring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the ban on POGO licences continues to be enforced, there is a risk the underground market may grow, something that McDonnell says the government has to closely scrutinise.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAction on existing POGO licensed operators has already started to happen. I\u2019ve seen paperwork on this. It\u2019s not a case of there being an announcement in July with all complete by the end of the year. While an Executive Order, providing details around what will and won\u2019t be allowed is due in November, a phased approach is ongoing, with current POGO licence holders asked to report frequently on what they\u2019re doing to make sure they are closed down by December. Meanwhile, some operators have already split their teams up and are locating specific functions elsewhere to mitigate against business risk.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOthers hope that they can retain a lot of their highly educated and experienced workforce in the Philippines by getting special class BPO accreditation or partnering with an outsourcing business that has it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the country goes through a significant period of transformation, PIGO licences, which enable operators to target the domestic Philippines market, are unaffected by the latest ruling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McDonnell said there is a possibility we could see an increase in the number of <strong>PIGO<\/strong> licence applications off the back of the decision by President Marcos, as businesses look to use the local knowledgeable labour pool for other purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the lessons learnt from the downfall of POGOs in the Philippines, McDonnell noted that the actions of a few bad actors have stained the reputation of the whole industry, which is what led to a standing ovation at the announcement of the ban of POGOs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are in an industry where you can do things right 99% of the time, but it takes just 1% to leave a stain and it takes a while to get over it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing insight into the possibility that this shift could lead to other markets opening in Asia, he added: \u201cI was on a panel in Lisbon this year and in Macau a few years ago, and on both occasions the subject of new markets opening up was prevalent \u2013 yet nothing has really moved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhilst the region as a whole is highly unregulated, with the exception of the Philippines, perhaps these changes might spur others to create a suitable framework for operators in the future\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really important that when regulators come in and apply frameworks and taxation that they don\u2019t overregulate or overtax. We\u2019re seeing it in the US, UK and other regulated markets now. There is no way regulated businesses can compete with offshore businesses on betting prices, bonuses or general marketing and Opex if they have to pay 40 to 50% in taxes\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Philippines has been an outstanding location for many businesses in our industry for decades. In introducing new measures to address the illicit activities of some Internet Gaming License holders it has hoped opportunities will remain for resectable businesses to continue and thrive whilst employing thousands of locally knowledgeable and experienced Filipinos\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a spell of regulatory overhaul, the Philippines gaming sector faces \u2018a critical period\u2019 if it is to retain its status as a hub for major operators.&nbsp; Keith McDonnell, Director at the KMI Group with a wealth of history with the Asian market, explained that the decision of President Marcos to outlaw POGOs was warmly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1,24],"tags":[10356,10353,1113,1110,10357,8623,10354,10355],"class_list":["post-7432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gambling","category-news","category-regulations","tag-bongobongo-marcos","tag-kmi-group","tag-pagcor","tag-philippines","tag-pigo","tag-pogo","tag-rodrigo-duterte","tag-10355"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
