Gaming regulators in the Philippines are working on a proposal that will clear the confusion on the scope of authority the different gaming licensing jurisdictions should have in the country.

Jose Maria Ponce, administrator of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA), told industry executives at the ASEAN Gaming Summit in Manila they have come up with rules and regulations that will hopefully reconcile all gaming licensing authorities under one jurisdiction.

The Philippines has multiple gaming licensing jurisdictions. Aside from CEZA, there’s also the Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO), the Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan, as well as the country’s national regulator, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).

Under the proposed regulations, APECO-licensed operators “will be able to enjoy fiscal and economic incentives while they operate from within the zone.” However, APECO licensees can extend their online gaming operations outside of the Aurora province in eastern Luzon, provided that they are located in Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA)-registered IT buildings.
