A dedicated regulator for online gambling in the Philippines may be better equipped to oversee the booming industry, a lawmaker said Thursday.

Senator Richard Gordon is seeking to form a new regulatory body—to be called the Philippine Online Gaming and Regulatory Authority (POGRA)—and leave state regulator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to oversee land-based casinos in the country, according to an ABSCBN News report.

The senator put forward the proposal during a Senate hearing on the PHP50 million (USD1 million) bribery scandal involving gambling operator Jack Lam, pointing out that POGRA will be “better equipped to oversee” the online gambling industry using new technology.

Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre, who was present during the hearing, agreed with Gordon’s proposal, saying “a dedicated online gambling regulator would help eliminate grey areas.”
