Philippine-listed gaming technology provider PhilWeb Corp. has asked state regulator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to allow the company to provide its services to Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) licensees.
PhilWeb President Dennis Valdes confirmed on Monday that the Manila-based firm was in talks with the Philippine regulator on the legalities and requirements to service POGO gaming software needs, according to ABS-CBN News.
However, Valdes quickly clarified that extending services to internationally licensed gambling operators doesn’t mean that they are interested in becoming a POGO operator as well.
“We are not opposed to being a service provider for POGO. There are a lot of players servicing China, Malaysia and Indonesia,” Valdes said, according to the news outlet.
