The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.(Pagcor) is looking to launch its own internet-based gaming platform towards the second half of the year as the gaming regulator diversifies its revenue source.
Alejandro Tengco, Pagcor chief executive officer, said the platform will be accessible through the website CasinoFilipino.com.
Tengco said revenues from e-gaming are substantial.
“The plus factor of Casino Filipino is the brand,” he added.
Tengco noted internet-based gaming is now a global trend as players shift from traditional land-based casinos.
Tengco said with an internet-based gaming platform, Pagcor can widen its reach.
Pagcor looks to generate P336.38 billion in gross gaming revenue this year.
E-casinos, e-bingo, sports betting and specialty games are projected to contribute P61.75 billion in 2024.
