(Philippines).-Gaming outsourcing firms employ 8,000-9,000 Filipinos: Tengco Unlicensed online casinos still around and operating illegally.
The head of the Philippines’ gaming regulator said implementing a ban on online casinos would be a challenge as he pitched to exempt about a dozen outsourcing companies working for foreign gaming firms from the prohibition.
In this sense, Gaming outsourcing firms employ 8,000-9,000 Filipinos, says Tengco, while unlicensed online casinos continue to operate illegally.

Besides, Pagcor Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco emphasized that the real challenge lies in enforcement after winding down operations.
