The gaming regulator in the Philippines has announced all licensed casino employees are now on that country’s national register of restricted gamblers, making it easier to prevent casino employees from gambling.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) made the announcement in a circular dated September 6 and said the change would be effective from September 10.
The Pagcor memorandum reminds all casino operators that the rules prohibit their employees from gambling in any gaming establishment in the country. An employee of a Philippine casino must hold a licence to work in the gaming industry.
The memorandum says the names of licensed employees, as well as other information about them, will be kept in a database that lists people banned from gambling in gaming establishments, the National Database of Restricted Persons. The database is accessible online, so casino operators can identify and refuse admittance to any gaming industry employees wishing to gamble.
Pagcor runs its own casinos as well as regulating gaming. It often releases circulars to remind operators of their obligations, such as threatening closure of premises if people under the age of 21 are found to be gambling there.
