Pagcor orders online gambling ads replaced with helpline information

Pagcor has mandated that all online gambling operators in the Philippines replace their existing responsible gaming ads with new materials that promote the 24/7 National Problem Gambling Helpline. This move comes as an effort to better address the growing concern over problem gambling, aiming to provide immediate support to those affected. The shift underscores the industry's commitment to player welfare and signals a proactive stance against gambling addiction, which is increasingly recognized as a significant social issue in the country.
