IGLs
In June 2023, PAGCOR issued the Internet Gaming Licensing Regulations (IGLR), a new regulatory framework to govern the application and operation of internet gaming licensees (IGLs), previously called POGOs (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators). The IGLR provides for the licensing, registration, or accreditation of IGLs (including their service providers).
