OKBET Keeps On Going, Unaffected by the POGO Ban

OKBet Remains Unaffected by POGO Ban, Continues Its Operations

Overview:
Amid the recent crackdown on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), which followed President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s State of the Nation Address (SONA), OKBet has clarified that it remains unaffected by the ban and will continue operations as normal.

What’s Happening with the POGO Ban?

President Marcos Jr. has directed the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to cease the operations of all POGOs by the end of the year. This has raised concerns about job losses, economic consequences, and the impact on the local gaming industry.

How is OKBet Affected?

Unlike POGOs, which serve foreign customers and operate with offshore licenses, OKBet is a Philippine Inland Gaming Operator (PIGO). This means:

OKBet is subject to stricter regulation and oversight by PAGCOR.
It operates in compliance with PAGCOR guidelines and works directly within the Philippines' legal framework.
OKBet holds the necessary permits to operate legally and transparently within the country.

Why is OKBet Unaffected?

Local Operations: OKBet is a PIGO, not a POGO. While POGOs cater to foreign clients and are often registered abroad, PIGOs like OKBet must be connected to land-based establishments and comply with local regulations.
Regulatory Compliance: OKBet is a trusted partner of PAGCOR and adheres to their guidelines, including those on responsible gaming.

What Does This Mean for Players?

For OKBet players, it means:

Continued Service: OKBet will continue to offer its gaming services without disruption.
Commitment to Security: OKBet remains dedicated to providing a secure and enjoyable gaming experience for all its patrons.
Support for the Local Economy: As a PIGO, OKBet is committed to supporting the Philippine economy and its workforce.
