Pagcor Approves GLI for iGaming Testing in Philippines

Pagcor has named Gaming Laboratories International LLC as the first independent testing laboratory for iGaming in the Philippines. The approval comes as the regulator tightens oversight of a growing online gaming market.

Good to Know

• GLI is the first company accredited under the new Pagcor system.
• B2B iGaming suppliers in the Philippines now need accreditation.
• GLI will use GLI-19 to test platform fairness, security, and integrity.

GLI Takes First Spot Under New Pagcor Rules

GLI said the accreditation allows it to test and certify iGaming platforms in the Philippines. Under the new framework, all B2B suppliers must meet stricter regulatory and technical standards.

The company said it will apply “GLI-19: Standards for Interactive Gaming Systems” when reviewing submissions. According to GLI, that standard is already used in several jurisdictions.

Pagcor chairman and chief executive Alejandro Tengco said regulated gaming markets “ensure a safer and more sustainable gaming industry for all to participate in”.

He added: “Pagcor now requires all iGaming B2B suppliers operating in the Philippines to be accredited to ensure they comply to the rigorous requirements needed to protect iGaming players.”

GLI president and CEO James Maida thanked Pagcor “for the trust” it continues to place in GLI.
