(AsiaGameHub) –   The owner of the Okada Manila casino is looking to expand its presence throughout the Philippines via a new online casino platform.

Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment has announced plans to roll out Okada Play to “seize new revenue opportunities” in the nation’s online gaming sector.

Nobuki Sato, President and Chief Operating Officer of Okada Manila, stated: “OKADA PLAY represents a strategic move to grow our digital gaming footprint and strengthen our market leadership.

(AsiaGameHub) –   Philippine lawmakers are aiming to bolster the nation’s anti-money laundering legislation via a new amendment that could bring stricter enforcement against online gambling operators.

Senator Joel Villanueva has filed an amendment to the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), asserting that updates are required to respond to the shifting financial landscape and growing adoption of digital financial services and virtual assets.

Should it be put into effect, the new measure will broaden the range of businesses obligated to meet enhanced AMLA compliance standards to include online gambling operators, virtual asset service providers, and more.

The amendment would also add extra customer due diligence and reporting rules, along with stricter penalties for companies found in violation of the new regulations. 

Regarding the reforms, Villanueva stated: “Ongoing reforms are essential not just to stay in line with international standards, but also to protect the credibility…

(AsiaGameHub) –   New South Wales (NSW) has pioneered in Australia by greenlighting facial recognition technology for deployment in pubs, clubs, and other adult venues. This decision establishes new protections for gambling operations prior to the implementation of the statewide exclusion system.

This measure will be incorporated into a fresh ‘code of practice’ requested by NSW Premier Chris Minns, supporting the Labor government’s commitment to bolster gambling safeguards by pivoting policy toward harm reduction.

The code of practice establishes the ‘baseline requirements for the industry’ as it aims to implement the key protective measures detailed in NSW’s self-exclusion register—a mechanism for physical gambling venues that blocks excluded individuals from using gaming machines at all licensed locations, eliminating the need for venue operators to intervene.

Deployment will occur in adult venues that currently utilize biometric technology to recognize vulnerable patrons.
