菲律宾娱乐及菠菜公司(PAGCOR)近日表示,该公司目前已经收到76家运营商申请菲律宾新的“境外”赌博许可证,也就是新的线上菠菜牌照。
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has said that it has received 76 applications for new ‘offshore’ gambling licences in the country.
在10月10日(周一),PAGCOR的CEO安德烈·多明戈在接受菲律宾当地媒体采访时称,国家监管机构希望在月底前完成25个牌照的发放。
Speaking yesterday (Monday) to local media, Andrea Domingo, chief executive of the PAGCOR, said the national regulator hopes to grant 25 licences before the end of the month.
PAGCOR此次将批出25个线上菠菜牌照,有效期为一年。
The first licences, which will run for a period of one year, were due to be handed out last month.
安德烈还说,近日政府决定,将在批出赌牌后的头三至六个月内,逐步修改关于牌照的细节。
Domingo said that the national regulator will use the first three to six months of the new regime to study the activities of licensed operators, adding that PAGCOR may change the “rules and regulations” accordingly.
目前该牌照主要提供至海外运营商,获得牌照者可面向21岁以上的人合法在菲律宾运营线上赌博游戏。但与CAGAYAN之前的牌照一致,在菲律宾居住的外国人以及菲律宾人被禁止访问及使用。
Licensees, which will be known as ‘Philippine offshore gaming operators’, will offer online casino games exclusively to foreigners that are aged over 21 and based abroad, with foreigners in the Philippines and Filipinos residing abroad not able to access games.
目前运营商需要获得新牌照需先支付$ 50,000(其他菠菜)或$ 40,000(体育菠菜)的申请费,除此之外还需要额外缴纳$ 200,000(其他菠菜)或$ 150,000(体育菠菜)的处理费用。之后PAGCOR将对其申请进行审批。
Operators seeking a licence will pay $50,000 (€44,900) in application and processing fees for online casino and $40,000 for sports betting, in addition to a further $200,000 for a casino licence and $150,000 for a sports betting licence, upon receiving approval from PAGCOR.

PAGCOR此前表示,希望能够通过新牌照的推出抵消因几个月前大范围取消以philweb为首的菲律宾本国线上菠菜造成的损失。
