Philippine casinos’ player exclusion rate up 62pct in 2022

Philippine casinos’ player exclusion rate up 62pct in 2022

A total of 333 requests for exclusion from gaming venues in the Philippines was received by the country’s authorities in full-year 2022, up 61.7 percent from 206 such bids in 2021.

There were 157 applications for self-exclusion in the 12 months to December 31, compared to 94 such requests in 2021, according to data from the National Database for Restricted Persons (NDRP), published this week by the country’s casino regulator, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (Pagcor).

In full-year 2022, 176 of the individuals excluded were barred due to applications made by family members. In the previous year there had been 112 such applications.

The NDRP is a computerised database listing those restricted from playing in the country’s gaming establishments. It is operated and regulated by Pagcor.

The gaming regulator said the player exclusion programme is to “provide patrons who feel that relatives or [they] themselves are developing a problem with gambling,” with the option of being barred “from all gaming venues or sites”.

Since data on the exclusion of people from casinos was first compiled in September 2013, a total of 2,532 requests for exclusion has been submitted to the local authorities. Of those, 770 were still active as of December 31, according to the data.
