POKER CLUBS

PAGCOR oversees the Philippine gaming industry through strict regulation of all persons, locations, practices and related activities. Other than land-based casinos, there are licensed gaming sites around the country offering Poker Games.

APPLICATION

Application for a gaming license to operate a Poker club follows a structured two (2)-part process after the fulfilment of a pre-application. All documentary and procedural requirements listed under Part I must be satisfied before an Applicant can proceed to Part II.

PRE-APPLICATION PROCESS
The pre-application process involves the submission of a letter addressed to the PAGCOR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer expressing the company’s intent to operate a Poker club. This is followed by the setting of an exploratory meeting between the Table Games Department and the applicant.

PART I
This part determines the suitability of the specific site presented for the operation of Poker club. The Applicant cannot proceed to Part II and/or secure Local Government Unit (LGU) document/s unless the Applicant has received confirmation from PAGCOR’s Table Games Department (TGD) on the acceptability of the site.
