Arden Consult is proud to have advised and assisted Light & Wonder in securing their accreditation as an iGaming game content provider and aggregator—the first international company to successfully obtain this recognition. Under Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) B2B accreditation framework, once the transition period ends, only accredited affiliates and providers may offer Electronic Gaming Systems and game content to B2C operators and Gaming System Administrators (GSAs). This framework is a landmark measure designed to close regulatory loopholes exploited by illegal operators and underscores PAGCOR’s resolve to safeguard the public, uphold a fair and transparent gaming environment, and stamp out illegal online gambling.
This milestone also demonstrates Light & Wonder’s global commitment to operate only in regulated jurisdictions and to partner exclusively with licensed operators. By doing so, Light & Wonder reinforces the principle that long-term growth and innovation in gaming can only be achieved within a regulated, transparent, and responsible environment.
As the fight against illegal operators intensifies, regulators and government agencies are expected to support PAGCOR’s strict enforcement. Those who continue to exploit the Philippine framework—by supplying content or services to unlicensed operators—should take heed: the era of looking the other way is over. The industry is moving toward a compliant, responsible, and tax-contributing ecosystem. Licensed operators and accredited providers who follow the rules, protect players, and pay their dues will be supported. Those who persist in fueling the black market should expect heightened scrutiny, sanctions, and enforcement.
