Questioning Online Casino Jurisdiction

Licensing the online casinos for the international market is a tough business – it is highly competitive and there are already several major players in the industry that are recognized for their high standards. But that doesn’t mean that the conveniently located Port Irene licensing jurisdiction hasn’t seen an influx of online casinos looking for licensing opportunities in the Asian-Pacific region. The Cagayan Export Zone Authorities have come under investigation and many officials are asking the Philippine government to fully investigate this licensing jurisdiction for compliance with gambling regulations in the nation.

The CEZA in Port Irene currently operates in a shady area of the legislation that is not very clearly defined and some in the online casino gambling industry are questioning the jurisdictions policies and practices. Archbishop Oscar Cruz has led some of the outspoken opposition to the online casinos, sportsbetting, and other internet gambling companies that operate out of Port Irene and the CEZA. He has adamantly called upon the Senate to investigate the activities in the area and to ensure that the CEZA is in fact only operating out of Port Irene as is asserted.

The Catholic Church is very firmly against all forms of gambling, this includes both land and online casino gambling activities. The Philippine government is not looking to upset or anger the Church, but in the same token, by all appearances the CEZA is not breaking any laws by offering online casino gambling and betting to foreign gambling markets. A chief concern though for Bishop Cruz remains the fact that the CEZA is outside of the authority of the Philippine gambling commission, PAGCOR.
