Overview
We are delighted to officially announce that ACAMS is now an accredited institutional training provider of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is a 100 percent government-owned and controlled corporation under the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines.
The Corporation was created by virtue of a Presidential Decree (PD1067-A), which was issued in response to calls for the Philippine Government to put a stop to the growing proliferation of illegal casino operations in various parts of the country. The law creating PAGCOR was later amended and consolidated under PD 1869 otherwise known as the PAGCOR Charter. PAGCOR is responsible for licensing and regulating persons primarily engaged in gambling and their allied businesses.
