Philippines’ crackdown on eGaming cafes a boon to casinos – Razon

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s all-out war against illegal online gambling has given a boost by no-less than casino mogul Enrique Razon.

Bloomberg reported that the chairman and founder of Bloomberry Resorts Corp. has thrown its support to Philippine government’s campaign to stamp out illegal online gambling in the island nation. He agree with President Duterte’s observation that eGaming parlors have been loosely regulated.

“I think cracking down on this, looking at it from our perspective, helps the licensed casinos,” Razon told the business news website.

Razon remains unfazed the by current administration’s gambling policy as he professed his intention to continue betting big on the Philippines instead of making investments overseas.
