The PAGCOR chief also says, the gaming company is losing P 10-billion in revenues following the expiration of its contract with online gambling operator PhilWeb Corporation last August 10.
But she hopes to recoup the lost income from off-shore gaming exclusively for foreigners.
Domingo notes, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are not allowed to engage in PAGCOR’s off-shore gaming operations.
