Philippines First Cagayan
First Cagayan
First Cagayan used to be the legal Philippine government authority over online gambling interactive games. However, in 2014, due to political instability, there were constant rumors about the rights of First Cagayan and the legality of the online gambling license. in December 2016, more than 1,300 employees in the Clark Resort, which is protected by the agency, were arrested by the police for operating illegal online gambling (for not taking a PAGCOR gambling license). This happened and online gambling companies formerly registered with Cagayan have been trying to find ways to obtain a gambling license from PAGCOR (another Philippine agency that issues gambling licenses).
