Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Asian gaming operators facing stricter regulations

Compliance officers are (and will be) in high demand, as gaming operators in Asia face stricter oversight and regulations aimed at stomping out the grey market. The focus is not only on fixing what was wrong, but setting up upcoming jurisdictions (such as Japan and the UAE) for highly-regulated success. Looking to the Philippines, regulation is also in mind for Hann Casino Resort, as it taps PhiWeb to help scale its online gaming operations in the nation. And the property could see more visitors soon, as a new 14-day visa-free policy comes into effect for Chinese passport holders arriving via the NAIA and Cebu airports.
