PAGCOR B2B accreditation deadline moves to September 30
What happened
PAGCOR has moved the B2B supplier accreditation deadline from July 31 to September 30, 2025. The extension applies to B2B service providers supplying Philippines-licensed online Gaming System Administrators (GSAs). These vendors must apply for fresh accreditation under PAGCOR's new licensing framework. The two-month extension does not alter the underlying obligation, it shifts the filing window.

Century's first public response came in late September, resting on a specific legal argument: that a different accredited content provider cures the gap. Whether it does is the real open question, and it matters for every operator running through a JV or reseller chain.iGaming
