So what I am curious is how this would actually work from a gambler's point of view. Should AI be used to detect suspicious accounts/transactions, monitor possible problem gambling, or check if licensed platforms are following the rules properly?
Looking at the development of AI technology nowadays, if PAGCOR wants to use AI to monitor casinos and players, it should be possible. This could involve detecting illegal betting websites, KYC, monitoring players' betting behavior, suspicious transactions, and a few other things.
But the challenge is that illegal gambling operators might be using bots to create domains much faster than this AI bot. Also, since this is AI technology, developing it isn’t easy. They would need to make a big investment and ensure that legitimate casinos are able to cooperate with the program.
So, again, it really depends on how PAGCOR can implement this idea, or if it’s just talk without any clear implementation.
