The Universal Gaming Token will list on cryptocurrency exchanges Independent Reserve, HitBTC and LATOKEN.

The PlayChip Foundation has announced the official listing of its PlayChip token.

The ERC20 token, PlayChip, will go live and commence trading on Australia’s first regulated cryptocurrency exchange Independent Reserve, as well as top ten exchanges HitBTC, and LATOKEN on Wednesday January 30th.

The PlayChip was one of the rare success stories in 2018 token sales, attracting participants in more than fifty countries and recognition at major international blockchain events.

The listing follows the first integration of the PlayChip into the gaming platform of operational partner PlayUp.

PlayUp operates several gaming products including one of the world’s premier fantasy sports platforms. In Q1 of 2019, PlayUp plans to activate and award over US$1 million in prizes across major sporting events such as the Super Bowl, Big Bash and Six Nations Rugby Tournament.

“This has been a fantastic week for the PlayChip,” said PlayChip Foundation Director Daniel Simic.

“The sports betting and gaming market is primed for blockchain integration. This industry was integral in driving mass adoption of the internet in the late 90’s, and with the crypto revolution upon us, punters and gamers will once again be the first to experience this next-generation technology, with the PlayChip at the forefront of this revolution.”

“We have achieved what a fraction of blockchain-based projects ever accomplish. The PlayChip has been well adopted and demonstrated mainstream appeal with a level of utility most tokens won’t see for years, if at all.”

“While we are very proud of what we’ve achieved so far, this is only the beginning. Big things are in store for the PlayChip”.

PlayChips can be purchased within Australia from Independent Reserve, and internationally on HitBTC and LATOKEN from Wednesday January 30th.

PAGCOR chief pushes for stricter regulation, not online gaming ban

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco on Monday, September 8, pushed for stricter regulations for online gaming instead of an outright ban, saying that prohibition would only encourage illegal operations and deprive the government of needed revenues.

Speaking before industry stakeholders at the Light & Wonder iGaming Symposium at Newport World Resorts in Pasay City, Mr. Tengco said reforms implemented by PAGCOR — including reductions in license fee rates — has spurred robust growth in the electronic gaming sector.

From Php58.16 billion in 2023, gross gaming revenues (GGR) from Electronic Games climbed to Php154.51 billion in 2024 which accounted for nearly half of the industry’s Php372.33 billion GGR.

In the first half of 2025 alone, the sector contributed Php114.83 billion, surpassing revenues from land-based operations and boosting PAGCOR’s total revenues to Php59 billion.

“The iGaming story in the Philippines is no longer just about growth; it’s about how we grow — safely, fairly, and sustainably,” Mr. Tengco said. “We support stricter regulations to protect our people, but we are against a total ban which will only drive players to illegal operators and result in loss of revenues and jobs.”

Mr. Tengco also emphasized PAGCOR’s ongoing reforms, including the separation of regulatory and operational functions, stronger responsible gaming safeguards, stricter advertising standards, the upcoming launch of a 24/7 helpline, and the adoption of digital tools such as the PAGCOR Guarantee portal and AI-driven monitoring systems.

He also called on industry players to practice “compliance by design” in their operations, strictly follow anti-money laundering regulations, strengthen their KYC (Know Your Customer) guidelines, and fully support PAGCOR’s Responsible Gaming initiatives.

“With responsible growth, compliance, and transparency, the Philippines can develop a safer, stronger, and globally competitive iGaming industry,” he added.

Mr. Tengco also expressed gratitude to Light & Wonder for organizing the event, highlighting its role as a key partner in strengthening the country’s gaming sector.

Light & Wonder, a global leader in cross-platform gaming, provides content, systems, and solutions for casino, online, and social gaming operators worldwide. Its innovations have supported PAGCOR in broadening product offerings and keeping the Philippine gaming industry competitive in the rapidly evolving iGaming market.
