EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Regulatory Framework for Data Streaming Providers prescribes the policies, standards, and compliance requirements governing the accreditation, operation, and supervision of entities engaged in the provision of data streaming services to legitimate gaming operators licensed abroad.

The framework sets forth the eligibility and accreditation criteria, operational and technical standards, employee deployment and movement protocols, reporting and disclosure obligations,and the administrative, civil,and regulatory sanctions applicable in cases of non-compliance. It further defines the duties and responsibilities of Data Streaming Providers in safeguarding data privacy and security, ensuring adherence to applicable labor, immigration, and employment laws, and fully cooperating with regulatory oversight, monitoring activities, and inspections conducted by PAGCOR.

Through the implementation of this framework, PAGCOR aims to enhance regulatory oversight of data streaming operations, mitigate risks associated with the misuse of streaming infrastructures for illegal or unauthorized activities, and uphold ethical conduct, transparency, and operational integrity within the gaming support services sector.
