Malaysia Adds Online Gambling in Proposed Cybercrime Law Amendments

Jethro Snyder — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 21:13:52 +0000

By substantially revising the Communications and Multimedia Act of 1998 (CMA), Malaysia intends to fortify its cybercrime legislation. The government has taken this step in response to the proliferation of harmful digital crimes, including fraud, illicit betting, and others.

One major issue is that websites are exploring methods to bypass regulations to reach gamers in Malaysia who are interested in online gambling. The government is determined to end unlawful operators by increasing surveillance of social media and messaging applications and implementing stricter fines. To combat online gambling or scams, these websites would have to collect user data and assist in monitoring activities.

According to the chief official of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor), the company plans to fully separate itself from its casino operations and transition to a regulatory function role in the next five years.

The goal of Pagcor, according to CEO and Chairman Alejandro Tengco, is to become a regulatory body that focuses only on the gaming industry, with the express purpose of regulating expansion and drawing in more investors.

This is a good move because the agency can now focus on regulating the Philippine gaming industry. Pagcor will no longer run casinos, which means there will be no conflict of interest. It will attract more investors in the industry.

Next week, attorneys representing the provincial government of Ontario and the organization in charge of the province's competitive internet gambling industry will be in court to uphold the framework's regulatory requirements.

The iGaming Ontario agency is requesting that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice reject an application from the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke that might lead to the closure of the iGaming regime.

Is this another case of Tribes not wanting to share the online gambling market with others? Ontario is one of the North American markets that allows multiple operators to run a sportsbook in its territory. MCK argued that the state is not running the market as stated in federal laws. That's why they challenged iGaming Ontario in court.

Is the MCK right with its argument?
