EveryMatrix has joined CIBELAE, the official branch of the World Lottery Association for 80 Hispanic American speaking countries, including Latin and Central America, Spain and Portugal, signalling its plans to expand its global reach across multiple regulated markets.

The application to join the Corporación Iberoamericana de Loterías y Apuestas de Estado as an Associate Member was approved at CIBELAE board level and is due to be formally ratified during the organisation’s Annual Ordinary Assembly later this year.

Membership positions the tier-1 technology provider alongside the most reputable lottery and iGaming institutions in 80 countries across six continents including Latin America, gaining valuable networking opportunities across events, working groups and industry discussions with major local operators.

It will also provide EveryMatrix with increased regional influence enabling its local and international commercial and product experts to contribute to shaping conversations around regulation, technology, and innovation within the lottery, betting and iGaming sectors.

The Ad Standards Council (ASC) today recognized Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco for his leadership in promoting responsible advertising in the gaming industry during the council’s Patas na Patalastas Summit in Makati City.

In accepting the Plaque of Appreciation from the ASC, Mr. Tengco said the honor was not only for him but also for the men and women of PAGCOR who remain committed to fairness, truth, and accountability in discharging their responsibilities.

He also commended the ASC for its role in upholding truth, decency, and accountability in Philippine advertising.

“Industries like ours carry an even greater responsibility to protect public trust,” Mr. Tengco said. “Our partnership with ASC ensures that gambling-related advertisements are not only creative and compelling but also ethical, truthful, and mindful of their impact on society.”

The ASC and PAGCOR formalized their collaboration last July 16 through a Memorandum of Understanding requiring all gambling-related ads – whether on TV, radio, online, or outdoors – to undergo ASC review and approval before public release.

PAGCOR itself also ordered the removal of all outdoor gambling billboards as part of its stricter regulatory measures last month.

“These steps are proof that when it comes to protecting the public, we will always choose to do what is right,” the PAGCOR chief added.

The ASC summit brought together regulators, advertisers, and industry stakeholders to reinforce collaborative efforts in ensuring truthful, ethical, and accountable advertising practices in the Philippines.
