THE GOVERNMENT should coordinate with networks hosting gambling websites to weed out illegal gambling outfits operating in the country, advocacy group Digital Pinoys said on Monday.

“If the government will be able to make these hosting providers cooperate, the campaign against illegal gambling sites will be given a huge boost,” Digital Pinoys national campaigner Ronald B. Gustilo said in a statement.

Mr. Gustilo also urged social media influencers to look beyond what they are earning from unregulated gambling operators and consider the detrimental effects to would-be victims caused by their endorsement of various gambling sites. — John Victor D. Ordoñez
