MANILA, Philippines (AP)  Philippine officials say they have shut down at least 214 illegal Chinese offshore gambling operations and deported the first six of nearly 400 Chinese workers who have been detained under a renewed crackdown.

Online gambling operations can be regulated both at the national and local level. PAGCOR regulates online casinos that operate within the country but caters to foreign customers, termed Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
