Fanatics Betting & Gaming launches in the Philippines
New collaboration marks a step for regulated gaming support in the Philippines.
Key points:
– Fanatics has partnered with Claymore Solutions to establish a Special Class BPO hub in the Philippines
– The partnership aims to create jobs to support displaced workers and focus on the country’s position in global gaming services
Fanatics has officially launched operations in the Philippines through a partnership with Claymore Solutions. This collaboration is intended to focus on the Philippines’ role as a destination for regulated gaming support services.
Claymore Solutions provides back-office support to internationally licensed gaming operators without engaging in betting or handling gaming funds.
The company offers a full range of services including human resources, payroll management and office space in Taguig City. Clients can use Claymore’s recruitment services or manage their own talent acquisition teams.
Following the Government’s discontinuation of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) licensing regime, over 40,000 Filipinos were displaced from gaming-related jobs. Claymore aims to help address this by providing long-term employment with licensed global gaming companies.
Good to know: Claymore Solutions was founded in 2023 by Paul Fox and Nathan Kinsella while Fanatics was launched in 2021
Paul Fox, Claymore Solutions Chairman and Co-Founder added: “Claymore will deliver thousands of high-quality jobs to Filipinos by supporting the growth of reputable gaming operators worldwide.
“We are honored by the support of President Marcos and the continued support of PAGCOR, particularly Chairman Al Tengco, whose vision has been crucial in positioning the Philippines as a trusted hub for global gaming support.”
As a US-based operator, Fanatics has primarily focused on rapid domestic expansion. For example, Fanatics Sportsbook recently launched in New York, which was one of three state rollouts within the span of a week.
Its decision to establish a support presence in the Philippines hints at a broader operational strategy.
