Fanatics Betting & Gaming has officially entered the Philippine market through a partnership with Claymore Solutions, set to strengthen the country’s position as a hub for regulated gaming support.
Claymore Solutions, accredited by PAGCOR as a Special Class BPO, provides back-office services like HR, payroll, and office space exclusively to internationally licensed gaming operators. The company does not engage in betting or handle gaming funds.
Following the Philippine government’s discontinuation of the POGO (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator) licensing regime, over 40,000 Filipinos lost employment in gaming-related roles. Claymore Solutions aims to address this employment gap by fostering long-term job opportunities through partnerships with licensed gaming brands.
PAGCOR Chairman Al Tengco highlighted the significance of this development, stating: “We are witnessing the beginning of a transformative chapter in the Philippine BPO sector, with Special Class BPOs like Claymore leading the charge.”
The launch was celebrated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Claymore’s new offices dedicated to Fanatics Betting & Gaming in Taguig City. The event was attended by Fanatics Betting & Gaming CTO Ian Botts, CFO Andrea Ellis, and Claymore Solutions’ Chairman and co-founders Paul Fox and Nathan Kinsella.
“We are excited to access world-class talent to support our operations as we continue our mission to deliver a premier gaming experience for our customers,” said Botts.
Ellis added: “It represents so much more than just desks and whiteboards — it’s a physical symbol of a partnership that’s been years in the making.”
Fox also cited the company’s role in creating employment: “Claymore will deliver thousands of high-quality jobs to Filipinos by supporting the growth of reputable gaming operators worldwide.”
“Fanatics Betting and Gaming is one of the fastest-growing gaming companies in the U.S., and we are proud to launch with them as our first anchor client,” he added.
Claymore said it will announce more client partnerships soon.
