Fanatics Betting & Gaming has officially launched in the Philippines through a strategic partnership with Claymore Solutions, marking a key step in its global operations strategy.
The collaboration focuses on the Philippines’ growing role as a hub for regulated gaming support services. While Fanatics continues to expand its sportsbook operations across the U.S., its presence in the Philippines will provide vital back-office infrastructure for international gaming clients.
Claymore Solutions does not operate betting services or handle gaming funds. Instead, it offers essential support functions such as human resources, payroll, and office space in Taguig City. Clients can either use Claymore’s in-house recruitment team or bring in their own HR specialists.
Following the government’s discontinuation of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) licensing regime, over 40,000 Filipinos lost jobs. Claymore aims to fill that gap by offering long-term employment opportunities with internationally licensed gaming companies.
“Claymore will deliver thousands of high-quality jobs to Filipinos by supporting the growth of reputable gaming operators worldwide,” said Paul Fox, Chairman and Co-Founder of Claymore Solutions.
He also thanked President Marcos and PAGCOR Chairman Al Tengco for their ongoing support in establishing the Philippines as a trusted global support center.
Fanatics, founded in 2021, has primarily focused on U.S. growth—recently launching its sportsbook in New York, one of three rollouts in a single week. However, the move to build a support base in the Philippines suggests a broader, international strategy for long-term scalability.
Good to know: Claymore Solutions was founded in 2023 by Paul Fox and Nathan Kinsella.
