Under the agreement, PhilWeb will provide a full online gaming platform solution for Okada Play, including gaming content, platform technology, customer service infrastructure, and marketing support. The initiative marks Okada Manila’s expansion into the digital gaming space as part of its broader strategy to strengthen its presence beyond land-based operations.

 

PhilWeb President Brian Ng said the collaboration highlights the company’s focus on delivering advanced gaming solutions to industry partners. “By working with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc., we are enabling the extension of a globally recognized luxury gaming brand into the online space through a robust and scalable platform,” he said.

 

Nobuki Sato, President and COO of Okada Manila, described the launch as a key step in expanding the group’s digital footprint. “Okada Play marks a strategic step in scaling our digital gaming presence and reinforcing our leadership in the market,” he said, adding that the platform will help reach new player segments while maintaining premium service standards.

 

The platform is positioned to compete in the Philippines’ growing online gaming market, offering a digital experience aligned with Okada Manila’s luxury brand. The partnership also reflects increasing convergence between land-based and online gaming, as operators seek new revenue streams and enhanced customer engagement.

 

Following a recent ownership change, PhilWeb has been expanding its services offerings, marketing efforts and customer base, already being tapped by Hann Casino & Resort to scale its regulated online gaming operations in the Philippines. Casino gaming equipment and content provider FBM Philippines also recently signed a contract with PhilWeb to ‘build and operate FBM Philippines’ online gaming platform’ – encompassing ‘up to 30,000 machines across more than 500 locations nationwide’.
