PhilWeb Corporation has entered into an agreement to power a new online gaming platform for Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment Inc (TRLEI), operator of Okada Manila in the Philippines.
Marking a significant step in expanding Okada Manila’s footprint into the digital gaming space, PhilWeb will provide an iGaming platform solution for Okada Play, including a full suite of gaming content, platform technology, customer service infrastructure, and marketing support.
“This partnership reflects our continued commitment to providing best-in-class gaming solutions to industry leaders,” said PhilWeb president Brian Ng. “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.”
Okada Manila president and chief operating officer Nobuki Sato added: “Okada Play marks a strategic step in scaling our digital gaming presence and reinforcing our leadership in the market.
“By expanding our platform portfolio through this partnership, we are able to reach new player segments while continuing to elevate the premium digital experience associated with the Okada brand.”
In its most recent financial results, Okada Manila reported a 19 per cent drop in total revenue to PHP31.68 billion in 2025, after revenue fell by 31 per cent in the final quarter of the year.
The company already operates an online gaming platform under authorisation from PAGCOR, although no results have been disclosed for the business.
The deal marks PhilWeb’s second major agreement this year after partnering Hann Casino Resort to support its move into the digital space.
Shares in PhilWeb Corporation (PSE:WEB) closed 4.00 per cent higher at P11.96 per share in Manila earlier Friday, while shares in TRLEI parent company Universal Entertainment Corp. (TYO:6425) closed 4.23 per cent lower at ¥748.00 in Tokyo.
