Publicly-listed PhilWeb Corp. has signed a strategic service agreement with FBM (Futebol Bem Melhor), a leading provider of electronic bingo, slot machines, and other gaming content. The partnership, formalized Monday with representatives from PhilWeb and FBM’s Philippine partner Memo Multinational Corp., aims to integrate online gaming capabilities directly into FBM’s existing physical venues and machines.
Under the deal, PhilWeb will provide technology services, systems integration, and regulatory-compliant support to build FBM Philippines’ online gaming platform. The rollout is expected to reach thousands of machines initially, with the potential to scale up to 30,000 machines across more than 500 locations nationwide.
Unlike typical online gaming platforms that operate independently, this collaboration connects digital content and features with FBM’s brick-and-mortar venues. The integrated model is designed to boost player engagement, reverse declining foot traffic, and strengthen revenue streams for offline operators.
PhilWeb president Brian Ng emphasized that the partnership allows online capabilities to be embedded directly into FBM’s existing network, enhancing both online and offline business opportunities. FBM Philippines country manager Pepe Costa noted that the agreement provides a more engaging experience for players while creating stronger revenue potential across the country.
Both companies see the collaboration as a strategic move to expand regulated electronic gaming offerings, advance online-to-offline integration, and support the long-term sustainability of the Philippine e-gaming industry.
