PhilWeb Corp., a listed electronic gaming company, has sealed a strategic partnership with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc. to roll out a new online gaming platform branded OKADA PLAY, marking a significant push into the country’s fast-growing digital gaming market.
Under the agreement, PhilWeb will provide a full-scale Online Gaming Platform (OGP) solution, covering gaming content, platform technology, customer service systems, and marketing support. The collaboration enables Okada Manila to extend its premium integrated resort experience into the online space.
Financial details of the deal weren’t immediately disclosed.
The move positions OKADA PLAY as a strong contender in the increasingly competitive Philippine online gaming sector, leveraging PhilWeb’s established expertise in regulated platforms and nationwide operations. The offering is expected to deliver a high-quality, seamless digital experience aligned with Okada Manila’s luxury brand.
“This partnership reflects our continued commitment to providing best-in-class gaming solutions to industry leaders,” said Brian Ng, President of PhilWeb Corporation, highlighting the scalability and robustness of the platform.
For Okada Manila, the initiative forms part of a broader digital expansion strategy aimed at capturing new player segments while enhancing engagement beyond its physical resort. “OKADA PLAY marks a strategic step in scaling our digital gaming presence,” said Nobuki Sato, President and COO.
The partnership as emblematic of a wider shift in the Philippine gaming landscape, where traditional resort operators are increasingly integrating digital channels. As regulatory frameworks mature, the convergence of land-based and online gaming is expected to unlock new revenue streams and redefine customer experiences across the sector.
