Philippine-listed gaming technology company PhilWeb Corporation recently announced a strategic partnership with Tiger Resort, the operator of Okada Manila, to launch the online gaming platform "Okada Play". PhilWeb will provide complete system support, including game content, platform technology, customer service system, and marketing plans, aiming to create a one-stop digital entertainment experience for players. In plain terms, it means that the offline casino business is under pressure and is seeking to increase online through technology partners.
Partnership background: Luxury brand extends to the digital domain
The President and COO of Okada Manila stated that Okada Play is an important step in the group's digital strategy, not only allowing the brand to occupy a place in the online gaming field but also providing a channel to attract new player groups while maintaining the brand's positioning of high-end digital entertainment experiences. The President of PhilWeb pointed out that this cooperation reflects the company's commitment to continuously provide top-tier gaming solutions to industry leaders, extending globally renowned luxury brands online through a robust and scalable platform.
Performance under pressure: Okada Manila's GGR dropped by 20% last year
Data shows that the total gaming revenue of Okada Manila for the full year of 2025 was about 27.81 billion Philippine pesos, a year-on-year decrease of 20.1%, with adjusted EBITDA at 4.27 billion pesos, down 44% year-on-year. Analysts believe that the newly launched Okada Play platform will further support the brand's digital transformation strategy, enhance customer engagement, and bring new revenue opportunities to the regulated online gambling market in the Philippines.
Strategic implementation: PhilWeb continuously integrates physical casinos online
In February this year, PhilWeb just partnered with Hann Casino Resort in Clark Freeport Zone to launch the "Hann Online" gaming platform. This cooperation with Okada Manila marks a further step in its strategy to integrate physical casinos with digital platforms and promote the fusion of high-end content and technology.
