(AsiaGameHub) – PhilWeb Corp has partnered with Okada Manila’s operator to introduce Okada Play, a new online gaming platform in the Philippines. This agreement adds another digital channel for the Okada brand as land-based casino groups across the country seek to boost their online gaming revenue.
Good to Know
- PhilWeb Corp revealed a collaboration with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment Inc to roll out Okada Play.
- Okada Play will leverage PhilWeb’s technology, gaming content, customer service support, and marketing resources.
- The launch takes place as Okada Manila aims to expand beyond its land-based casino operations.
Okada Manila Introduces a New Online Gaming Brand
Instead of relying solely on its casino resort business, Okada Manila is now expanding its digital reach through Okada Play. PhilWeb stated it will provide the full platform behind the new brand, including gaming content, platform technology, customer service infrastructure, and marketing support.
According to PhilWeb, the partnership is intended to help Okada Manila grow in the Philippines’ regulated online gaming market. Okada Play is also expected to complement the group’s existing online channels while helping attract new players.
“The partnership marks a significant step in expanding Okada Manila’s footprint into the digital gaming space, reinforcing its position as a leading premium integrated resort in the Philippines,” PhilWeb stated.
Nobuki Sato, president and chief operating officer of Okada Manila, said the platform is part of a broader digital strategy for the brand.
“Okada Play marked a strategic step in scaling the group’s digital gaming presence and reinforcing our leadership in the market.”
He added: “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.”
This initiative comes at an opportune time for the resort. For full-year 2025, Okada Manila’s gross gaming revenue reached nearly PHP27.81 billion (approximately US$462.0 million), a 20.1% decline from the previous year. Adjusted segmental EBITDA fell 44.0% to PHP4.27 billion.
PhilWeb Continues to Expand Its Online Gaming Network
For PhilWeb, the Okada Play agreement adds another major resort brand to its platform business. The company noted that the partnership reflects ongoing demand for online gaming systems that connect premium land-based brands with digital players.
Brian Ng, president of PhilWeb, said: “This partnership reflects our continued commitment to providing best-in-class gaming solutions to industry leaders.”
He added: “By working with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment Inc, we are enabling the extension of a globally recognised luxury gaming brand into the online space through a robust and scalable platform.”
PhilWeb stated the partnership is designed to deliver a seamless user experience for the growing digital player base in the Philippines. The company also framed the deal as part of a wider integration of land-based casino gaming and online gaming, where platform technology and content now hold greater importance.
Okada Play follows another recent digital launch by PhilWeb. In early February, the company introduced Hann Online via a partnership with Hann Casino Resort in the Clark Freeport Zone. More recently, PhilWeb announced board changes following a management-led takeover, bringing in new leadership appointees.
