OKADA PLAY October growth drives ₱100M GGR milestone
OKADA PLAY has recorded a major digital gaming milestone, generating more than ₱100 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR) in October 2026, as its daily active users exceeded 100,000.
The platform, operated by Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment Inc. (TRLEI), the company behind Okada Manila, achieved the results approximately six months after its launch in May.
The companies reported that OKADA PLAY October growth reached approximately 50% month-on-month, reflecting stronger betting activity and increasing demand for its digital gaming services.
The October performance marks an important step in Okada Manila's efforts to expand beyond its physical casino operations and develop additional revenue opportunities through online gaming.
OKADA PLAY October growth strengthens digital expansion
Surpassing ₱100 million in monthly GGR represents a significant early achievement for the platform, which entered the Philippine online gaming market in May 2026.
The milestone also demonstrates the potential of established casino brands to attract digital audiences through online platforms.
Okada Manila President and Chief Operating Officer Nobuki Sato described the performance as an encouraging development for the company's digital growth strategy.
The platform's expansion is supported by a partnership with PhilWeb Corporation, which provides the technology and operational infrastructure behind the service.
The collaboration allows Okada Manila to extend its gaming brand into the digital market while relying on an established gaming technology provider for platform operations.
Reaching more than 100,000 daily active users also gives the business a growing audience for future customer engagement initiatives and product development.
More than 4,000 games support platform growth
OKADA PLAY currently offers more than 4,000 gaming titles supplied by over 20 integrated gaming content providers.
Its technology infrastructure is powered by PhilWeb's Online Gaming Platform solution, which includes gaming content aggregation, platform technology and customer service operations.
The extensive gaming catalogue provides users with access to different digital gaming experiences through a single platform.
For Okada Manila, this arrangement creates opportunities to strengthen customer relationships beyond its Entertainment City property in Parañaque.
For PhilWeb, the partnership demonstrates how its technology business can support established gaming operators seeking to expand their digital presence.
PhilWeb Chairman Lance Y. Gokongwei said the October performance highlighted the potential of combining a recognised integrated resort brand with scalable technology infrastructure.
The company is now looking to build on the platform's early momentum through further expansion of its digital gaming operations.
PhilWeb targets further growth across partner platforms
The performance of OKADA PLAY could also provide a benchmark for other online gaming platforms supported by PhilWeb.
The technology provider expects additional partner platforms to potentially reach ₱100 million in monthly GGR before the end of 2026.
However, the company has not disclosed specific revenue figures or identified which partner platforms could achieve that milestone.
The outlook reflects PhilWeb's broader strategy of expanding its technology and services business by supporting multiple gaming operators.
Rather than relying exclusively on a single branded platform, the company can develop its business through partnerships that use its existing technology infrastructure and content network.
PhilWeb is also progressing with a strategic investment in JKS Tech Solutions.
Under the proposed arrangement, JKS will acquire PhilWeb common shares at ₱16.50 per share. Once the transaction is completed, PhilWeb expects to recognise its proportionate share of JKS earnings in its consolidated financial results.
The company has not provided a confirmed completion date for the investment.
Digital gaming becomes an important growth opportunity
The October milestone highlights the increasing importance of digital channels in the Philippine casino industry.
Integrated resort operators have traditionally relied on physical gaming floors, hospitality services and tourism-related activities. Online platforms offer another way to reach customers and develop engagement beyond resort locations.
For Okada Manila, OKADA PLAY provides an additional digital channel that complements its established land-based operations.
The platform's early performance suggests that its brand positioning and technology partnership have helped establish an initial customer base.
Nevertheless, maintaining that momentum will depend on continued user engagement, effective customer acquisition, attractive gaming content and reliable platform operations.
The next phase of development will also require attention to regulatory compliance and responsible gaming practices as the platform expands.
Its ability to retain active users and sustain monthly GGR will be important indicators of whether October's performance represents a lasting growth trend.
The distinction between platform GGR and the financial contribution recognised by its technology partner will also matter when assessing the wider commercial impact.
For now, exceeding ₱100 million in monthly GGR and 100,000 daily active users gives OKADA PLAY a substantial early milestone.
The coming months should provide a clearer indication of whether the platform can maintain its growth trajectory and whether PhilWeb can replicate the performance across its wider partner network.
