PHILWEB ONLINE GAMBLING SOFTWARE DEBUTED
22 January 2010
Blackjack, baccarat, roulette and slots
offered at new online casino operation
The state-owned Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.
(PAGCORP) has rolled out its first Internet-based casino
gaming service powered by a unit of publicly listed
online gaming firm Philweb Corp, reports the Philippine
Daily Inquirer.
The casino gaming website,
branded egamesonline.com.ph, is operated by Philweb
Homeplay Inc. and will offer traditional casino games
like blackjack, baccarat, roulette and slots to Filipino
players who are 21 years of age or older.
“This
is an important step in fulfilling Pagcor’s mission to
deliver secure, legal, fair and convenient games of
chance to adults throughout the country,” Philweb
president Dennis Valdes said in a statement. “We believe
this site will be attractive to affluent customers who
own their own computers at home and prefer to play at
their convenience and in privacy,” he added.
E-games Online is supported by PhilWeb’s payment
platform, which enables users to deposit to casino
accounts by visiting cashiers in Metro Manila, through
accredited banks, and via the Click2Pay e-wallet. Other
payment methods, such as load PINs, money transfers via
online banking, and local credit cards will be added
soon, the company announced.
PAGCORP is a
Philippines government agency that regulates and
operates all games of chance.
PhilWeb, led by
former trade minister Roberto Ongpin, is the country’s
first and biggest listed online technology firm and
works closely with PAGCORP to offer a network of 171
Pagcor e-Games online cafes throughout the country.
It expects to post about P1 billion in net profit
this year as various investments in 2009 are seen to
start bearing fruit in the recovering domestic economy.
