In a disclosure to the stock exchange on Monday, PhilWeb said it will provide “platform technology, system support, gaming content integration, marketing and operational services” for Newport World Resorts’ NWRPlay platform. 

PhilWeb said the tie-up will help the company expand its business-to-business footprint in regulated online gaming, giving it access to Newport World Resorts’ ecosystem of hotels, retail, and entertainment.
