PhilWeb signs strategic agreement with FBM

PhilWeb Corporation has announced a strategic service agreement with FBM to expand online gaming capabilities across its nationwide network. The partnership will allow FBM to integrate an online platform directly with its existing portfolio of electronic gaming machines and venues, creating one of the Philippines’ largest coordinated online-to-offline (O2O) gaming ecosystems.

Under the agreement, PhilWeb will provide technology services, systems integration, and regulatory-compliant operational support. The new platform is designed to layer online features onto FBM’s physical machine network, enabling digital enhancements that connect seamlessly with in-venue play. The rollout is expected to begin with thousands of units, with potential expansion to up to 30,000 machines across more than 500 locations.

PhilWeb said the collaboration aims to elevate player engagement by introducing new digital functionalities that complement in-venue experiences. The companies expect the O2O model to strengthen venue performance and contribute to the broader growth of the regulated electronic gaming sector in the Philippines.

FBM, which specialises in video bingo, slot machines and other electronic gaming products, has maintained a strong presence in the Philippines for more than two decades. It is widely recognised as a market leader in the e-bingo segment, operating a nationwide network that reaches hundreds of gaming venues.

PhilWeb noted that the partnership aligns with its strategy to support licensed gaming operators with advanced technology solutions, particularly as the sector accelerates its digital transformation. The company emphasised that integrating online capabilities with regulated physical venues ensures compliance with Philippine gaming regulations while offering a modernised gaming experience for customers.

Further updates on platform deployment and venue integration are expected as rollout progresses.
