International Entertainment Corp is making a bold move by entering the Philippine online gaming scene through a new deal with Total Gamezone Xtreme Inc, a DigiPlus unit. This isn’t a从零开始 build of an online gaming platform. Instead, its Philippine subsidiary, New Coast Leisure Inc, will collaborate with TGXI on various aspects like game aggregation and software support.
The deal gives International Entertainment a quicker route into the Philippine online casino and e gaming market. It links LaVie Resort & Casino Manila to DigiPlus’ infrastructure at a time when the Philippine digital gaming market is attracting investor attention. The agreement, set for two years with annual renewals, aims to reduce the time and cost of platform development. NCLI will handle the licence side, while TGXI provides the technology and content layer.
Pagcor approval is crucial for starting the online gaming business. NCLI already has several Pagcor permits. International Entertainment also received legal advice stating that the operations would comply with local law and not violate Hong Kong Gambling Ordinance due to restricted access within the Philippines. The local access point is significant as it allows regulated operators to serve domestic players under Pagcor’s oversight. DigiPlus already has a large role in Philippine digital gaming, and TGXI brings its experience to the LaVie project. The Philippine online gaming market is expected to reach nearly $9.9 billion by 2033, with an 8.29% compound annual growth rate from 2025 to 2033. This move could broaden the company’s revenue base and create new growth drivers.
