The capital injection will be executed through a planned increase in PhilWeb’s authorized capital stock from ₱2.6 billion to ₱3.6 billion, pending necessary regulatory and shareholder clearances. This financial infusion is earmarked for upgrading the company’s core B2B infrastructure, specifically targeting the deployment of automated risk management tools, real-time transaction monitoring, and sophisticated player behavior models. By embedding these AI capabilities, PhilWeb intends to bolster its utility for major partners, including Okada Manila, Newport World Resorts, and NUSTAR Resort and Casino.
