PhilWeb Corp, an online casino gambling firm based in the Philippines have this week acquired a license to provide mobile gaming in East Timor. This development represents a huge milestone for the company, paving the way for their planned expansion into the Asian Pacific region.

PhilWeb’s President Dennis Valdes declared, “Our track record in mobile gaming was critical to the government of East Timor in granting us this license.” The license states PhilWeb may immediately begin releasing games, including SMS-based instant win options, under the brand name Gold Mobile.

Mr Valdes added, “We are also actively narrowing out search for partners in Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and in other countries in the region. This year will be a banner year for PhilWeb’s Asia Pacific division, as it expands the company’s business into markets beyond our Pilipino borders.” The company has already recently began to trade in Laos, Palau, Laos, and Cambodia via joint venture agreements.
