Aimed at younger, mobile-first players, the launch expands the company&#8217;s digital gaming portfolio in the Philippines&#8217; regulated online gaming market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloomberry said the platform complements its existing Solaire Online offering by targeting a broader market with a faster and more dynamic gaming environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the launch event, <strong>Greg Hawkins<\/strong>, president and chief operating officer of Bloomberry Resorts Corporation, said: &#8220;For a period now, the online gaming market in this country has operated within an undifferentiated space.

We are no longer dependent on third-party platforms to execute our vision. Tonight is about growth, ownership and the conviction to set our own challenge and back it completely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform operates under the regulatory oversight of the <strong>Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)<\/strong> and incorporates identity verification procedures, responsible gaming measures and data protection standards, the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloomberry reported a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/bloomberry-resorts-corporation-reports-1q-net-loss-amid-softer-vip-gaming-demand\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/bloomberry-resorts-corporation-reports-1q-net-loss-amid-softer-vip-gaming-demand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">net loss of PHP125m (US$2.2m)<\/a>&nbsp;for the first quarter of 2026.
