Under an operating agreement signed on February 13th, 2026, the company’s joint venture was granted access to WPT’s licensed gaming platform, together with related content and technology, to develop, operate, and monetize mobile applications in the region, excluding the Philippines. The arrangement is designed to ensure that all activities comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
Pursuant to the agreement, WPT, a licensed Electronic Gaming System Service Provider accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), will provide its proprietary platform and regulatory infrastructure to support the project. The joint venture will focus on application development, customization, and commercialization, while WPT remains responsible for regulated gaming operations, compliance, and reporting.
The company said the partnership allows it to pursue ‘cost-efficient market entry’ in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific digital gaming sector. By leveraging WPT’s PAGCOR-accredited platform, proprietary content, and established regulatory framework, the joint venture can deploy products without obtaining independent gaming licenses or developing core platform technology.
Management noted that this structure is intended to accelerate product deployment while limiting upfront investment and operational complexity. The agreement enables the development of up to ten mobile gaming applications across approved jurisdictions.
The operating agreement has an initial term of three years, with automatic annual renewals unless terminated with prior notice. WPT will receive 15 percent of net winnings generated from the apps, with settlements conducted on a monthly basis. Net winnings are derived from gross gaming revenue after deduction of mandatory gaming taxes, regulatory levies, and the runner’s fee. The joint venture will also be granted secure access to operational data, including player activity and performance metrics, to support commercial and analytical functions.
The partnership marks Century Entertainment’s shift toward a ‘performance-linked’ platform-based business model, aligning revenue with application results while maintaining regulatory separation between technology services and licensed gaming operations.
Separately, the company said it continues to work with its auditor to resolve issues related to a prior disclaimer of opinion and to meet the requirements for resuming share trading, which has been suspended since June 2025.
