A NIGHT after the celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League and gaming platform OKBet renewed their “love affair” intended to help more aspiring players reach their full potential and eventually realize their dreams.
Boxing legend and MPBL founder Manny Pacquiao was elated by the support being given by the country’s leading gaming platform for the league’s coming fifth regular season.
“I am looking forward to continue working with OKBet, which is one of our trusted partners in championing sports development and the welfare of Filipino athletes,” the former senator said during the OKBet Grand Launch billed as “Together, We Rise’ at the Hilton Manila Hotel.
“OKBet shares our goals to provide more opportunities to aspiring talents from all over the country, and help the local competitive scene recover from the pandemic,” he added.
OKBet vowed to keep the partnership more vibrant as part of its main goal to help revitalize the country’s economy.
After sealing a historic deal with the MPBL last year, OKbet launched its “Play It Forward” sports development program and enlisted the help of some of the league’s most talented players and coaches to host free basketball clinics for the Filipino youth.
It also acquired the rights to the Makati OKBet Kings in the MPBL, which will compete with at least 29 other teams from different cities and provinces around the country starting March 10.
As a reliable ally of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., OKBet is committed to uphold the integrity of the gaming industry.
“We are remain committed to protecting the integrity of the gaming industry as partner advocates for responsible gaming;” Pacquiao said in the affair that saw OKBet showcase its latest innovations, including a new collection of electronic games called OKGames.
The company also introduced various coming products and services, such as separate platforms for electronic bingo, esports betting, and live casino games.
