The platform is licensed by PAGCOR (Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation) and targets users primarily in Vietnam and the broader Asian region, claiming over 2 million registered members and processing withdrawals within 5–10 minutes.

The platform operates under PAGCOR licensing from the Philippines and provides various gaming categories including sports betting, live casino, fishing games, slot games, and lottery/lottery-style games. Note: This appears to be an online gambling platform rather than a technology/AI product company as the schema suggests.
