Century Entertainment’s online gaming platform is undergoing a ‘comprehensive IT audit’, delaying the publication of the company’s FY2026 results until the end of August.
In a filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 31st, Century Entertainment said auditor Crowe (HK) CPA Limited was reviewing the platform’s systems architecture, data integrity, system access controls and operational continuity.
The process requires coordination between Crowe, Century Entertainment’s IT team in Shenzhen and engineers from its technology service provider.
Century Entertainment described the work as the ‘first comprehensive integration of cross-border technical platforms’ for the newly established business. Additional time was required to align technical protocols, bridge differences in system documentation standards and verify audit trails.
The disclosure comes after the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) confirmed to AGB that World Platinum Technologies (WPT), Century Entertainment’s platform partner, was no longer accredited by the regulator.
Century Entertainment did not address WPT’s accreditation status or explain whether it would affect the platform’s operations. The latest filing also did not identify the technology service provider involved in the audit.
Century Entertainment said the results delay was not attributable to any ‘unresolved disagreement, material irregularity, or adverse financial finding’. Its audit committee also said there were no unresolved accounting or auditing disagreements with Crowe.
The company formally launched its Phase IV online gaming operations in April through an agreement with WPT.
In a June filing, Century Entertainment described WPT as a ‘PAGCOR-accredited service provider’. It said its joint venture used WPT’s licensed and GLI-certified platform to deploy gaming applications through seven gaming venue operators in the Philippines.
Under the agreement, Century Entertainment’s joint venture receives 85 percent of net winning income after tax. WPT receives the remaining 15 percent as a deployment and collection fee.
Phase IV recorded estimated unaudited net winnings before tax of at least HK$45 million ($5.8 million) between April and June, according to Century Entertainment.
The company was originally required to publish its results for the year ended March 31st, 2026 by June 30th.
Trading in Century Entertainment’s Hong Kong-listed shares has been suspended since June 26th, 2025 and will remain halted until further notice.
