Games available include video poker, blackjack, mini baccarat, slots, roulette, sic bo (a dice game), craps and keno.
The casino has been licensed by the Philippine government through its regulatory body, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming, Sage said in a statement.
But the company stresses that foreign nationals wishing to play are bound by their own countries' laws. For example, residents of the U.S. are prohibited from playing due to the 1961 Wires Act that prohibits the placing of a bet or wager over a telephone line.
More recently, U.S. Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona has filed an Internet-specific anti-gaming bill called the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act, expected to be signed into law in the U.S. later this year.
Under a variety of laws adapted from ordinary gambling laws, or aimed at ISPs (Internet service providers), Internet gambling is illegal for residents of Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan, but currently legal in Australia, despite that country's recent efforts to curb online gambling operators.
