The Asian based online gambling operator, Fun88.com, which until now worked with a license issued by the First Cagayan Leisure and Resort Corporation in the Philippines, has announced that it has now been granted UK white list status – meaning that it can offer its services and products to players in the United Kingdom. The new status is the result of Fun88.com being awarded an operating license from the Isle of Man. Other operators such as Paddy Power and Poker Stars also work off the Island.

"I am delighted that Fun88.com have chosen the Isle of Man and I look forward to seeing the company flourish and grow on the Island," said Garth Kimber, Head of e-Gaming on the Isle of Man. "They are further proof that quality gaming companies are finding that the Isle of Man is succeeding in creating the right environment to do business from. We continually work with our license holders to maintain the environment and look forward to a relationship where we can continue to assist Fun88.com with their future growth."
