Okada is the home of Pokerstars Live Manila. Currently, there is no update on when it will resume operation. It has stopped its operation in compliance with the government call for a nationwide lockdown to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
The last news they announced is the cancellation of the Manila Megastack Event that is scheduled to happen on December 6 – 13,2020.

Just stay tuned and we will announce any promotion of the site.
Hope to see you soon Poker Playas!
