CLAIM: Willie Revillame is promoting an online casino.
RATING: FALSE
A Facebook page used a photo of Willie Revillame to falsely imply that he was endorsing an online casino.
The manipulated photo was also used by different online casino Facebook pages, further spreading the false claim.
The photo of Revillame in the post was originally uploaded on X (formerly Twitter) in 2021 by an e-commerce company, introducing him as their newest ambassador.
On July 7, 2021, Revillame launched a promo trial for his gaming app called Wil to Play, with the goal of giving his audience the opportunity to win extra prizes beyond his game show.
However, as of 2024, the application is no longer available on the Google Play Store, and there have been no updates regarding its status. Leigh San Diego
