DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus) on Monday, Dec. 15, 2025, said it continues to regain momentum amid an evolving regulatory and competitive environment, supported by disciplined execution and targeted operational initiatives across its digital gaming platforms.

Over the past several months, DigiPlus’ online gross gaming revenues have steadily improved, reflecting the Company’s proactive measures to strengthen platform resilience, enhance player experience, and ensure operational continuity.

To support this momentum, DigiPlus accelerated efforts to transition players to its proprietary app-based platforms, reinforcing security, accessibility, and control over the overall user experience. As part of these initiatives, the Company partnered with PhilFirst Insurance to introduce a surety bond program that insures player funds, providing an added layer of financial protection and reinforcing player confidence. DigiPlus also expanded its payment ecosystem by introducing new cash-in and cash-out options through BSP-accredited and leading providers Bayad and Pay&Go, further improving convenience and accessibility for players. These initiatives are beginning to deliver positive results.

In parallel, and in anticipation of a more robust regulatory environment, DigiPlus continues to strengthen its self-regulation efforts. The Company is reviewing and refining its advertising and marketing materials to ensure campaigns are responsibly designed and do not inadvertently reach youth or vulnerable sectors. DigiPlus is also enhancing its responsible gaming initiatives through educational campaigns, self-exclusion tools, and partnerships with mental health professionals and financial literacy experts.

“We assure the investing public that there are no material changes to DigiPlus’ operating performance, regulatory standing, or overall business outlook,” DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco said.

“The Company continues to execute its strategy as planned, with operations and financial performance tracking in line with expectations,” Mr. Tanco added. “DigiPlus remains focused on disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation.”

DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus), the pioneer and leading digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, reported a consolidated net income of ₱10.11 billion in the first nine months of 2025, a 16 percent increase from the same period in 2024.

The Company’s performance reflected continued growth in its retail games segment as well as contributions from new product offerings and operational efficiencies.

Total revenues rose 30 percent to ₱66.83 billion from ₱51.56 billion in the same period last year, supported by increased business activity and the rollout of new games and licenses approved by PAGCOR. EBITDA for the first nine months reached ₱11.13 billion, up 19 percent from ₱9.34 billion a year ago.

In the first nine months of 2025, DigiPlus paid ₱25.59 billion in government taxes and regulatory fees, reflecting a 9 percent increase from ₱23.40 billion in the same period of 2024. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, DigiPlus paid ₱7.17 billion in government taxes and regulatory fees, down 26 percent due to the impact of the e-wallet delinking directive.

In the third quarter of the year, DigiPlus net income declined 59 percent to ₱1.71 billion, while EBITDA decreased 55 percent to ₱2.0 billion. Revenues, meanwhile, contracted 23 percent to ₱19.05 billion on impact of tighter regulation, which required e-wallet providers to delink in-app access to licensed online gaming platforms. This temporarily disrupted player activity and transaction volumes across the industry during the period.

In response, DigiPlus took proactive measures to enhance player protection and customer service platforms. In partnership with Philippine First Insurance Co. Inc., the Company introduced the country’s first surety bond program for online gaming players, providing financial protection of up to ₱1 million per verified player wallet.

DigiPlus also partnered with CIS Bayad Center Inc. to expand over-the-counter payment options nationwide, offering BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone users more secure and convenient ways to transact and manage their accounts.

Both initiatives complement DigiPlus’ existing 24/7 customer service operations and more than 130 BingoPlus retail outlets, underscoring its commitment to deliver safe, dependable, and responsible digital entertainment.

Despite the temporary moderation in third-quarter earnings, the Company maintained overall growth momentum for the first nine months of 2025, supported by ongoing product innovation, enhanced user experience, and strengthened corporate governance practices.

The period marked several milestones and major developments for DigiPlus as it continued to advance its leadership as a publicly listed digital entertainment company.

“This period demonstrates DigiPlus’ resilience amid temporary setbacks. Throughout this period, we continue to focus on digital innovation, player protection, and good governance,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco. “As we grow our business and expand responsibly into new markets, we remain focused on upholding global corporate governance and responsible gaming standards, while creating positive impact on the Filipino nation.”

Achieving blue-chip status with PSE Index inclusion

Effective August 18, 2025, DigiPlus was included in the Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi), which tracks the 30 largest and most actively traded companies listed on the Exchange. The inclusion was based on the Company’s market capitalization, liquidity, and compliance with the PSE’s index eligibility criteria.

Championing community resilience, mental health support, and national sports development

Through its social development arm, BingoPlus Foundation, DigiPlus provided ₱6 million in relief assistance to 56,000 residents in Northern Cebu following the September 30 earthquake, under its BayanihanPlus program. The Foundation delivered essential supplies and medical aid to affected communities, underscoring DigiPlus’ commitment to community support in times of crisis.

On October 1, the Foundation launched EmbracePLUS, a free mental health helpline established with LoveYourself to provide Psychological First Aid and counseling support through trained telehealth associates.

Bringing the Philippines to the global sports arena, DigiPlus was the presenting partner for the International Series Philippines golf tournament, the country’s first hosting of the prestigious global sporting event. Beyond the tournament, DigiPlus extended contributions to various sports organizations, including the Asian Development Tour, the National Golf Association of the Philippines, and the Philippine Sports Commission.

Earning first Golden Arrow for good governance

Most recently, on October 23, the Company received its first 2-Golden Arrow Award from the Institute of Corporate Directors for excellence in corporate governance and sustainability reporting, based on the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard. The recognition underscores DigiPlus’ commitment to transparency, accountability, and long-term value creation for its stakeholders.
