DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus), the pioneer and leading digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, highlighted the growing importance of responsible gaming in digital platforms as it participated in a panel discussion at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia Philippines on December 11 at the Manila Marriott Hotel in Pasay City.

Erick Su, Head of ArenaPlus, DigiPlus’ flagship sportsbook platform, discusses the importance of proactive, technology-enabled responsible gaming during G2E Asia @ the Philippines 2025

Representing DigiPlus on the panel “Innovations in Responsible Gaming and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)” was Erick Su, Head of ArenaPlus, the company’s flagship sportsbook platform. The discussion brought together industry leaders to examine how operators and regulators can balance accessibility, innovation, and player protection in an increasingly digital gaming environment.

During the discussion, Su noted that the always-on nature of digital platforms requires responsible gaming measures to be built directly into platform design and operations. This places greater responsibility on digital operators to embed early safeguards and structured processes that support healthy play.

A proactive, player-first approach to responsible gaming

DigiPlus outlined a four-step responsible gaming framework continually being developed, with new innovations set for broader implementation across its platforms beginning in 2026. The framework covers education, prevention, intervention, and treatment support.

Education starts at onboarding, where DigiPlus provides information on the platform’s responsible gaming features and conducts Know-Your-Customer (KYC) processes to help prevent access by minors or restricted persons.

Using aggregated, consent-based customer data and analytics, the platform reviews general play patterns to identify early signs of risk and recommend preventive measures to help players stay in control.

If and when potential risks are identified, players are then encouraged to use built-in platform tools such as bet and deposit limits, session duration settings, and other responsible gaming options. DigiPlus’ customer support is available 24/7 to assist users in setting up and activating these tools.

For players requiring further assistance, DigiPlus provides guidance on self-exclusion and, where authorized, helps facilitate the process through appropriate regulatory channels. These efforts are complemented by the company’s broader CSR programs and collaborations with external organizations offering professional help and guidance.

“Regulatory requirements are the minimum. To promote sustainable gaming, operators need to be proactive in using technology to deliver responsible gaming measures for players at an early stage,” said Erick Su, Head of ArenaPlus.

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.”
