Long before the advent of smartphones and digital platforms, DigiPlus Interactive Corp., then known as Leisure and Resorts World Corp., built its legacy through neighborhood bingo halls that many Filipinos fondly recall as “Bingo Bonanza.”
Through Bingo Bonanza, the company became part of everyday Filipino life, creating community spaces where people gathered to play, connect, and unwind.
When the pandemic hit, like many businesses, DigiPlus faced a defining inflection point: evolve its decades-old model or risk losing relevance in a rapidly shifting entertainment landscape.
The turning point was BingoPlus.
Launched in January 2022, BingoPlus became the Philippines’ first interactive livestreaming digital gaming platform. What began as a high-stakes pivot has since evolved into an integrated entertainment ecosystem spanning online and offline channels, engaging a wide range of Filipino entertainment fans nationwide.
Scaling a fast-growing, player-favorite platform
BingoPlus, as the company’s flagship platform, reflects DigiPlus’ broader strategy of combining technology, seamless user experience, and culturally resonant content to serve a growing Filipino audience. By translating familiar gameplay into modern interactive formats, the company retained its legacy base while engaging new, mobile-first audiences.
Innovation, strategic focus, and disciplined execution led to BingoPlus’ next phases of growth.
By 2023, BingoPlus had established itself as a full-fledged digital entertainment platform, offering over 1,000 e-games across categories including bingo, card games, arcade, and slots.
DigiPlus invested in and expanded proprietary capabilities, including world-class livestreaming studios and in-house game development, enabling continuous innovation and creation of original, localized content.
At the core of the platform is Bingo Mega, its flagship livestreamed bingo experience, complemented by a catalogue of “Perya” games such as Color Game, showcasing digital adaptations of Filipino carnival staples.
In 2024, Pinoy Drop Ball emerged as a breakout hit and became one of the platform’s most-played titles. Launched as the Philippines’ first-ever livestreamed drop ball game, it further expanded BingoPlus’ growing suite of Perya games. The launch demonstrated DigiPlus’ strong investment in research and development to continuously deliver fresh, localized entertainment experiences for Filipino players year after year.
By 2025, BingoPlus had scaled into a comprehensive platform serving tens of millions of users, complemented by over 130 physical sites nationwide that continue to offer traditional bingo experiences while also serving as physical payments and customer support touchpoints for digital users.
The platform has since expanded into new verticals such as casual games and short-form video content, while sustaining strong performance from its homegrown livestreaming games.
Responsible Gaming at the core of growth
As the brand continued to scale, BingoPlus also deepened its investment in Responsible Gaming and player protection initiatives.
Over the years, it strengthened its pioneering Responsible Gaming platform features, including Time Control Settings and Spend & Loss Limits, empowering users to better manage and monitor their gaming activity.
Together with DigiPlus and DigiPlus Foundation (then BingoPlus Foundation), BingoPlus also championed the “Pusta de Peligro” educational campaign to promote safer and more mindful gaming to Filipino audiences through relatable storytelling, expert discussions, and community-led initiatives.
Most recently in 2025, BingoPlus, as part of DigiPlus group, further reinforced player protection through the launch of an industry-first surety bond program providing up to Php1 million coverage per verified player wallet, and the expansion of secure player payment touchpoints via partnerships with BSP-accredited providers.
Today, BingoPlus stands as a leading digital platform and a trusted household entertainment brand in the Philippines.
Evolving with a vision of ‘Entertainment for Good’
As BingoPlus celebrates its fourth year, it stands as a true testament to DigiPlus’ transformation from a traditional operator into a digital-first entertainment company.
That very evolution finds its grandest expression in the annual BingoPlus Night. Now in its fourth year, the gala serves as the flagship celebration of a brand that has successfully ushered traditional bingo into the digital era and powered DigiPlus’ rise to unprecedented heights in recent years.
This year’s edition, happening on May 19, promises an even grander revelry that brings together the country’s brightest celebrities and artists. Carrying the theme “Step into the Next PLUS,” the event marks another milestone moment for BingoPlus as DigiPlus continues to expand its digital entertainment ecosystem.
“The BingoPlus transformation story was a leap of faith, but it was always driven by our strong commitment to our customers,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco. “Over the past four years, BingoPlus has grown into a platform deeply rooted in Filipino culture, with a mission to bring traditional Pinoy entertainment into the modern age. We look forward to the forthcoming BingoPlus Night as another celebration of that journey and of the people who continue to shape the brand into what it is today.”
The May 19 festivities can be streamed live via the official BingoPlus website, the BingoPlus app, and its official social media platforms on Facebook, X, and YouTube. Special television broadcasts are also slated to air on GTV on May 22 at 8 p.m., and on GMA on May 23 at 10 a.m.
BingoPlus’ evolution from neighborhood bingo halls to a powerhouse digital entertainment platform reflects DigiPlus’ continuing commitment to champion Filipino culture and advance its vision of transforming the world of entertainment for good.
