Leading digital gaming company DigiPlus is here to stay as it reassures its stakeholders that the company is unaffected by the order of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to ban all Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) during his State of the Nation Address at the resumption of the congressional session yesterday.
“DigiPlus is not a POGO or an Internet Gaming Licensee (IGL) as defined under Philippine laws,” DigiPlus President Andy Tsui said on Tuesday.
As a localized digital gaming company, DigiPlus caters to customers based in the Philippines and as such, is required to have physical branches around the country.
Local gaming operators like DigiPlus are required to have physical gaming sites within the country before they could set up their digital gaming platforms so all of its clients within the Philippine territory can access their services.
DigiPlus offers digital entertainment platforms BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, Perya Game, and BingoPlus Poker. Its offerings are designed for Filipinos, featuring traditional games that are well-loved by the locals.
In addition, DigiPlus is held to a different legal standard not only as a publicly listed company but also because it had to secure different licenses to be able to operate the traditional bingo, electronic bingo games, electronic gaming services, sports betting, specialty games, and poker. It also must secure gaming system service provider accreditations, and more.
“As such, local gaming enthusiasts need not worry. Fans of DigiPlus’ products will be glad to know that their top-of-the-line platforms will continue running without interruption, unaffected by the recent presidential announcement,” Tsui said.
DigiPlus and its products are committed to driving innovation and contributing to the country’s economic growth and social development. In 2023, DigiPlus paid ₱13.1 billion in taxes to the Philippine government. It provides jobs to over 2,000 employees in different parts of the country. DigiPlus allocated over ₱100 million towards corporate social responsibility projects under BingoPlus Foundation.
DigiPlus Interactive Corp. pioneered digital entertainment in the Philippines. It introduced leading platforms BingoPlus and ArenaPlus, widely known for their engaging experiences in interactive gaming and sports entertainment. DigiPlus also operates PeryaGame, Tongits+, and GameZone, with more to come. For more information, visit: www.digiplus.com.ph.
