DigiPlus seeks fair, fact-based dialogue on online gambling rules
July 24, 2025
|The Philippine Star
Digital entertainment company DigiPlus Interactive Corp. has appealed to the government and lawmakers for a rational approach and a fair dialogue amid growing concerns about online gambling.
DigiPlus, the operator behind leading online gaming platforms BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone, expressed alarm that responsible and law-abiding operators "are being swept into a tide of suspicion meant to catch those who have never complied with regulation in the first place."
The company said that a number of the measures being debated in Congress, such as rigorous know-your-customer checks, mandatory age verification that bars minors and vulnerable players, self-exclusion tools and responsible-gaming prompts, have been in place in DigiPlus platforms since November 2024.
DigiPlus said that it has always done its best to align its operations with regulatory expectations from Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) and other relevant government agencies.
