E-wallet ban slashes DigiPlus Q3 earnings
Manila Bulletin
|November 7, 2025
Online gaming firm DigiPlus Interactive Corp. saw its third-quarter profit plunge after new government regulations forced e-wallet providers to cut off in-app access to licensed gaming platforms.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), DigiPlus reported a 59-percent drop in net income to P1.71 billion in July to September this year. Despite the quarterly decline, profits for the first nine months of 2025 still rose 16 percent to P10.11 billion.
According to DigiPlus, the sharp third-quarter decrease was a consequence of tighter regulation.
In August, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) required e-wallet providers to delink in-app access to licensed online gaming platforms, which temporarily disrupted player activity and transaction volumes in the industry.
