DigiPlus adds P33.7-B to government revenues

DigiPlus Interactive, the company behind digital entertainment platforms BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, SpinPlus and GameZone, said Tuesday it contributed P33.7 billion in taxes and regulatory fees in 2024.

In a statement, the firm said the contribution reaffirms its commitment to nation-building and positions it as one of the largest taxpayers in the digital entertainment sector.

DigiPlus said the funds support public services, infrastructure projects and economic development programs.

"Our P33.7 billion contribution in taxes and regulatory fees is a direct investment in the country’s future," DigiPlus chairperson Eusebio Tanco said.

"These funds help build infrastructure that uplift millions of Filipinos. As a responsible corporate citizen, we are committed to ensuring that our success translates into tangible benefits for the nation," he added.

The company said the P33.7 billion contribution is comparable to the estimated cost of building 13,200 classrooms, 165 fully equipped public hospitals or 3,500 housing units, though it does not directly fund those projects.

DigiPlus also said it has generated over 3,000 jobs through its operations at more than 130 physical sites nationwide and its digital entertainment products. The company also supports community-building through the BingoPlus Foundation.
