DigiPlus taps Aussie-backed Pay&Go for wider payments

DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus) is expanding its payment footprint through a new deal with Pay&Go, the self-service kiosk network operated by BTI Payments Philippines, a subsidiary of Australia-based Banktech. 

The online gaming operator said on Thursday that the tie-up gives players access to wallet loading across more than 3,500 kiosks nationwide, a major boost to its physical payment touchpoints.

The partnership widens secure, convenient cash-in options for users, with a cash-out feature targeted for early next year. The rollout initially begins with BingoPlus before gradually moving to ArenaPlus and GameZone.

"Our commitment at DigiPlus has always been to deliver digital entertainment that is engaging, trustworthy, and service-oriented. Achieving that requires strong partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to customer trust and service excellence,” said Jasper Vicencio, President of AB Leisure Exponent, Inc. and Total Gamezone Xtreme, Inc., subsidiaries of DigiPlus.

“This partnership with Pay&Go is grounded in innovation, accessibility, and a shared mission to serve more Filipinos through secure and convenient payment touchpoints. This means more access, more convenience, and more ways for our community to enjoy the DigiPlus experience wherever they are."

Vicencio led the agreement, formally signed on Wednesday alongside BTI Payments Philippines CEO Danilo Ibarra and COO Mariel Medina.

"We are excited to support DigiPlus with Pay&Go’s nationwide footprint. Together, we’re making trusted payment access available to more BingoPlus players across the country, and soon with ArenaPlus and GameZone,” said Ibarra. “DigiPlus sets a high bar on player trust, and Pay&Go is determined to meet it.”

Despite regulatory and operational challenges in the local gaming and payments sector, DigiPlus assured users that it only partnered with channels certified by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, in line with Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation requirements. 

DigiPlus currently maintains a customer support network that includes in-house 24/7 assistance, more than 130 physical BingoPlus stores, over-the-counter payment channels, and a surety bond safeguarding player wallets.
