DigiPlus readies platforms for regulatory shift

Listed gaming operator DigiPlus Interactive Corp. is preparing its digital gaming business for tighter regulation as it works to sustain steady revenue growth through operational and compliance-focused initiatives.

The company said Monday that it has accelerated the migration of players to its proprietary app-based platforms, giving the company greater control over security, accessibility, and user experience. 

It has also partnered with PhilFirst Insurance to roll out a surety bond program that insures player funds, aimed at reinforcing financial protection and boosting user confidence.

“We assure the investing public that there are no material changes to DigiPlus’ operating performance, regulatory standing, or overall business outlook,” DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco said.

“The Company continues to execute its strategy as planned, with operations and financial performance tracking in line with expectations,” he added.

Ahead of anticipated regulatory tightening, the company is strengthening its self-regulatory measures. 

DigiPlus expanded its payment ecosystem by adding new cash-in and cash-out channels through BSP-accredited providers Bayad and Pay&Go, improving transaction convenience and accessibility for users.

DigiPlus is likewise reviewing advertising and marketing campaigns to prevent exposure to youth and vulnerable sectors, while expanding responsible gaming initiatives through educational efforts, self-exclusion tools, and partnerships with mental health and financial literacy experts.
