In a statement on Friday, Erick Su, Head of ArenaPlus, said he will join the panel “Innovations in Responsible Gaming and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)” on 11 December from 2:45 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., sharing DigiPlus’ approach to player protection and community-focused initiatives.

Pioneer and industry leader

“As the pioneer and industry leader in Philippine online gaming and digital entertainment, DigiPlus is proud to be at the forefront of global industry dialogue at G2E Asia,” Su said.

“Our participation will showcase how we champion responsible gaming and sustainable growth, as DigiPlus continues to evolve from a local to a global entertainment brand.”

DigiPlus also serves as the Exclusive Conference Track Sponsor at G2E Asia @ the Philippines 2025: Connecting People and Innovations for the Philippine Gaming Market, alongside its brands BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone.
