DigiPlus Interactive Corp., operator of the digital entertainment platforms BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, reported a net income of PHP8.4 billion ($147 million) for the first six months of 2025, marking a 61 percent increase from the same period in 2024.
The strong financial performance comes as the Philippine online gambling industry faces heightened regulatory scrutiny and legislative review.
According to its latest filing with the Philippine Stock Exchange, total revenues rose 47 percent to PHP47.78 billion ($836 million) from PHP32.56 billion ($570 million) a year earlier. Growth was driven by increased business activity and the rollout of new games and licenses approved by PAGCOR. The company’s EBITDA for the first half reached PHP9.09 billion ($159 million), up 65 percent from PHP5.51 billion ($96 million) in the prior-year period.
For the second quarter alone, DigiPlus posted net income of PHP4.20 billion ($74 million), a 30 percent year-on-year increase, while revenues climbed 31 percent to PHP24.71 billion ($432 million). EBITDA rose 32 percent to PHP4.50 billion ($79 million), supported by new game offerings across its platforms.
The company’s contribution to government coffers remained significant, with DigiPlus remitting PHP18.4 billion ($322 million) in taxes and regulatory fees during the first half of 2025.
It is also worth noting that DigiPlus was one of the best-performing stocks on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) in 2023 and 2024. In 2023 alone, its stock price rose by 232 percent. However, amid ongoing regulatory changes and discussions about implementing stricter controls over the industry, the company’s share price has dropped sharply in recent months.
Responsible gaming initiatives
Amid these regulatory shifts, DigiPlus has taken a leadership role in promoting responsible gaming practices. On August 7th, 2025, the company joined the Interim Council of the PlaySafe Alliance of the Philippines, a coalition of 19 founding organizations committed to combating illegal gambling.
“This alliance is not about competition—it’s about collaboration,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco. “By working as one, we can ensure that online gambling in the Philippines becomes more secure, transparent, and beneficial to both players and the nation.”
The alliance underscores DigiPlus’ commitment to fostering a safer and more sustainable online gambling environment for Filipino players, while reinforcing its position as a key player in the digital entertainment sector.
