DigiPlus Interactive Corp. has secured licenses from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB) in South Africa, enabling the Philippine-based digital entertainment company to enter one of Africa’s largest online gaming markets.
In a filing to the Philippine Stock Exchange, DigiPlus said the approvals ‘pave the way for DigiPlus’ entry into South Africa,’ a market estimated to have generated $4.9 billion in gaming revenues in 2025. The move underscores the company’s ongoing push to expand beyond its domestic base.
According to the filing, DigiPlus received approval for three licenses: a National Manufacturer License, a Bookmaker License, and a Bookmaker Premises License. The WCGRB regulates the Western Cape province, which accounted for approximately 31 percent of South Africa’s national online gaming revenues in 2025.
The company noted that Western Cape is ‘a top destination for international operators’ due to its ‘transparent regulatory processes and digital readiness,’ factors that have helped position the region as the country’s leading online gaming market.
DigiPlus, operator of BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, has been pursuing international growth opportunities as part of its broader strategy to diversify revenues and scale its platform.
In its earlier overseas expansion, DigiPlus secured a federal license in Brazil in 2025 through its wholly owned subsidiary. However, the company paused the soft launch of its GamePlus platform in October the same year, citing a strategic decision to refine its international rollout through deeper cultural adaptation and player insight.
