DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the Philippines’ leading online gambling platform, will officially launch operations in Brazil on September 22nd with its GamePlus brand, marking the company’s first international expansion.
The move comes after DigiPlus secured a federal license earlier this year through its wholly owned subsidiary, DigiPlus Brazil Interactive Ltda. The license authorizes the company to operate land-based and online sports betting, electronic games, live game studios, and other fixed-odds betting activities in Brazil.
Brazil legalized fixed-odds betting on sports and online games in 2023, creating one of the fastest-growing iGaming markets globally.
GamePlus to debut with over 150 local titles
DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco described the Brazilian launch as a key step in the company’s global strategy. “Our entry into this dynamic market is the culmination of a global-first mindset, strong collaboration between our teams, and an unwavering commitment to responsible gaming operations,” Tanco said. “We are not just bringing a platform to Brazil; we are bringing a new standard of safe digital entertainment.”
GamePlus, the group’s first international brand, will debut with more than 150 of Brazil’s top games in both free-to-play and real-money versions. DigiPlus Brazil Country Manager Graham Tidey noted that exclusive content tailored to the local market will follow, including titles inspired by Brazilian folklore, casual games, and sports-themed offerings.
“GamePlus is designed to deliver simple, fun entertainment to the Brazilian market, filling a key strategic vertical for DigiPlus,” Tidey said.
The company also highlighted Brazil’s regulatory framework as an opportunity to differentiate its services by prioritizing transparency, player protection, and responsible gaming measures. DigiPlus said it will invest in building a strong local talent base to ensure cultural relevance and operational sustainability.
DigiPlus diversifies amid regulatory uncertainty at home
According to the company, Brazil’s regulated betting market generated $3.2 billion in gross gaming revenue in the first half of 2025, underscoring its appeal to international operators. DigiPlus also revealed plans to introduce BingoPlus, its flagship Philippine platform, in Brazil in 2026.
The expansion follows a period of strong financial performance at home. In the first half of 2025, DigiPlus reported net income of PHP8.4 billion ($147 million), up 61 percent year-on-year, supported by PHP47.8 billion ($838 million) in revenues and robust growth in its retail gaming segment. EBITDA rose 65 percent to PHP9.1 billion ($160 million).
Amid uncertainty in the Philippine online gambling market, DigiPlus has sought to diversify its portfolio. Beyond online gaming, the company has considered acquisitions in the land-based casino sector to mitigate regulatory risks. While no deals have been finalized, the Brazil launch underscores DigiPlus’ intention to establish a foothold in new, regulated markets.
