BingoPlus President Jasper Vicencio says responsible gaming and recognizing a company’s social duty create a safe and reliable environment for growth.
Speaking at the ASEAN Gaming Summit, Vicencio delivered a concise yet impactful address, showcasing how his company is blending innovation, responsibility, and trust to elevate the digital gaming landscape in the Philippines and beyond.
Vicencio opened with a striking figure: BingoPlus contributed PHP33.7 billion ($591,228 million) in taxes last year, a testament to its economic footprint. “This is an investment in our country’s future,” he said, painting a vivid picture of the potential impact – funding for 13,200 classrooms, 165 hospitals, or 3,500 housing units. “The government can channel these resources into good causes,” he added, underscoring the company’s role as a partner in national progress.
Since its founding in 2022, BingoPlus has grown into a household name, boasting 38 million players and establishing itself as a leading digital entertainment platform. Vicencio attributed this success to a focus on reliability. “Players trust us,” he said, emphasizing that BingoPlus has worked diligently to create a dependable gaming experience that resonates with millions.
A key pillar of this trust, Vicencio explained, is the BingoPlus Foundation, the company’s corporate social arm. The Foundation has pledged PHP100 million ($1.75 million) to support worthy causes, with a strong emphasis on responsible gaming. “We’ve launched an information campaign to raise awareness and promote playing our games responsibly,” he noted. This initiative reflects BingoPlus’s commitment to fostering a safer, more enjoyable environment for all players – a priority Vicencio described as non-negotiable.
The speech struck a chord with the Summit’s audience of regulators, operators, and industry stakeholders. Vicencio’s blend of hard numbers and heartfelt mission painted BingoPlus as a trailblazer with a conscience. “We’re adamant about building a gaming experience that’s both fun and secure,” he concluded, leaving attendees with a clear message: reliability isn’t just a goal – it’s the foundation of BingoPlus’s success.
As the ASEAN Gaming Summit 2025 unfolded, Vicencio’s words offered a refreshing take on how digital platforms can thrive while giving back. For an industry navigating rapid change, his speech was a bright spot—proof that profitability and responsibility can go hand in hand.
