DigiPlus Interactive, in collaboration with its prominent brands BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, along with its social development branch BingoPlus Foundation, has teamed up with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to officially introduce a nationwide responsible gaming initiative. This partnership strengthens DigiPlus’ unwavering pledge to prioritize responsible gaming, ensuring that gaming continues to be an enjoyable and constructive experience.
As a hub for reliable entertainment platforms, responsible gaming has always been a core aspect of DigiPlus’ vision. Under its “Pusta de Peligro” initiative – a colloquial allusion to “Petsa de Peligro” – BingoPlus Foundation has led efforts aimed at informing and empowering players to adopt caution and self-discipline in their gaming activities. Initiatives include the Tamang Laro, Tamang Panalo webinar series, which not only guided players on maintaining balance and control in their gaming habits but also addressed mental wellness and support interventions. Additional measures include tailored financial coaching offered to the record-setting P154 million BingoPlus jackpot victor, assisting in sound financial management; and responsible gaming videos that have engaged millions across the nation.
PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco emphasized the importance of this collaborative effort, “Gaming is intended to entertain, but it must always include protections for players. We are honored to collaborate with DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation in this essential campaign that educates players and cultivates a culture of responsibility. Together, we aspire to enhance the industry by prioritizing player welfare.”
DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco mirrored this sentiment, accentuating the company’s commitment to responsible gaming: “Responsible gaming is not merely an initiative for us at DigiPlus but a core value. Beyond providing entertainment, we are wholeheartedly dedicated to offering gaming experiences that are not only enjoyable but also responsible. This partnership with PAGCOR represents a significant advancement in our mission to empower players, promote financial literacy, and encourage balanced gaming practices.”
The campaign will emphasize equipping players through preventive measures, education, and intervention. BingoPlus Foundation will broaden its public awareness efforts, introducing new digital and on-ground initiatives to instruct players on maintaining balance and control during gaming. Building on the success of the webinar series, live events and community workshops will further strengthen the advocacy.
By joining forces with PAGCOR, DigiPlus reaffirms its commitment to elevating the standards for responsible gaming practices in the Philippines. This campaign is not merely an initiative but a declaration of BingoPlus Foundation’s steadfast commitment to transforming gaming into a responsible and enriching pursuit.
