DigiPlus reports P10.11B nine-month net income

DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus), the pioneer and leading digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, reported a consolidated net income of P10.11 billion in the first nine months of 2025, a 16 percent increase from the same period in 2024.

The Company’s performance reflected continued growth in its retail games segment as well as contributions from new product offerings and operational efficiencies.

Total revenues rose 30 percent to P66.83 billion from P51.56 billion in the same period last year, supported by increased business activity and the rollout of new games and licenses approved by PAGCOR. EBITDA for the first nine months reached P11.13 billion, up 19 percent from P9.34 billion a year ago.

In the first nine months of 2025, DigiPlus paid P25.59 billion in government taxes and regulatory fees, reflecting a 9 percent increase from P23.40 billion in the same period of 2024. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, DigiPlus paid P7.17 billion in government taxes and regulatory fees, down 26 percent due to the impact of the e-wallet delinking directive.

In the third quarter of the year, DigiPlus net income declined 59 percent to P1.71 billion, while EBITDA decreased 55 percent to P2.0 billion. Revenues, meanwhile, contracted 23 percent to P19.05 billion on impact of tighter regulation, which required e-wallet providers to delink in-app access to licensed online gaming platforms. This temporarily disrupted player activity and transaction volumes across the industry during the period.

In response, DigiPlus took proactive measures to enhance player protection and customer service platforms. In partnership with Philippine First Insurance Co. Inc., the Company introduced the country’s first surety bond program for online gaming players, providing financial protection of up to P1 million per verified player wallet.

DigiPlus also partnered with CIS Bayad Center Inc. to expand over-the-counter payment options nationwide, offering BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone users more secure and convenient ways to transact and manage their accounts.

Both initiatives complement DigiPlus’ existing 24/7 customer service operations and more than 130 BingoPlus retail outlets, underscoring its commitment to deliver safe, dependable, and responsible digital entertainment.

Despite the temporary moderation in third-quarter earnings, the Company maintained overall growth momentum for the first nine months of 2025, supported by ongoing product innovation, enhanced user experience, and strengthened corporate governance practices.

The period marked several milestones and major developments for DigiPlus as it continued to advance its leadership as a publicly listed digital entertainment company.

“This period demonstrates DigiPlus' resilience amid temporary setbacks. Throughout this period, we continue to focus on digital innovation, player protection, and good governance,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco. “As we grow our business and expand responsibly into new markets, we remain focused on upholding global corporate governance and responsible gaming standards, while creating positive impact on the Filipino nation."

Achieving blue-chip status with PSE Index inclusion

The inclusion was based on the Company’s market capitalization, liquidity, and compliance with the PSE’s index eligibility criteria.
