DigiPlus Interactive Corp. has strengthened its commitment to fair play by integrating its flagship sportsbook, ArenaPlus, into the Sportradar Integrity Exchange (SIE), a worldwide monitoring system designed to detect and prevent match-fixing.

According to local media reports citing a company statement, the move is aimed at reinforcing safeguards across DigiPlus’ rapidly growing digital gaming ecosystem. By leveraging real-time intelligence, the integration enables ArenaPlus to more effectively identify suspicious betting patterns and potential integrity risks.

The SIE operates as a collaborative data-sharing network, allowing licensed operators to both submit and receive alerts on irregular wagering activity. Through this system, ArenaPlus can exchange information on potentially fraudulent bets with Sportradar Group AG, whose AI-driven monitoring tools analyze global betting data to detect anomalies that may not be visible at a single-platform level.

ArenaPlus Head Erick Su said the partnership plays a key role in strengthening user protection and maintaining trust. He noted that sharing critical data with an established global provider helps create a safer betting environment while supporting broader efforts to uphold the integrity of sports competitions.

For Sportradar, the collaboration further expands its integrity services footprint in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia, particularly as concerns around sports manipulation continue to grow alongside the region’s digital betting market.

The integration comes amid continued expansion in the Philippine online gaming sector, where operators are increasingly prioritizing transparency, compliance, and responsible gaming. Since its launch in 2023, ArenaPlus has been involved in major sporting initiatives, including partnerships tied to global events such as the FIBA Basketball World Cup.

DigiPlus, which also operates brands such as BingoPlus and GameZone, views the integration as a strategic step in enhancing oversight and reinforcing credibility across its expanding portfolio of digital entertainment platforms.

As part of its ongoing “NBA Playoffs MVP: Battle for the Most Valuable Predictor” campaign, ArenaPlus has launched the ₱100 million MVP Bracket, introducing a bracket-style prediction game centered on the NBA Playoffs.

The initiative is designed to deepen fan engagement by turning basketball knowledge and instinct into an interactive experience. Leading the campaign rollout is former NBA star Derrick Rose, adding further excitement for Filipino fans following the postseason.

Running until April 18, the challenge is open to eligible ArenaPlus users aged 21 and above. Participants receive two free prediction entries, with no deposit, wagers, or entry fees required.

At the core of the promotion is the classic bracket format familiar to basketball fans. Players are tasked with predicting the winners across all 15 playoff matchups. The grand prize of ₱100 million will go to the participant with the highest number of correct predictions, with ties decided based on the earliest valid submission.

In addition, a ₱50 million shared prize pool will be distributed among top-performing participants who fall just below the grand prize tier—such as those with near-perfect predictions, depending on overall results.

All valid entries are also automatically entered into a raffle, offering additional rewards including ₱1 million each for 10 winners and ₱100,000 each for 100 winners, expanding the chances of winning beyond the main competition.

ArenaPlus Head Erick Su said the campaign reflects how Filipino fans engage with basketball on a deeper level. He noted that beyond simply watching games, fans actively analyze matchups, debate outcomes, and make predictions—making the bracket format a natural extension of that passion.

With the MVP Bracket challenge, ArenaPlus aims to transform that enthusiasm into a more immersive and rewarding playoff experience.

ArenaPlus has entered a multiyear partnership with the National Basketball Association, becoming the league’s first official betting partner in the Philippines. The move marks a major step for the DigiPlus Interactive Corp brand as it continues to expand its sports betting and fan engagement presence in the local market.

Under the agreement, ArenaPlus will integrate official NBA branding across its platforms, roll out localized marketing activations, and feature on the league’s digital and social channels in the Philippines. The collaboration is expected to strengthen the brand’s visibility while deepening its connection with Filipino basketball fans.

The announcement follows the recent launch of ArenaPlus’ bracket-style prediction game tied to the NBA playoffs, part of its ₱1 billion Prediction Giveaway campaign. Designed as a free-to-play initiative, the format allows fans to participate without deposits or wagers, focusing on engagement rather than direct betting.

Through the partnership, ArenaPlus plans to introduce more NBA-themed promotions and interactive features, including free-to-play games that mirror how fans follow the sport. The company said this approach aims to create a more immersive and rewarding experience for users.

At the same time, both ArenaPlus and the NBA will promote responsible gaming and integrity standards, ensuring that all activities align with regulated practices. The company noted that the deal reflects a broader strategy to balance growth with accountability in an increasingly competitive market.

With the NBA’s global reach and strong following in the Philippines, the partnership gives ArenaPlus a powerful platform to engage local audiences and reinforce its position in the country’s fast-growing sports entertainment space.
