DigiPlus Interactive Corp. is celebrating a major milestone as its flagship digital entertainment platform, BingoPlus, marks its fourth anniversary following its launch in January 2022 as the Philippines’ first interactive livestreaming digital gaming platform.
Over the past four years, BingoPlus has evolved from a single online bingo platform into a fully integrated entertainment ecosystem that now spans both digital and physical channels, serving tens of millions of users nationwide.
Long before the rise of mobile gaming and livestreaming platforms, DigiPlus — formerly known as Leisure and Resorts World Corp. — built its presence through neighborhood bingo halls popularly known to many Filipinos as “Bingo Bonanza.” These venues became familiar community spaces where people gathered not only to play, but also to socialize and connect with one another.
When the pandemic accelerated the shift toward digital entertainment, DigiPlus faced a pivotal moment that ultimately led to the creation of BingoPlus. The platform quickly became the company’s answer to changing consumer behavior, helping transform traditional bingo into a modern interactive entertainment experience tailored for Filipino audiences.
As the company’s flagship platform, BingoPlus reflects DigiPlus’ broader strategy of combining technology, localized content, and user-focused digital experiences. By adapting familiar Filipino gameplay into modern interactive formats, the platform successfully retained traditional users while attracting a new generation of mobile-first players.
By 2023, BingoPlus had already expanded into a full-scale digital entertainment platform offering more than 1,000 e-games across categories such as bingo, card games, arcade titles, and slots. The company also strengthened its in-house capabilities through investments in livestreaming studios and proprietary game development systems that enabled the creation of original localized content for Filipino players.
At the center of the platform remains Bingo Mega, its flagship livestreamed bingo experience, alongside a growing lineup of “Perya” games inspired by traditional Filipino carnival favorites such as Color Game and other locally themed titles.
In 2024, Pinoy Drop Ball emerged as one of the platform’s breakout successes after becoming the Philippines’ first livestreamed drop ball game. The title quickly grew into one of BingoPlus’ most-played games and further demonstrated DigiPlus’ ongoing investment in research, development, and culturally relevant entertainment experiences.
By 2025, BingoPlus had grown into a comprehensive digital entertainment ecosystem supported by more than 130 physical locations nationwide. These sites continue operating traditional bingo services while also functioning as payment and customer support touchpoints for online users.
Beyond gaming, the platform has also expanded into additional entertainment verticals, including casual games and short-form video content, while continuing to maintain strong engagement across its homegrown livestreaming products.
As the platform expanded, DigiPlus also increased its investment in responsible gaming and player protection initiatives. BingoPlus enhanced features such as Time Control Settings and Spend & Loss Limits, allowing users to better manage their gaming activity and encouraging more mindful participation.
Together with DigiPlus Foundation, the platform also launched the “Pusta de Peligro” educational campaign, which promotes safer gaming habits among Filipino audiences through storytelling, expert discussions, and community-driven initiatives.
Most recently, BingoPlus introduced an industry-first surety bond program that provides up to ₱1 million in coverage per verified player wallet, further strengthening player protection and platform security. The company also expanded secure payment touchpoints through partnerships with BSP-accredited providers.
Today, BingoPlus stands as one of the country’s leading digital entertainment platforms and a widely recognized household brand in the Philippines.
Its transformation from neighborhood bingo halls to a large-scale digital entertainment ecosystem also reflects DigiPlus’ broader vision of “Entertainment for Good,” combining innovation, localized content, and responsible entertainment practices.
The company’s annual BingoPlus Night celebration has likewise become a major symbol of this evolution. Now entering its fourth year, the event serves as the flagship celebration of the brand’s growth and its continued expansion within the Philippine entertainment industry.
This year’s BingoPlus Night, scheduled for May 19, carries the theme “Step into the Next PLUS” and promises an even larger celebration featuring some of the country’s biggest celebrities and performers.
Eusebio H. Tanco said the growth of BingoPlus has always been guided by the company’s commitment to Filipino customers and culture.
“The BingoPlus transformation story was a leap of faith, but it was always driven by our strong commitment to our customers,” Tanco shared. “Over the past four years, BingoPlus has grown into a platform deeply rooted in Filipino culture, with a mission to bring traditional Pinoy entertainment into the modern age.”
The May 19 festivities will be streamed live through the official BingoPlus website, the BingoPlus mobile app, and the platform’s official Facebook, X, and YouTube pages. Special television broadcasts are also scheduled to air on GTV on May 22 and GMA on May 23.
From its origins as a neighborhood bingo operator to its emergence as a digital entertainment powerhouse, BingoPlus continues to reflect DigiPlus’ long-term commitment to championing Filipino culture while reshaping the future of entertainment in the country.
