DigiPlus shares surge as firm sets first international launch in Brazil next week

Online gambling giant DigiPlus Interactive Corp. shares surged after the operator of BingoPlus and ArenaPlus announced its Brazil launch set for Sept. 22, marking its first overseas push.

The expansion places DigiPlus in Latin America’s fastest-growing iGaming market, which generated $3.2 billion in gross gaming revenue in the first half of 2025.

DigiPlus shares soared over 14 percent to P21.20 apiece after the announcement. 

Management’s view

“We are incredibly excited to launch our first brand in Brazil this September,” said DigiPlus chairman Eusebio H. Tanco. 

“Our entry into this dynamic market is the culmination of a global-first mindset, strong collaboration between our teams, and an unwavering commitment to responsible gaming operations. We are not just bringing a platform to Brazil; we are bringing a new standard of safe digital entertainment,” he added. 

Over 150 games 

The company will debut with GamePlus, offering over 150 games in both free-to-play and real-money formats, followed by a Brazil-specific version of BingoPlus in 2026. 

Management said the venture is designed to be culturally resonant, featuring content inspired by local folklore while building a strong base of local talent.
