Global push: DigiPlus eyes South Africa entry as Philippine online gambling review continues

DigiPlus Interactive Corp., operator of BingoPlus and ArenaPlus, has filed license applications in South Africa, signaling its second international push just days after debuting in Brazil.

The company is applying for three licenses with the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, a jurisdiction known for transparent processes and digital readiness.

“The filing of our online gaming license in South Africa marks another milestone in DigiPlus’ global growth journey, as we bring our proven track record of innovation, responsible gaming, and player protection, together with our strength in localizing games for diverse markets, to one of Africa’s most dynamic economies,” DigiPlus chair Eusebio Tanco said in a statement. 

The move highlights DigiPlus’ strategy to diversify its revenue base as Philippine regulators continue their review of the fast-growing e-gaming industry. 

By securing footholds in Brazil and now South Africa, the group is reducing reliance on a single market while extending its reach into emerging economies.
