Insider Spotlight
DigiPlus gained further validation this week after retaining its Digital Operator of the Year title at the 2026 Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific, marking its second consecutive win in the category. The recognition was announced during the awards ceremony held June 2 at Conrad Manila.
Why it matters
The recognition comes as DigiPlus continues to broaden its reach through flagship brands BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone while intensifying efforts to enhance player engagement and platform innovation.
According to the awards body, DigiPlus’ performance was supported by strong results in 2025, including the addition of more than 500 new e-games and the rollout of industry-first responsible gaming tools.
The company has also carried its momentum into 2026 through high-profile collaborations with boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and the National Basketball Association (NBA).
By the numbers
DigiPlus emerged on top of a shortlist of eight nominees competing for the Digital Operator of the Year distinction across the Asia-Pacific region. The Global Gaming Awards are powered by Global Gaming Insider and judged by senior gaming industry executives, with voting independently adjudicated by KPMG.
The company also earned recognition beyond its commercial operations. DigiPlus Foundation was named first runner-up in the Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year category, with judges highlighting programs focused on healthcare, education, disaster relief, and social empowerment. Those initiatives have benefited more than one million Filipinos.
“We are honored to once again be recognized by the Global Gaming Awards. These prestigious international industry accolades reflect DigiPlus’ unwavering pursuit of excellence and our drive to continuously innovate, deepen player engagement, and champion responsible gaming across BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone,” DigiPlus chair Eusebio H. Tanco said in a press statement.
“Together with the recognition for DigiPlus Foundation, this back-to-back win affirms our commitment to delivering world-class digital entertainment to Filipinos while contributing to nation-building,” he added.
The bottom line
DigiPlus is pairing rapid platform expansion with responsible gaming and community investment, reinforcing its position as a leading digital entertainment player in the Asia-Pacific market. —Vanessa Hidalgo| Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
