In a big, bold move aimed at reshaping the local online gaming landscape, DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the powerhouse behind BingoPlus and ArenaPlus, and GameZone,have joined forces with Philippine First Insurance Co. Inc. (PhilFirst), the nation’s pioneering domestic insurer.
The two industry leaders have rolled out the country’s first-ever surety bond initiative specifically designed for online gaming participants, marking a significant leap forward in player security.
The historic program, which is now officially in effect, aims to raise the standard for user protection in digital entertainment.
As part of the newly-launched player protection program, qualified online gaming users will now enjoy an added layer of financial security.
The ground-breaking surety bond covers player balances of up to ₱1 million each—offering peace of mind without the need for users to buy a separate insurance policy.
This marks a major win for player welfare in the fast-growing digital sports and gaming scene.
With the new surety bond in place, players can now game with greater confidence—provided their eKYC (electronic Know-Your-Customer) details are current and they follow platform rules. Whether you’re a casual player or a regular racking up big wins, users of BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone can enjoy the action knowing their funds and balances have an extra layer of protection.
“DigiPlus is proud to be the first in the industry to roll out this level of consumer protection,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco.
“We are committed to putting our players first. With this surety bond, they can play confidently on BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, knowing that their funds are safeguarded.” he added
DigiPlus continues to elevate the online gaming experience by reinforcing its commitment to player safety and service.
The introduction of the surety bond program adds to its already robust support system—which includes round-the-clock customer service and over 130 BingoPlus branches nationwide that serve as trusted touchpoints for users.
With this latest move, DigiPlus isn’t just delivering exciting and cutting-edge gaming options—it’s also setting a new benchmark for trust, protection, and reliability in the digital entertainment arena.
