DigiPlus Interactive Corp is pursuing a dual-track strategy: expanding into land-based gaming while advocating for stricter online regulation — signaling a maturing approach to growth in the Philippines’ gaming market.

The Strategy: Hybrid Gaming Model

DigiPlus is moving beyond its digital roots:

• exploring land-based opportunities
• leveraging its stake in International Entertainment Corp
• building an online + offline ecosystem

This positions the company for omnichannel player engagement.

Why Support Stricter Regulation?

Chairman Eusebio Tanco emphasized:

“As a licensed and leading online gaming operator, we continue to welcome collaboration and active participation in discussions with the Philippine government to achieve our shared goal of raising the standards of the industry.”

The message is clear:
Stronger regulation benefits serious operators.

Strategic Insight: Compliance as Competitive Edge

Backing tighter controls helps:

• eliminate illegal operators
• strengthen consumer trust
• stabilize long-term market growth

Regulation becomes a barrier to entry — and a competitive moat.

Unique Angle: Online Meets IR

DigiPlus’ land-based ambitions point to a broader trend:

convergence between digital gaming platforms and integrated resorts

Opportunities include:

• unified loyalty systems
• cross-channel marketing
• higher player lifetime value

Context: Philippines Market Evolution

The Philippines is entering a new phase:

• rapid online gaming growth
• rising regulatory scrutiny
• strong IR ecosystem including

• Solaire Resort & Casino
• Okada Manila

The market is shifting toward regulated scale players.

Final Take

DigiPlus is not just expanding — it is future-proofing its business model.

By combining:

• land-based expansion
• regulatory alignment
• digital leadership

the company is positioning itself for sustainable, long-term growth in a rapidly evolving market.
