Around these parts, online gaming isn’t just for nameless, faceless, night-owl gamers, it’s a primetime attraction with marquee names lighting the sign.
Piolo Pascual, Kim Chiu, and Maine Mendoza have all joined the BingoPlus roster.

Big names draw big crowds—and big scrutiny. A celebrity endorsement can lend instant credibility, but it can also backfire if the platform isn’t squeaky-clean. For stars, their personal brand is on the line. For players, so is their cash.
That’s why a PAGCOR license matters. It keeps games legal and play above board, assuring celebrities that the brands they champion are every bit as legitimate as the careers they’ve built. And it gives players the confidence that when they log in, the excitement isn’t coming at their expense.
Now DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the company behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, has taken that commitment a bold step further.
Partnering with Philippine First Insurance Co. (PhilFirst), they’ve launched the country’s first-ever surety bond program for online gaming players, a new benchmark for consumer protection.
Here’s the short version: if you’re an eKYC-verified player in good standing with at least one deposit, your in-platform wallet is automatically insured for up to ₱1 million. No forms to fill, no add-on to buy. Just instant, invisible protection.
“DigiPlus is proud to be the first in the industry to roll out this level of consumer protection,” says Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco. “With this surety bond, players can play confidently on BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, knowing that their funds are safeguarded.”
The move is a win-win: fans get more peace of mind, and the celebrities fronting these platforms know their names are tied to a company serious about trust and transparency.
Because in gaming, as in show business, the real jackpot is a reputation that stays gold.
