DigiPlus joins working group to shape new Philippines igaming legislation

The operator is collaborating with regulators and lawmakers on a new framework to strengthen consumer protection and industry standards.


The Philippines.- DigiPlus Interactive Corp. says it has joined a technical working group tasked with drafting new legislation for online gaming in the Philippines. The group, which also includes the Philippine Senate and Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR), is said to be focused on creating a regulatory framework designed to improve consumer protection, increase transparency and raise compliance standards across the market.

According to the company, upcoming legislation will introduce tighter controls on payment channels and stricter marketing rules, aiming to establish a more secure and sustainable operating environment for licensed operators.

DigiPlus chairman Eusebio Tanco said the company welcomes closer collaboration with authorities, stressing that stronger regulation will help ensure that only compliant operators remain active. President Andy Tsui confirmed the company’s direct involvement in the discussions and said he expects stricter oversight rather than a ban on online gaming.
