BingoPlus is an online gambling platform operated by AB Leisure Exponent Inc. (ABLE), a subsidiary of DigiPlus.
History
Taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Leisure and Resorts World Corporation (LRWC; known as DigiPlus since February 2023[1][2]) through its subsidiary AB Leisure Exponent Inc. (ABLE) launched Bingo Plus in January 2022, allowing potential players to play livestreamed bingo.[3] The company was granted an Online Traditional Bingo (OTB) license from state-run gambling regulator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) within the same year.[3][4][5][6]
It replaced Bingo Bonanza, which was an electronic bingo hall chain often housed inside shopping malls.[7][3][6]
In 2024, BingoPlus' registered users rose to 40 million, doubling the figures from the previous year, benefiting from the Philippine government's crackdown on overseas-catering casinos or Philippine offshore gaming operators.[8][9]
On September 29, 2024, BingoPlus introduced a perya game called Pinoy Drop Ball with DigiPlus billing the game as the first live drop ball game of its type launched in the Philippines.[10]
Games
The BingoPlus platform provides online bingo, as well as other games such as baccarat, tong-its, and perya (fair) games.[11][12]

Marketing
Brand ambassadors
BingoPlus has used celebrities as brand ambassadors, the first of which was Luis Manzano.[15] This was followed by Maine Mendoza, Piolo Pascual, and Kim Chiu.[16]
Sponsorships
BingoPlus is a sponsor of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), entering their first deal in August 2022.[17][18][19]
In October 2022, BingoPlus entered into a sponsorship deal with the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). The gambling platform became the PVL's official gaming partner.[20][21]
In 2025, the International Series Golf tournament, hosted by BingoPlus, is scheduled to be held in the Philippines for the first time.[22][23]
Legal actions
In June 2024, a player and three employees at the BingoPlus SM City Cauayan branch were alleged to have conspired to manipulate the results of the Bingo Milyonaryo game, illegally winning a jackpot of approximately ₱3.96 million. A fraud case was filed, and the individuals involved were arrested.[24]
