DigiPlus Backs Stricter Online Gambling Regulation
DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the Philippines’ leading digital entertainment company, has announced its strong support for smart, balanced online gambling regulation that protects players, ensures industry accountability and sustains the economic value generated by the legal online gaming sector.
“We believe regulation is the path to player protection. It’s the only way to safeguard players, preserve jobs, and close the door on illegal, underground platforms that operate without any oversight,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco.
As the operator behind leading online gaming platforms such as BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone, DigiPlus has consistently aligned with the principles being raised by lawmakers and advocacy groups. In fact, many of the proposed safeguards are already embedded across its platforms. All users undergo strict Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification, including government ID checks and age gating. Responsible gaming features, such as deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and cooling-off periods, have been readily accessible since November 2024.
Beyond existing tools, DigiPlus is rolling out a new wave of initiatives. These include enhanced affordability checks, behavioural nudges to curb excessive gaming, and referral pathways to licensed mental health experts. In July 2025, the company will also launch in-app community spaces to engage players in responsible gaming conversations and peer support. Across all its platforms, responsible gaming content is now featured more prominently than ever, not as fine print, but as part of the core user experience.
The company also complies with existing advertising restrictions and is actively revising its promotional strategies in light of new government guidance. Its internal marketing mandate prohibits targeting minors, avoids depictions of wealth or urgency and excludes messaging that could be construed as predatory. DigiPlus has also partnered with NGOs and civil society organisations to promote financial literacy and digital responsibility among players, efforts that go beyond what is required under current law.
DigiPlus emphasizes that these measures are not reactions to regulatory pressure, but part of a multi-year strategy to build a responsible gaming ecosystem. The company invests in data science, player support systems and compliance technologies precisely because it believes the future of gaming depends on trust and transparency. That is why it fully supports updated legislation, particularly around stronger penalties for illegal operators, and clearer advertising standards.
Crucially, DigiPlus urges policymakers to weigh the consequences of a total ban. The experience of other countries has shown that banning licensed platforms does not eliminate demand for online gaming, but merely shifts users to unregulated black markets where there are no protections, no taxes and no accountability. In contrast, a well-regulated environment can protect players, generate billions in government revenue and sustain over 40,000 jobs across tech, marketing, entertainment, customer service and compliance.
“With the right rules in place, the Philippines can be a model for safe, transparent online gaming in Asia. We are ready to work hand-in-hand with regulators, legislators, and community groups to make that vision real,” Tanco said.

1spin4win unveils a brand-new adventure slot, Great Hook Hold and Win
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The previous chapter told the story of the Catleone clan scheming to rule the casino business in 1930s America. Players were invited to join the dark side and help the three cat gangsters vanquish their rivals and proclaim their dominance. In Great Hook Hold and Win, the criminal saga continues. Having built a name in the gambling world, the infamous mobsters lure wealthy high-rollers into their casinos and swindle them out of money with bogus cheques. The sequel introduces a new character — Detective Hook. A seasoned sleuth, he takes on a daring mission to track down the Catleone clan and bring them to justice.
The new release is a classic 5×3 slot. Players can step into the role of the Detective’s assistant, piecing together clues and unraveling the elaborate con scheme. The climax of this criminal adventure is the Bonus round powered by the popular Hold and Win mechanics. Triggered by three or more Coins across 243 ways, it leads to the crucial evidence in the case. With three free respins for a good start, players spin to uncover the mystery and claim the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1,000 Megapot as a reward for their help.
Great Hook Hold and Win preserves the features of 1spin4win’s signature style, including well-balanced gameplay, minimalistic visual design, and transparent mechanics. This makes the new slot suitable for every type of player.
Olga Bogdanova, Art Director at 1spin4win, “We were excited to debut Great Hook Hold and Win at SBC Summit 2025 in Lisbon. It took center stage at our stand, supported by a custom mascot and themed merchandise. This was a great way to stand out from the competition and helped us spark interest in the release.”
