The company attributed the growth to the performance of its digital retail segment, the launch of new live-streamed games, and the continued expansion of its game portfolio across BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, SpinPlus, and GameZone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revenue was up 176 per cent<\/strong> in year-on-year terms to PHP75.2bn (US$1.31bn).\u00a0EBITDA was up 192 per cent to PHP 13.9bn (US$243m).

It paid PHP33.7bn (US$589m) in taxes and regulatory fees in 2024. The company also invested PHP100m (US$1.75m)\u00a0through the BingoPlus Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the fourth quarter of the year, DigiPlus posted net income of PHP3.8bn (US$66m).

The launch of Pinoy Drop Ball \u2013 a homegrown creation designed to capture the excitement of traditional perya games \u2013 marked another industry first. Launched in September 2024, Pinoy Drop Ball is the first-ever livestreamed drop ball game in the Philippines, blending tradition with digital innovation. DigiPlus invested heavily in research and development to ensure the game truly embodies the authenticity and joy of local town fiestas, while modernizing the experience for mobile gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The launch of Pinoy Drop Ball, alongside Pa Pula, Pa Puti and Color Game Plus, and other proprietary livestreamed, interactive game formats fueled significant revenue growth. Meanwhile, Super Ace Jackpot, introduced in mid-2024, became a key driver of engagement, solidifying DigiPlus\u2019 leadership in digital gaming.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DigiPlus chairman <strong>Eusebio Tanco<\/strong> said: &#8220;2024 was a defining year for DigiPlus.
