DigiPlus Interactive Corp has appointed Teneo as its strategic advisor. The Philippine online gambling operator is pursuing opportunities beyond its home market.
Teneo is a United States-based firm that provides consultancy to chief executives and senior management at Fortune 100 and FTSE 100 companies. The appointment was detailed in a company statement.
International Licensing Footprint
DigiPlus holds licences in South Africa and for Brazil. It received online gaming licences from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board in April. The company obtained a Brazil online licence in January 2025, paused operations there in October 2025, and relaunched its BingoPlus platform in July.
Earlier this month, the board approved filing an expression of interest for an online gaming licence in New Zealand. In the Philippines, DigiPlus runs BingoPlus, an online bingo platform, ArenaPlus, a sportsbook, and GameZone, a platform for casual and arcade gaming.
In early June, DigiPlus completed a second subscription to convertible notes in Hong Kong-listed International Entertainment to a value of HKD800 million (US$102.0 million). International Entertainment controls the LaVie Resort & Casino Manila, which has a provisional casino gaming licence from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.

The collaboration supports its evolution from a Philippine market leader into an increasingly global digital entertainment company.
This advisory relationship supplies external expertise to address the regulatory and operational demands of entry into multiple jurisdictions. Execution in licence applications and platform rollouts will determine whether the strategy delivers channelised growth.
