DigiPlus Interactive Expands ArenaSocial with Launch of Skill-Based Arcade Suite
TL;DR — DigiPlus Interactive launched ArenaSocial Arcade, adding more than 100 free-to-play skill-based games to its non-wagering social platform. The move aligns with responsible innovation priorities and coincides with licensing steps in South Africa, Brazil and New Zealand. It broadens the firm’s digital ecosystem beyond traditional gaming.
SCCG Take — This non-wagering expansion enables audience growth with lower regulatory friction. It positions the operator to convert social users into customers for its licensed products across multiple markets.
DigiPlus Interactive Corp has launched ArenaSocial Arcade. The new suite adds more than 100 free-to-play games to the company’s ArenaSocial platform, which debuted earlier this year in a non-wagering environment.
The added content includes skill-based challenges, reflex games, strategy titles and high-score competitions. ArenaSocial centers on sports and eSports knowledge testing along with casual gameplay, community features and rewards.
Ping Chen, DigiPlus’ president, said: “Our expansion into new entertainment formats reflects DigiPlus’ commitment to reaching broader audiences and creating more ways for people to engage with our digital ecosystem.”
DigiPlus said that as its business continues to evolve, the company remains focused on pursuing innovation responsibly, with user experience, safety, accessibility, and sustainable growth at the centre of its product development.
Company Expansion Moves
The operator holds online gaming licences in South Africa and Brazil as well as in the Philippines. It appointed Teneo as strategic advisor last week and filed an expression of interest for an online gaming licence in New Zealand earlier this month. DigiPlus runs BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone domestically. It completed a subscription to HKD800 million (US$102.1 million) convertible notes in International Entertainment Corp, which controls a property with a provisional licence from Pagcor.
This launch was detailed in reporting by GGRAsia.
Implications for Non-Wagering Growth
The addition of these accessible titles lets DigiPlus broaden engagement outside regulated wagering while stressing safety and sustainable development. Operators will track whether this social layer accelerates user acquisition that later feeds licensed sports betting and igaming products across the jurisdictions where the company now holds or seeks licences.

Social gaming as a regulated acquisition funnel — low friction, broad reach, then convert across licensed markets.
We've watched operators burn cash on user acquisition in saturated markets. DigiPlus is building a non-wagering funnel in South Africa, Brazil, New Zealand and the Philippines — grow the audience where regulation is lighter, convert them where you hold licenses. It's patient capital with a clear conversion thesis.
- 100+ free skill-based games added to ArenaSocial, no wagering required
- Operator holds licenses in South Africa, Brazil, Philippines; applied in New Zealand
- Social layer designed to feed licensed sports betting and iGaming products
SCCG angle: SCCG works both ends of this funnel. We connect social game studios to operators building non-wagering platforms, and we've placed partners into South Africa, Brazil and across Asia-Pacific. If you're licensing in emerging markets and need a social acquisition layer — or you're a content shop looking for distribution — we broker those partnerships every quarter.
