DigiPlus Partners With Bayad For Secure Gaming Cash-ins
A New Era of Convenience for Players
For players of BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, the days of scrambling for digital wallet top-ups or relying solely on online banking are over. Thanks to a new partnership between DigiPlus Interactive Corp. and Bayad, gamers can now make over-the-counter (OTC) cash-ins at more than 800 Bayad Centers and partner outlets nationwide.

That means malls, supermarkets, and even your neighborhood convenience store just became part of your gaming ecosystem. For a country where cash still dominates daily transactions, this is a practical and inclusive move.
I’ve always believed that technology should adapt to the realities of its users, not the other way around. This partnership is a textbook example of that principle in action.

Why Bayad Matters in This Equation
Bayad isn’t just another payment channel. It’s a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)-accredited Electronic Money Issuer (EMI). That accreditation matters because it ensures every transaction is secure, regulated, and compliant with PAGCOR requirements.

In plain terms: your money is safe.
For players, this means peace of mind. You’re not just handing over cash to a random kiosk—you’re transacting through a system that’s been vetted by regulators. And in an industry where trust is everything, that’s a big win.
The Tech Behind the Partnership
On the surface, this looks like a simple cash-in service. But under the hood, it’s a carefully designed integration of gaming wallets, financial compliance systems, and retail networks.
Here’s what makes it interesting:
- Real-time wallet updates: Cash-ins reflect quickly, minimizing downtime between deposit and play.
- Scalable infrastructure: With over 800 outlets already onboard, the system is built to expand further.
- Future-ready roadmap: DigiPlus and Bayad have confirmed that cash-outs and Bayad App integration are coming soon. That means players won’t just deposit—they’ll eventually withdraw winnings through the same trusted network.
This is where the partnership shows its long-term vision. It’s not just about making deposits easier. It’s about building a two-way financial bridge between players and platforms.

Leadership and Strategy
The partnership was formally signed on October 8, 2025, with top executives from both companies present:
- Eusebio H. Tanco, Chairman of DigiPlus
- Jasper Vicencio, President of AB Leisure Exponent Inc. (DigiPlus subsidiary)
- Ray C. Espinosa, Chairman of Bayad
- Lawrence Y. Ferrer, President and CEO of Bayad
& CEO, Bayad ; Eusebio H. Tanco – Chairman, DigiPlus Interactive, Corp.
When you see leadership at this level personally involved, it signals more than just a business deal. It’s a strategic alignment. DigiPlus gains a trusted financial partner. Bayad expands its reach into digital entertainment. And players get the best of both worlds.
This partnership delivers on all three fronts.
For readers, the benefit is straightforward:
- Accessibility: More places to cash in, especially for those without online banking.
- Security: BSP accreditation ensures compliance and protection.
- Future flexibility: With cash-outs and app integration on the horizon, managing funds will only get easier.
And let’s be honest—if you can top up your gaming wallet while buying groceries or paying bills, that’s not just convenience. That’s efficiency.
Looking Ahead
The rollout of cash-outs and Bayad App access will be the real test of this partnership’s impact. If executed well, it could set a new standard for how gaming platforms integrate with financial services in the Philippines.
For now, though, DigiPlus players can celebrate a win. The ability to walk into a Bayad Center, hand over cash, and instantly fund your account is a small change with big implications. It bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds in a way that feels natural, secure, and—most importantly—player-first.
The Bayad payment channels partnership adds to DigiPlus’ growing customer service network and player support, which already includes its in-house 24/7 customer support, 130+ physical BingoPlus stores nationwide, and a surety bond for player wallets. These expanding service touchpoints reflect DigiPlus’ continued commitment to delivering digital entertainment with safe, reliable, and accessible service for Filipinos.
