Comtrade Gaming has officially unveiled a new collaboration which will now see the provider power DigiPlus Interactive's Philippine sports entertainment brand, ArenaPlus, via the integration of its platform technology.
Indeed, this deal will see ArenaPlus utilize Comtrade's platform support in its expansive efforts to help handle evolving technology, growth and compliance requirements - amongst other things - in the fast-changing Philippine market. As specified by Comtrade, the integration of the supplier's platform technologies into DigiPlus' localized offerings is already underway, as the pair each look to reinforce their position within the versatile Southeast Asian marketplace.
For Comtrade, this latest deal closely follows an additional collaborative agreement reached earlier this year between the supplier and Reevo. More recently, however, in September company CCO Steven Valentine spoke exclusively to Global Gaming Insider at SBC Lisbon to discuss the provider's global progress in 2025.
Speaking on this latest development, Valentine commented: "Partnering with DigiPlus Interactive to facilitate the growth of ArenaPlus is a significant strategic achievement for Comtrade Gaming. DigiPlus is widely recognized as the leading force in the Philippines. Their rigorous platform evaluation validated the capabilities of our iGaming platform - particularly its scalability, stability, compliance, readiness, and strong emphasis on player retention and experience. We look forward to supporting ArenaPlus as they continue to shape the digital entertainment landscape in the region."
On the other side of the deal, this announcement falls in the wake of DigiPlus' Q3 2025 financial report, which was released last week and highlighted a revenue jump of 16% year-over-year to PHP 10.11bn ($171m). Also recently, the company announced an additional partnership with Bayad for nationwide cash deposit expansion across the Philippines.
Commenting on this new deal, Erick Su, Head of ArenaPlus, said: "ArenaPlus continues to scale rapidly, both in reach and in user engagement. To support this growth, we require a platform partner that can deliver reliability, adaptability, and long-term technological support. Comtrade Gaming's focus on tailored development and player-centric solutions align well with our strategic direction. This partnership strengthens ArenaPlus' foundation and supports our commitment to delivering a seamless and elevated digital entertainment experience."
Elsewhere today, the Philippine regulator PAGCOR unveiled that the nation's market achieved a GGR figure of PHP 94.51bn during the third quarter of 2025, up 17.4%
