Digital entertainment company DigiPlus Interactive Corp. has marked another first in the Philippine gaming industry with the integration of its flagship sportsbook brand, ArenaPlus, into the Sportradar Integrity Exchange (SIE), a global intelligence-sharing network that helps sports betting operators combat match-fixing by reporting suspicious betting activity in real-time.
DigiPlus said the partnership with SIE complements its current integrity processes and operational oversight, reinforcing its already robust layers of protection already in place for customers.
The pioneering collaboration helps establish a real-time exchange of information and alerts regarding suspicious betting activities.
It also bolsters the existing tools used by ArenaPlus to tackle potential match-fixing and irregular betting patterns.
‘Joining the SIE network is a strategic move to further enhance the ArenaPlus platform. By exchanging critical data with an established firm, we are ensuring a safer environment for our users and playing an integral role in protecting the integrity of the sports we support,’ ArenaPlus head Erick Su said.
The SIE enhances early detection and builds a collective defense network to help combat manipulation in sports by combining operator insights with analysis by Sportradar’s team of integrity experts.
‘Partnering with ArenaPlus, which shares our commitment to transparency and integrity, is an important step in strengthening the region’s betting ecosystem. Together, we aim to foster a safer and more secure environment for sport and its stakeholders,’ Sportradar executive vice president of integrity services Andreas Krannich said.
DigiPlus said the alliance underscores the company’s drive to lead the market through rigorous governance.
By optimizing Sportradar’s global intelligence, the company said it continues to define the national benchmark for a professional and responsible digital entertainment industry.
It said the integration of ArenaPlus into the SIE serves as a clear signal of DigiPlus’s unwavering commitment to fair play and transparency.
‘Through this strategic collaboration, DigiPlus not only protects its growing community of users but also reinforces its position as a trusted, forward-thinking leader in the Philippine gaming industry,’ the company said.
DigiPlus is the country’s premier digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone.
