How BingoPlus got here

BingoPlus launched in January 2022 as the Philippines' first interactive, live-streaming digital bingo platform — but its story starts two decades earlier in community bingo halls. This timeline follows the brand from Bingo Bonanza to Bingo Speed, with sources for every milestone.

Two studios, one live feed

Live bingo is produced in BingoPlus North Studio (94 Timog Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City) and BingoPlus South Studio (14 West Service Road, Parañaque City). Bingo Mega is the flagship show; Bingo Speed is the fast format added in 2026.

From halls to phones — and back

The branch network that started with Bingo Bonanza did not disappear when BingoPlus went digital. More than 130 BingoPlus branches now double as cash-in and cash-out points and live-bingo venues, which is why a digital-first brand still has a physical address in most provinces. See branches.

What "first" means

DigiPlus describes BingoPlus as the Philippines' first interactive, live-streaming digital bingo platform — the first to put a live-hosted bingo draw inside an app with real-time card play. Other bingo operators existed before it; the live-streamed digital format is the claim, and it is the company's own.
