DigiPlus announces Brazilian rollout for 2026 after short-term pause
The Philippine operator has paused its Brazilian soft launch in preparation for the new year.
Key Points
- DigiPlus is set to debut its Brazilian platform in Q1 2026
- The operator has utilized its three-week soft launch for information gathering
- The company has now paused its operations in the nation temporarily
DigiPlus has announced the temporary pausing of its operations in Brazil following the recent soft launch of its new local platform – with the official release now set for the new year.
After announcing the soft launch of its platform in Brazil last month, DigiPlus has now hit the brakes on the rollout, postponing its expansive move into the LatAm market until Q1 2026. As stated by the operator, the three-week-long soft launch period – which has now concluded – was utilized as an information gathering endeavour which will help further inform DigiPlus’ wider launch in the Brazilian market.
Commenting on this recent decision, DigiPlus Chairman, Eusebio H. Tanco, said, “We are taking the strategic step to pause GamePlus in Brazil so we can come back stronger with a digital entertainment offering that is not only locally relevant but also resonates deeply with the Brazilian culture and entertainment habits.”
Indeed, effective as of October 10, this temporary measure will see DigiPlus’ team in Brazil and the Philippines begin work on hyper-localization strategies for what many regard as the world’s most exciting up-and-coming market.
Good to know: Last month, DigiPlus also filed its application for a South African gambling license, highlighting the beginning of a global expansion campaign
This latest development also falls hot on the heels of additional company news last week which saw DigiPlus enter a new collaboration with Bayad to expand over-the-counter payment transaction options for its customers in the Philippines.
Elsewhere in the Brazilian landscape last week, the nation’s regulator, IBJR, presented three alternatives to increasing tax on gambling operators in the nation, after a proposed tax hike was dropped by Congress.
