This is the Way VIPs Play: Inside a Weekend of Luxury and Entertainment

ArenaPlus, the flagship sportsbook platform of DigiPlus Interactive Corp., brought its most loyal players together for its first-ever back-to-back VIP Nights across Entertainment City—two evenings that blended premium hospitality, entertainment, and a distinctly player-first ethos.

The celebrations opened on December 12 with the Champions VIP Circle Night at Okada Manila’s Chairman’s Lounge, where top-tier players were welcomed to an intimate evening of curated dining, free-flowing drinks, and direct engagement with the ArenaPlus leadership team. The following night, December 13, the Champions Prime Circle Night unfolded at Solaire’s Baccarat Room, gathering high-engagement users whose insights continue to shape the platform’s evolving rewards and features.

“We are the biggest sportsbook in the Philippines and we try to dedicate ourselves to bringing you the best experience,” said ArenaPlus Head Erick Su. “I’m really proud that you’ve joined us and we will dedicate ourselves to provide you more this (coming) year.”

Su also teased what’s ahead for loyal players: “We will have a fresh new loyalty system in the next year, and we will give you more privilege—to have access to exclusive events … all the sports tickets.”

VIP Dining and Entertainment for a Choice Crowd

Both nights delivered on spectacle. Asia’s Diamond Soul Siren Nina energized the Okada crowd, while ever-reliable popstar Joey G performed at Solaire. A sumptuous spread, lively game-floor atmosphere, and major raffle prizes—including trips to the United States and Japan—rounded out the experience.

“All this really shows that ArenaPlus really cares about their players,” said one VIP Circle raffle winner from Manila, who will also get the chance to meet ArenaPlus ambassador and former NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose.

“I also have to think carefully about what shoe I’ll have D-Rose sign on,” the two-year ArenaPlus player added.

Alongside the festivities, ArenaPlus announced strengthened responsible gaming measures, including customizable deposit limits, play-time reminders, self-exclusion features, and access to 24/7 customer support—reinforcing the brand’s commitment to safe and sustainable play.

“Tonight is our way of saying thank you. You set the standard for ArenaPlus—your expectations keep us sharp, and your loyalty drives us to deliver faster, better, and with greater intention,” said ArenaPlus Marketing Manager Hannah Bagui.

As the brand looks ahead to 2026, ArenaPlus is set to roll out more initiatives designed to deliver a gaming experience that is elevated, engaging, and responsible.
