PH’s Biggest Jackpot Ever: BingoPlus Player Wins ₱960M

BingoPlus makes history with a ₱960M jackpot win—Philippines’ biggest e-bingo prize ever! Discover how this record-breaking moment is changing the game.

A lucky Filipino bettor just made history by hitting the largest known jackpot in Philippine gaming history. On June 22, 2025, BingoPlus awarded a massive prize of ₱960 million (approx. US$16.33 million), breaking national records and drawing renewed attention to the rapid growth of electronic bingo (e-bingo) in the country.

While BingoPlus has not disclosed the winner's identity, it confirmed that the winning ticket was played online, reinforcing the growing popularity of digital bingo platforms amid the ongoing expansion of the local iGaming industry.

Bingo and iGaming Boom

BingoPlus, operated by AB Leisure Exponent Inc., a subsidiary of Leisure & Resorts World Corporation (LRWC), has emerged as a major force in the Philippine e-bingo market. With its blend of online accessibility, real-time draws, and user engagement, the platform has gained millions of users since launching in 2022.

This historic win further cements the role of e-bingo in the Philippines’ legal gaming ecosystem—one that PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) closely regulates. The agency has reported consistent revenue growth from e-bingo licenses, thanks in part to the sector’s appeal to older and middle-class demographics who find traditional casino games intimidating.

Bingo as a Bridge Between Generations

Unlike many other forms of online gambling, e-bingo holds strong cultural appeal. Played in malls, barangay halls, and now via smartphones, it cuts across social classes and age groups. The digital evolution of this game has been key to its growth—allowing platforms like BingoPlus to offer engaging features such as livestreamed draws, instant prizes, and even celebrity brand ambassadors.

A Turning Point for Public Perception?

Jackpots of this scale can significantly shift public attitudes. While online gambling still carries stigma in some quarters, big wins often attract widespread media attention and user curiosity. Analysts believe this could spur new user sign-ups and broader engagement—not just for BingoPlus, but across PAGCOR-regulated digital platforms.

Regulatory Oversight Remains Crucial

This record-setting moment also puts the spotlight on PAGCOR’s role in balancing growth with oversight. With lawmakers and the public scrutinizing digital gambling amid wider debates over POGOs (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators), the success of regulated local platforms like BingoPlus offers a blueprint for responsible growth.

As the Philippines’ digital gaming market matures, landmark wins like this serve both as milestones and stress tests—pushing platforms to deliver secure, fair, and transparent player experiences.

Bottom Line

With a ₱960 million payout now etched into local gaming history, BingoPlus has not only created a life-changing moment for one player, but also upped the ante for the entire e-bingo industry. And for the Philippine gaming sector, this might just be the start of even bigger things ahead.
