Taguig City, Philippines, 25 May 2026 — As Filipino households continue to navigate rising costs and a shifting economic landscape, Casino Plus, one of the country’s leading responsible entertainment and gaming platforms licensed and regulated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), is reinforcing its commitment to player protection, financial transparency, and responsible entertainment.
The Philippine Statistics Authority reported that headline inflation rose to 7.2% in April 2026 from 4.1% in March 2026, its highest level in over three years. For many Filipinos, this translates into real everyday pressures from higher grocery expenses to rising utility and transport costs. In this environment, Casino Plus believes trust, regulation, and financial safeguards matter more than ever.
A Platform Backed by Financial Strength
Casino Plus operates within the regulatory framework of PAGCOR and continues to invest in systems that protect players and support responsible play.
Beyond its licensing, Casino Plus has secured a ₱1-Billion PhilFirst Surety Bond — a legally binding financial instrument that reinforces the company’s ability to protect player funds and uphold its obligations.
“We understand that Filipinos are being more careful about where their money goes,” said Casino Plus Chief Executive Officer Evan Spytma. “Our ₱1-Billion Surety Bond is proof that we take player protection seriously. It reflects our commitment to operating with financial discipline, transparency, and accountability,” Spytma added.
Player Security Amid Economic Uncertainty
With economic conditions placing added pressure on Filipino households, Casino Plus continues to prioritize long-term player confidence over short-term promotional activity.
The company’s combination of PAGCOR compliance, financial safeguards, KYC security, and customer support infrastructure provides players with a more secure and accountable gaming environment.
While entertainment remains a personal choice, Casino Plus believes it must be delivered responsibly with clear safeguards, transparent processes, and immediate access to legitimate winnings.
Entertainment Built on Trust
Casino Plus serves a wide range of Filipino players and recognizes that entertainment spending is often reconsidered during challenging economic periods. This is why the company continues to strengthen its platform, improve customer support, and promote responsible gaming practices across its operations.
“At Casino Plus, we built our platform on a simple but powerful truth: entertainment should light up a moment, not consume a life. We remind our players that control isn’t a restriction—it’s a form of respect for your time, the people who count on you, and the life that extends far beyond any screen. Control is as important as enjoying the moment,” Spytma stresses.
Casino Plus remains committed to ensuring that players are treated not only as users, but as individuals who deserve fairness, security, and care.
Looking Forward
The Philippine economy has weathered significant challenges before, and Filipinos have consistently shown resilience. Casino Plus intends to be part of that landscape as a reliable, regulated, and responsible entertainment platform.
In a time when stability matters, Casino Plus remains committed to giving Filipino players a platform they can trust — one grounded in regulation, protection, and responsible play.
RESPONSIBLE GAMING ADVISORY
In accordance with PAGCOR’s Responsible Gaming Code of Practice, Casino Plus wishes to remind all players of the following:
Gaming is for entertainment purposes only. It should not be considered a source of income or a means of financial relief. Players are encouraged to play responsibly and within their means.
Winning is never guaranteed. All gaming outcomes are determined by chance. Past results, including jackpot wins, do not influence or predict future outcomes.
