Philippines gaming technology giant DigiPlus Interactive Corp says it has formally filed license applications with South Africa’s Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB) as it looks to continue its recent global expansion efforts.
Two months after first revealing its South African interest, the company explained that it has now applied for three operator licenses: a National Manufacturer License, a Bookmaker License and a Bookmaker Premises License.
It also described South Africa and the WCGRB as a “preferred jurisdiction” for international operators like DigiPlus due to its transparent regulatory processes and digital readiness and said the filing of license applications advances the company’s entry into one of the most promising regulated online gaming markets globally.
“The filing of our online gaming license in South Africa marks another milestone in DigiPlus’ global growth journey, as we bring our proven track record of innovation, responsible gaming,and player protection, together with our strength in localizing games for diverse markets, to one of Africa’s most dynamic economies,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco.
The move into South Africa follows DigiPlus’s recent acquisition of an iGaming license in Brazil.
