Casino Plus, a duly licensed online casino platform in the Philippines and one of the country’s leading responsible gaming brands licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), recorded a single jackpot payout of ₱271,433,871.79. This prize, one of the notable individual online gaming payouts recorded in the country this year, was won in the platform’s popular, uniquely Filipino-inspired Color Games.

In a simple yet meaningful awarding ceremony witnessed by officials from PAGCOR, Casino Plus CEO Evan Spytma formally handed over the check to the winner, who, for security and privacy reasons, goes by the name “Angel.”

“At CasinoPlus, we acknowledge wins and take responsibility for delivering Filipino-inspired games in a fair and transparent manner. But more importantly, we stand for self-control, awareness, and smart decisions. This jackpot of over ₱271 million is a verified outcome under our platform’s regulated framework, while reinforcing our commitment to player safety, fair processes, and responsible digital gaming,” said Casino Plus CEO Evan Spytma.

Upholding transparency and full regulatory compliance

The jackpot payout was processed in full compliance with PAGCOR requirements, including mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, anti-money laundering (AML) protocols, and robust encryption security measures. Casino Plus strictly adheres to the regulatory body’s responsible gaming framework, upholding the highest standards of player protection and operational integrity.

“Integrity and transparency remain at the core of our mandate at PAGCOR, and big moments like this reinforce the trust placed in the country’s gaming industry. Let us continue playing safe by supporting PAGCOR-licensed gaming sites and responsible gaming partners”, said Senior Compliance and Monitoring Officer Cheryl Dyoco.

One Win, A Lifetime of Possibilities

Angel, a mother and sari-sari store owner from Central Luzon, was a registered Casino Plus online player at the time of her win.

“Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nanalo ako ng jackpot. Naglalaro lang ako ng Color Game sa Casino Plus during my free time—pampalipas oras lang,” Angel shared in an interview. “Maraming salamat sa Casino Plus for this opportunity. Napakadali at mabilis ang proseso ng pag-claim ng prize, at inalalayan nila ako sa bawat step, kaya dagdag peace of mind. Malaking tulong ito sa pamilya ko, lalo na para sa pag-aaral ng anak ko.”

When asked about a tip she could share for other players, “Saken importante talaga ang control. Tuwing good mood lang ako naglalaro and may limit kasi alam ko naman ang responsibilities ko. Also, siniguro ko rin na sa legitimate gaming app ng PAGCOR lang para iwas scam.”

Beyond the Colors, Uniquely Filipino

Color Game is one of Casino Plus’s most popular live game offerings on its online casino platform in the Philippines. Players place bets on one or more color combinations before a game host pulls a lever to reveal a randomized combination of results. Wins are determined by how a player’s chosen colors match the outcome and multiplier bonuses. Games are hosted live, often by prominent personalities, and streamed in real time to players nationwide.

Casino Plus emphasizes that sustainable gaming begins with informed players. Responsible gaming is a core principle, and the platform encourages users to set personal limits, play within their means, and approach gaming as entertainment.

In August 2024, a ₱303-million jackpot was won on Casino Plus, marking one of the platform’s largest payouts to date. Since its launch on August 31, 2023, the game has paid out prizes to 76 players, with total payouts reaching approximately ₱870 million. These outcomes reflect the platform’s adherence to transparent processes and regulatory standards set by PAGCOR.
