The ArenaPlus app: what it is, and how to get it on your phone
ArenaPlus puts the PBA, the NBA and the PVL in one app, with live streaming, a full casino lobby and GCash in both directions. Here is what the operator’s own listing says about it, how to install it on an iPhone or an Android, and what it does that the website does not.

What the operator’s own listing says
Plenty of pages describe this app. Most of them copy each other. These figures come straight from the App Store listing published by the operator, read on 9 August 2026 — so they are checkable in ten seconds by anyone who wants to.
| What | The listing says |
|---|---|
| App name | ArenaPlus: Live Sports Betting |
| Published by | AB Leisure Exponent, Inc. |
| Version | 4.41.1 |
| Size | 177.6 MB |
| Requires | iOS 13.0 or later |
| Category | Sports |
Two of those deserve a note. The size and the iOS version are worth checking against what you may have read elsewhere: several sites give 85 MB and iOS 12, and neither matches the listing. If your phone is older, 13.0 is the number that decides it.
The publisher name is the useful one. AB Leisure Exponent is the same company behind BingoPlus, and both sit inside the DigiPlus group listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange. When an app is published by a named company you can look up on a stock exchange, the question of who you are handing your details to has an answer.
On an iPhone
- Open the App Store and search for ArenaPlus, or follow the link from arenaplus.ph so you land on the right listing first time.
- Check the publisher line reads AB Leisure Exponent, Inc. That one line is the whole verification.
- Install and open it. Register inside the app, or sign in if you already have an account on the website.
- Add GCash in the cashier and make the first deposit — ₱100 is enough to start.
iOS carries this app in the store, which is unusual for the category and makes the iPhone route the simplest of the two.
On an Android
Android users install from the operator’s own page rather than from the Play Store. That is normal across this whole category in the Philippines — app stores rarely carry real-money betting apps, so operators host the file themselves. It is how BingoPlus, PHMacao and most of the market distribute their Android apps too.
- Open arenaplus.ph in the phone browser. That is the address PAGCOR’s register lists for the brand, so start from it rather than from a search result.
- Tap the download link on the page and let the file finish.
- Allow the install when the phone asks. It asks once, for any file that did not come from the store.
- Open the app, sign in, add GCash and you are set. The icon stays on the home screen and keeps you signed in afterwards.
Start from the button on this page whenever you come back. Typing the brand name into a search box every time is how people end up on the wrong page. A bookmark made from the accredited address cannot be mistyped.
What you actually get inside it
The listing describes a sportsbook and a casino sharing one balance, which is what makes this app worth installing rather than just using the site:
- NBA, PBA and PVL — ArenaPlus is the official betting partner of all three, so the leagues Filipinos actually watch are the ones best covered.
- Live betting, live odds and live streaming in the same screen. You watch the game and place the bet without leaving the app.
- A full casino lobby — slots, arcade, bingo, poker, fishing games, and live baccarat, roulette and blackjack with real dealers.
- GCash and Maya for deposits and withdrawals, both directions, with the payout published at 5 to 15 minutes.
One balance covers all of it. Money put in for the basketball is available on the slots the moment the game ends, and one withdrawal takes the lot back to GCash.
App or website — which is worth it
Both reach the same account, so this is a comfort decision rather than a functional one. Where they differ:
| Decision factor | App | Website |
|---|---|---|
| Live streaming | Yes | Limited |
| Stays signed in | Yes | Until the session expires |
| Space on the phone | 177.6 MB | None |
| Ready in | A minute or two | Seconds |
| Match alerts | Yes | No |
Who should install it. Anyone who follows the PBA or the NBA week to week. Streaming and alerts are the two things the browser cannot match, and they are exactly what a regular viewer wants.
Who can stay on the website. If you play the casino side more than the sport, or the phone is short on space, the browser gives you the same lobby and the same cashier with nothing to install. You can always add the app later — the account is already there.
Starting out, in order
- Install from the right place — App Store on iPhone, arenaplus.ph on Android.
- Register with your real details, matching the name on your GCash account exactly.
- Finish verification straight away. It takes a minute at sign-up and makes the first cash out a non-event.
- Deposit ₱100, claim the daily rebate, and the balance is live on both the sport and the casino side.
Everything above comes from the operator’s own App Store listing and published terms, checked on 9 August 2026. Apps update and terms move — if something here does not match what you see, tell us and it gets corrected.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download the ArenaPlus app?
On iPhone, from the App Store ? the listing is published by AB Leisure Exponent, Inc. and the app is called ArenaPlus: Live Sports Betting. On Android, from the operator's own page at arenaplus.ph, because betting apps are almost never carried in the Play Store. Both routes reach the same account.
How big is the ArenaPlus app and what does it need?
The App Store listing gives 177.6 MB and iOS 13.0 or later, at version 4.41.1. Figures of 85 MB and iOS 12 circulate on other sites; they do not match the operator's own listing.
Can I use GCash inside the ArenaPlus app?
Yes, in both directions. The listing names GCash and Maya for deposits and withdrawals, and the published payout time is 5 to 15 minutes back to the wallet.
Is the ArenaPlus app the same account as the website?
Yes. One account, one balance, both places. Register in either and you are already signed up in the other, and a deposit made on one is available on the other immediately.
Where to play
Seven of the eight hold a PAGCOR licence, PHMacao a Curaçao one, and all eight take GCash directly, both ways — no crypto detour, no third-party wallet. Pick the one that fits how you play, start with the minimum, and cash out once early to see the route work.
