GameZone: the Tongits app, what is in it, and who is behind it
GameZone calls itself the number one Tongits platform, and unusually for this market it comes with a name you can trace. Here is what the operator publishes about it, the full list of games it names, and how the app measures up against the four most Filipinos already have installed.

Who publishes it, and why that is the first thing to look at
Most pages about this brand will tell you it is licensed and move on. The more useful question is who is behind it, because that is the part you can actually check, and it is printed in a place nobody can edit after the fact: Apple publishes the seller of every app on its store.
For GameZone that seller is DigiPlus.
If that name looks familiar from elsewhere on this site, it should. DigiPlus is the group behind BingoPlus and ArenaPlus — two of the eight sites we recommend, and the ones with the longest paper trail of any operator we have looked at. DigiPlus Interactive Corp is listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange, which means published accounts and a board with its name on them. In a market where plenty of brands are a logo and a payment page, that is a meaningful difference.
The habit worth keeping. Whatever brand you are looking at, find the corporation before you find the review. Brands are renamed and relaunched constantly — we watched Playtime become PT Gaming on another page of this site — but the corporation is what regulators list and what stock exchanges publish.
What is actually in it
The app is titled GameZone – #1 Tongits Platform, and the description names its games rather than gesturing at "hundreds of titles". That is worth something on its own: a list you can check is a different kind of promise from a number you cannot.
The Filipino card games: Tongits and Pusoy. These are the reason the app exists, and they work differently from everything else on the page — Tongits is played against other people rather than against the house, so what you keep and what you throw decides the round. If you learned it from your cousins, you already know the rules.
The slots: Super Ace, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Starlight Princess, Sugar Rush, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Fortune Rabbit, Mahjong Ways, Lucky Neko, Wild Bandito and Aztec Gems. The providers named are JILI and Pragmatic Play — the two studios whose titles show up on nearly every Philippine-facing site, which is why several of those names will look familiar from our games page.
The operator’s own description also carries two phrases worth repeating because they are unusually concrete for this market: no agent cuts, and fast withdrawals, with GCash named for cashing out.
How the app compares
Every row below comes from the operator’s own App Store listing, read in August 2026. No estimates, and nothing copied from a comparison table that was written two years ago and never revisited.
| App | Size | Needs | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| GameZone | 105.8 MB | iOS 15.0 | 2.3.2, 1 August |
| ArionPlay | 32.4 MB | iOS 15.1 | 1.0.8, 17 June |
| PT Gaming | 103.6 MB | iOS 13.0 | 2.8.9, 3 August |
| BingoPlus | 121.8 MB | iOS 16.0 | 5.3.24 |
| ArenaPlus | 177.6 MB | iOS 13.0 | 4.41.1 |
GameZone sits in the middle: a little lighter than BingoPlus, a lot lighter than ArenaPlus, and updated recently — 1 August, which tells you the app is being maintained rather than left to rot on the store.
On requirements it asks for iOS 15.0. That reaches an iPhone 6s or newer, the same hardware PT Gaming reaches with its iOS 13; the difference is only whether the phone has been kept updated. BingoPlus is the one that draws a real hardware line, since iOS 16 needs an iPhone 8 or newer.
All of which matters less than it sounds, because Android runs 87.67% of Philippine phones against 12.32% for iOS on Statcounter’s July 2026 figures. On Android these apps come from the operator’s own site rather than the Play Store, which carries almost no real-money casino apps.
Where we would play tonight
We have no arrangement with GameZone, which is why there is no button for it anywhere on this page. But the connection above is a genuinely useful one: if what you like about GameZone is the DigiPlus group behind it, BingoPlus and ArenaPlus are the same group, they are both on our list, and we have written up both in full.
BingoPlus carries the same JILI catalogue plus the bingo and perya games the group is known for. ArenaPlus is the sports side — the official partner of the PBA, the NBA and the PVL — with a daily rebate that carries no wagering at all.
All eight sites below take GCash directly, in and out, with no crypto detour, and seven of the eight hold a PAGCOR licence. The quickest way in is the same everywhere: register with your name exactly as it appears on your GCash account, finish verification straight away, and take one small cash out early so you have watched the route work before it carries anything that matters.
It carries Tongits too, alongside the bingo and perya games the group built its name on, and the same JILI catalogue. Our full write-up is on the BingoPlus review.
Frequently asked questions
Who owns GameZone?
The App Store publishes the seller of every app, and for GameZone it is DigiPlus - the group that also owns BingoPlus and ArenaPlus, two of the eight sites on our list. DigiPlus Interactive Corp is listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange, which makes it one of the more traceable operators in this market.
What games does GameZone have?
The listing names them outright: Tongits and Pusoy among the Filipino card games, and Super Ace, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Starlight Princess, Sugar Rush, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Fortune Rabbit, Mahjong Ways, Lucky Neko, Wild Bandito and Aztec Gems among the slots. The providers named are JILI and Pragmatic Play.
How big is the GameZone app?
105.8 MB at version 2.3.2, last updated 1 August, and it needs iOS 15.0 or later. That puts it in the middle of the pack: lighter than ArenaPlus at 177.6 MB and BingoPlus at 121.8 MB, heavier than ArionPlay at 32.4 MB.
Can I cash out from GameZone to GCash?
The listing names GCash for withdrawals and puts "fast withdrawals" and "no agent cuts" in its own description. For what a GCash payout looks like in practice, and the three things that hold one up, our withdrawal page walks through it.
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.
