How the NBA and ArenaPlus Are Rewriting Fan Engagement in the Philippines.
ArenaPlus has received a major vote of confidence from one of the world’s biggest sports organizations after becoming the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) first Official Betting Partner in the Philippines.
The multiyear collaboration marks an important turning point for the PAGCOR-licensed online sportsbook, placing it alongside the world’s premier basketball league and reinforcing its standing as a trusted player in the country’s growing sports betting and digital entertainment industry.
For Filipino basketball fans, the partnership links ArenaPlus directly with a league that reaches 214 countries and territories and commands more than 2.5 billion followers across its global digital platforms. The agreement allows ArenaPlus to use official NBA branding across its platforms and participate in localized fan engagement initiatives throughout the Philippines.

Beyond branding rights, the collaboration underscores a shared commitment to responsible gaming and maintaining the integrity of NBA competitions. The two organizations will also work together on NBA-themed free-to-play games, promotions, and fan experiences, including playoff prediction contests and special rewards.
“Becoming the Official Betting Partner of the NBA in the Philippines is a landmark moment for ArenaPlus,” said ArenaPlus head Erick Su. “The NBA represents the highest standard in global sports, and its connection with Filipino fans is unmatched.”
NBA Head of International Gaming and Data Distribution Kuljeet Sindhar said the partnership reflects the league’s commitment to engaging Filipino fans in new ways while promoting responsible gaming practices.
As basketball continues to dominate Philippine sports culture, the partnership gives ArenaPlus a powerful endorsement from the sport’s most influential league, further strengthening its credibility among fans and sports bettors alike.
