ARENAPLUS, the country’s most trusted name in sports betting, introduced their newest ambassadors last June 27, 2025, at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

In a historic ceremony, four members of the Ravena family — renowned athletes in their own right — were officially signed as endorsers of the brand. This includes 4x Southeast Asian Games gold medalist Kiefer Ravena; Dani Ravena, UAAP champion and PVL player for NXLED Chameleons; Thirdy Ravena, 2024 B.League Asia Player of the Year; and their father, Bong Ravena, a 5x PBA champion and current assistant coach for TNT Tropang 5G.

Jasper Vicencio, president of Total Gamezone Xtreme Inc., expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating how honored ArenaPlus is to be represented by athletes who have raised the Philippine flag internationally.

“Hindi lang sa Philippines, from Japan to Dubai, dinadala na nila ang pangalang Ravena and ang bandila ng Pilipinas across the other regions,” he said, adding that the brand deeply respects how Bong instilled discipline in his children, reflecting ArenaPlus' values.

“Truly inspiring, so much pride to Filipinos across the world — their talents, gifts, and heart for the game. Nagkwekwentuhan nga kami kanina with Bong. I guess it’s really hard but also fulfilling to raise a family of athletes.”

Panalo Pag Sama Sama

More than promoting responsible gaming, ArenaPlus champions the value of teamwork. By choosing the Ravena family as endorsers, the brand underscores its belief that success is achieved through unity, whether in sports, in gaming, or in life.

Dani, the first female athlete endorser of ArenaPlus, echoed the sentiment, expressing gratitude for the chance to inspire others: “To be able to represent a company that also has the same values as ours: discipline, determination, passion, and most of all, love for the game. Such an honor.”

Unified Advocacy

Sports and gaming offer more than entertainment — they connect people and build communities. Through this partnership, ArenaPlus and the Ravena family aim to champion responsible gaming while fostering unity and discipline in sports.
