Press Release
OnlyFun.PH is redefining interactive gaming in the Philippines with the launch of Followbet x VMX Live, an in-platform livestreaming experience that brings together real-time creator engagement and regulated gaming.
Designed as a next-generation innovation, Followbet enables users to watch featured digital personalities and celebrity streamers in real time, engage with them during live broadcasts, and play games alongside them without leaving the livestream—all within a fully regulated environment.
The feature launch builds on the official announcement of OnlyFun.PH as part of FUNaloMAX’s growing digital portfolio released on October 8.
“OnlyFun.PH is designed to spearhead FUNaloMAX’s expansion towards interactive entertainment,” said Kelvin Kuan, Vice President and Head of Online Gaming at Solaire, the company behind FUNaloMAX. “Through the platform’s FollowBet feature, we are fostering a community-centered experience that elevates the standards of our local gaming landscape.”
To lead this launch, Vivamax (VMX) stars Angeli Khang and Robb Guinto will serve as the official brand ambassadors of FollowBet x VMX Live, signaling the platform’s push to deliver a more engaging, personality-driven experience to Filipino audiences.
Jay Montelibano, Vice President of Viva Communications, emphasized that the collaboration reflects the evolution of how mainstream talent engages in today’s digital age.
“Our partnership with OnlyFun.PH through FollowBet x VMX Live offers a fusion that merges pop culture and digital entertainment like you’ve never seen before,” said Montelibano.
As flagship brand ambassadors and livestreamers, Khang and Guinto will host regular streams during scheduled time blocks, giving users direct access to interact and play alongside them in real time. A wider roster of VMX personalities is set to join FollowBet in the coming weeks.
“Being part of FollowBet × VMX Live is an exciting opportunity because it gives us an avenue to hang out, chat, and play games with our fans in real time,” shared Khang.
“I’m thrilled to be part of something that creates a new community for creators, fans, and gamers, and that brings people together through shared live experiences,” added Guinto.
Operating under the license and regulation of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), FollowBet enforces strict content monitoring and broadcast guidelines throughout every livestream. The platform also integrates enterprise-grade Know-Your-Customer (KYC) identity verification, advanced data protection, and built-in responsible gaming controls that ensure a safe user environment for both streamers and players.
“By bringing creator-led livestreaming into an age-gated environment, FollowBet aims to offer an alternative to open public platforms, where enforcing age restrictions can be more challenging,” said Suzy Polyanska, Vice President for Player Engagement at OnlyFun.PH.
To further bring the experience closer to fans, FollowBet rolled out its interactive “Streamer for a Day” live booth during its official launch, giving users and aspiring creators a hands-on experience of hosting live gaming streams and engaging with a real-time audience.
The launch reflects a broader consumer shift toward creator-led content, livestreaming, and real-time social gaming, positioning FollowBet x VMX Live to meet rising market demand for interactive entertainment in the Philippines.
