Bloomberry’s OnlyFun.PH will bring more than 100 streamers to its FollowBet feature this quarter. Suzy Polyanska, the vice president who heads player engagement, says creator-led content is the immediate growth focus. The platform will also grow its game catalogue alongside the streamer push.
FollowBet launched last week together with Viva Communications’ VMX Live service. It puts live gaming, chat and streaming in one product. A user can follow a personality, talk with them and play alongside the audience at the same time.
The Q4 streamer onboarding plan
Polyanska told The Philippine Star that the 100-plus onboarding is concentrated in this quarter alone. The scale matters: OnlyFun.PH is adding a creator network quickly rather than expanding slowly, which makes creator-led sessions the central play for the business.
The company also plans a larger title selection. Polyanska said the catalogue will expand while the streamer roster grows, so the growth depends on both supply of content and supply of games. No user numbers or revenue targets have been published for FollowBet so far.
VMX hosts anchor the FollowBet rollout
Angeli Khang and Robb Guinto were named brand ambassadors and livestream hosts at the launch. The Daily Tribune reported that Jen Rosa, Skye, the Razon sisters and Zarah Laxamana are joining the roster in the weeks ahead. Most of the new streamers will come from VMX.
Jay Montelibano, a Viva Communications vice president, said the deal gives VMX artists a route to reach new audiences. His team says the service runs around the clock and lets viewers switch between different hosts. The line from OnlyFun.PH’s side is clear: the partnership widens fan bases, builds community rapport and adds interactive sessions.

Viewer stakes linked to host wins
The revenue model gives the streamer push a reason to work. Under FollowBet, a viewer shares the stake with the host they are watching. A winning round for the personality is also a winning round for the audience, and a losing round costs both sides.
That shared-stake design ties the entertainment experience to the gaming experience directly. It also raises the question of how payouts are settled when a session runs late or a host is unavailable. The reports so far do not explain the settlement mechanics.
Age checks, KYC and PAGCOR licensing
OnlyFun.PH restricts its games to users aged 21 and over and applies know your customer verification to every player, Polyanska said. Each FollowBet broadcast is subject to content guidelines, and safety protocols cover both players and streamers.
The company said FollowBet operates under a PAGCOR licence. The platform sits inside FUNaloMAX, the digital gaming arm of Bloomberry, which is run by Enrique Razon Jr.’s Solaire business. OnlyFun.PH launched in early October as a creator-led entertainment app that combines live shows with gaming.
Competition for PH online players intensifies
The creator-led push arrives as land-based operators compete harder for online players in the Philippines. International Entertainment Corporation is preparing to launch its own LaVie online casino platform in Manila this month, and the segment is crowded by a mix of PAGCOR-regulated operators and sweepstakes gaming models.

None of the current reports include user numbers or revenue expectations for FollowBet. That is the next thing to watch: whether the streamer roster translates into engaged users, and whether the shared-stake mechanic can support a repeat audience.
