What FollowBet x VMX Live includes
The press note describes FollowBet as a feature that allows users to view “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”. Suzy Polyanska, vice-president of player engagement at OnlyFun.PH, said:
“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.”
The platform says the experience integrates live streaming with gaming functions tied to OnlyFun.PH’s regulated environment.

“Through the platform’s FollowBet feature, we are fostering a community-centred experience that elevates the standards of our local gaming landscape.”
Kuan added that OnlyFun.PH is designed to drive the expansion of FUNaloMAX into interactive entertainment.
