Actress Rhen Escaño renews her partnership with CC6 Online Casino and FunBingo, two leading online gaming platforms in the country. But instead of focusing solely on promotions, she continues to highlight philanthropy, using her platform to bring aid to underserved communities.
With 700,000 daily active users, CC6 Online Casino has earned recognition as the “Most Trusted Online Casino” and “Top Responsible Gaming Platform.” Meanwhile, FunBingo, catering to 40,000 daily players, was recently honored with the “Outstanding Community Service Award” for its dedication to community welfare. Both platforms operate under PAGCOR certification and hold international accreditations from the Malta Gaming Authority and Gaming Curaçao. Security and fairness are further ensured through GeoTrust certification, while players benefit from 24/7 customer support and an expedited claims resolution system.
While some celebrities face criticism for endorsing online gaming, Escaño has steered clear of controversy by prioritizing charity. “Wala po akong natanggap na bashing,” she shared. “Siguro po kasi hindi naman ako nag-e-encourage na mag-sign up sa online games namin. Ang napapanood nila, yung mga outreach namin. Yung mga pagtulong na ginagawa namin sa malalayong lugar.” (I haven’t received any backlash. Maybe because I don’t encourage people to sign up for online gaming. What they see is our outreach efforts—helping those in far-flung areas.)
In September 2024, CC6 Online Casino and FunBingo launched the “FunBarangay” program, providing direct assistance to communities in need. Escaño has been actively involved and is set to expand her outreach in 2025 through collaborations with events producer Dhevy Sahagun, B’Vibes Entertainment Production, and JAF Digital Group.
Her community work extends beyond scheduled events. On Sundays, while many unwind, Escaño devotes her time to bringing joy to children in need. She recalls a memorable experience celebrating her birthday with an Aeta community and abused young women in Bulacan. “Even if malayo, mahaba ang biyahe, nakakawala ng pagod at stress when you see the kids,” she said. (Even if it’s far and the journey is long, the exhaustion and stress disappear when you see the kids.)
Committed to making a lasting impact, she has also been supporting Aeta students in Bataan, ensuring they receive proper education. Looking ahead, she hopes to expand her advocacy to environmental initiatives. “Hopefully, magkaroon naman kami ng tree-planting projects,” she shared. (Hopefully, we can have tree-planting projects.)
With her growing efforts in charity and sustainability, Escaño continues to redefine responsible gaming—proving that online platforms can be a force for good.
