Galaxy Entertainment Opens New Overseas Office in Singapore
Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) has opened a new overseas office in Singapore. This strategic initiative marks a new chapter in GEG’s growth trajectory and underscores its commitment to promoting Macau as the “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure” to a broader audience across Southeast Asia.
Singapore, one of Asia’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan countries, has long been a key source market for Macau. The new office, located in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District, will serve as a dedicated hub to enhance connections with the Singaporean business community, as well as showcasing to Singapore and the broader Southeast Asian Region Macau’s dynamic evolving tourism landscape-highlighting its rich cultural heritage, luxury hospitality and increasingly diverse world-class leisure and entertainment experience offering.
The opening of Galaxy’s Lion City office is closely aligned with the Macao SAR Government’s vision to diversify tourism offerings and expand visitor demographics. Through its ramped-up Singapore presence, GEG aims to curate bespoke travel experiences tailored to the preferences of Singaporean and regional travelers, ensuring seamless journeys from planning to arrival.
GEG’s new office will support tourism, meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) inquiries, reinforcing its role as a versatile hospitality leader and a trusted partner for business tourism.
In addition, GEG’s Singapore office reflects the Group’s forward-thinking approach to innovation, customer-centricity and regional collaboration. It also signals GEG’s intent to enhance brand visibility and foster meaningful connections with travelers and stakeholders across Asia.
To celebrate the grand opening, GEG hosted an elegant gala dinner at JW Marriott Singapore, welcoming distinguished guests, business partners and media representatives. Mr. Elmen Lee, Director of Integrated Resort Services at GEG, introduced to the guests the Group’s three flagship properties in Macau-Galaxy Macau and Galaxy International Convention Center, Broadway Macau and StarWorld Hotel.
Mr. Lee said: “Singapore has always been an important source market for Macau. The taste and sophistication of Singaporean travelers naturally align with Macau’s experiential tourism offering. We firmly believe that Galaxy Entertainment Group’s diverse offerings will attract more Singaporean visitors to visit us and explore more. In support of the Macao SAR Government’s vision to promote tourism diversification, Galaxy Entertainment Group is continuing to expand its international visitor base to inject more vitality into Macau.”
Galaxy Macau, Broadway Macau and StarWorld Hotel bring together luxurious accommodations, award-winning dining, premium shopping and world-class entertainment facilities; each with its own unique character. With Galaxy Macau home to nine of the world’s leading luxury hospitality brands under one roof, catering to the diverse needs of international travelers; the Galaxy trio collectively showcases the excellence of Macau’s hospitality industry.

DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the Philippines’ premier digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone, announced a landmark partnership with Philippine First Insurance Co. Inc. (PhilFirst), the country’s first domestic insurance company. Together, they have introduced the Philippines’ first-ever surety bond programme for online gaming players – setting a new benchmark in player protection. The programme takes effect immediately.
For players, this means more peace of mind every time they log in, as long as their eKYC (electronic Know-Your-Customer) information is up to date and they continue to play within the platform’s guidelines. Whether it’s a casual gamer or a loyal fan celebrating a big win, they can enjoy BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone knowing their wallets and balances are even better protected.
Through this initiative, eligible players benefit from an added financial safeguard. The surety bond protects player balances of up to ₱1 million per player, without requiring customers to purchase a separate policy.
“DigiPlus is proud to be the first in the industry to roll out this level of consumer protection. We are committed to putting our players first. With this surety bond, they can play confidently on BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone, knowing that their funds are safeguarded,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco.
How does the DigiPlus surety bond work?
Eligibility: Players must be eKYC-verified, have made at least one successful deposit, and be in good standing within the platform’s guidelines.
Coverage: The surety bond safeguards player wallets and balances up to ₱1 million per player.
Activation: Protection is in place immediately and applies automatically for all eligible players across BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone.
This latest measure strengthens DigiPlus’ commitment to reliable customer service and protection, adding the surety bond to its 24/7 customer support and 130+ physical BingoPlus stores nationwide, which already serve as convenient and trusted outlets for players.
With the addition of the surety bond, DigiPlus continues to raise industry standards – delivering not only engaging and innovative gaming offerings but also a stronger guarantee of trust, security and peace of mind for its customers.

Gamban is now available in Japanese, making it easier for Japanese speakers to access the blocking software and take steps towards a life free from gambling harm.
“With the help of designers based in Tokyo, we’ve created a dedicated website built to feel familiar for people in Japan. By tailoring the experience this way, we have made it easier for more users to navigate the website, understand Gamban and take their first step towards recovery,” the Company said.
“While Gamban was created to block gambling sites, we also want to provide as many people as possible with the right information, in the right language, at the right time.
“This update is part of our continuous aspiration to make Gamban accessible to as many people as possible, wherever they are and whatever language they speak. By offering Gamban in Japanese, we aim to remove barriers for those who may otherwise struggle to find the right tools to help them quit online gambling.”
Matt Zarb-Cousin, co-founder of Gamban, said: “We are committed to not only translating but also localising Gamban so it looks and feels familiar to people, wherever they might be. Our mission is not only to make blocking software as good as it can be, but also as accessible as possible.”
The Company added: “We’ve been fortunate to receive input and support from Japanese organisations such as The Society Concerned About Gambling Addiction, helping us ensure the translation is accurate, accessible, and culturally appropriate for users in Japan.”
