Galaxy Racer (GXR), the largest esports, gaming and lifestyle organisation are pleased to announce Rohin Bhaumik as Galaxy Racer South Asia’s new Head of Creators and Talent. Rohin joins GXR with a strong background in esports and gaming, having worked both as an influencer and in creator management at Intel India and Garena’s BOOYAH! respectively. His new role within Galaxy Racer will see him focus on both current and future content creators, scaling them at hyper growth speed.
With over six years of experience within the influencer industry, Rohin joins the company following two years at gaming publisher Garena as Creator Manager and Product Lead. He has also previously worked with leading brands such as PUBG Mobile, Intel and OnePlus. While at Garena, he led the BOOYAH! team between 2020 and 2021, creating multiple IP’s around the creators across games such as Free Fire, GTA Online and Fall Guys.

Since then, his career has gone from strength to strength, with Rohin hosting the English panel of the PUBG Mobile All Stars by Tencent and the English broadcast of the PMCO Spring Split as well as working alongside notable talent in the gaming world.
Having worked across both sides of the gaming industry, from a publisher and brand perspective, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the Galaxy Racer team.

Macau Government Extends Lottery Concession of Macau Slot Until 5 June 2026

The Macau government has extended the lottery concession of Macau Slot Co Ltd for one year until 5 June 2026.
The concession renewal was published in the official gazette on Wednesday. Further extensions may be granted, subject to mutual agreement between the Macau government and Macau Slot.
As part of the renewal terms, Macau Slot is required to gradually reduce its number of non-resident employees and actively collaborate with the government to recruit and retain local talent.
Earlier this month, the government held a meeting with Macau Slot representatives to discuss the extension. According to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the city’s industry regulator, Macau Slot committed to cutting 35% of its non-local, non-skilled workforce—equivalent to 26 positions—by the first quarter of 2026. The company also pledged to make further reductions to its foreign labour quota in the future. Currently, non-local staff account for 15% of the total workforce at Macau Slot.
“Over the past year, despite fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and slower economic recovery in neighbouring regions, the local economy has remained relatively stable under the guidance of the Macau SAR government’s policies,” Macau Slot said in a statement.
“Looking ahead, we are committed to further diversifying our sports betting products to meet customer demand, while upgrading our information technology infrastructure to stay current and deliver more comprehensive sports betting services.”
