Asia’s leading online betting platform, Maxim88, has sealed a two-year partnership with legendary English striker and former Liverpool and Manchester United star Michael Owen, who will be representing the brand as official Brand Ambassador in Asia.

Michael Owen is one of the greatest English & Premier League strikers of his generation – with his signature great pace, instinctive finishes and agility. A prolific goal scorer, he had defenders quivering in fear but won the hearts of fans with his skills and astuteness on the field. He not only excelled in the regional leagues with the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Newcastle, but also thrived on the international stage representing England.

The revered English striker will collaborate with Maxim88 to promote the brand across Asia ahead of the English Premier League kick-off on 6 August and conduct various digital marketing activations to further boost the brand’s awareness across the region. This deal also signifies Maxim88’s intent to strengthen its position as Asia’s leading online betting platform and reinforce their commitment to provide only the best in terms of quality, choice and security to sports enthusiasts in Asia.

“Maxim88 is dedicated to being a reliable and user-friendly platform that is always working on providing members the best there is. As a matter of fact, we have secured the partnership with Evolution Gaming to elevate members’ gaming experience, and we hope that this new collaboration with Michael Owen will bring on something fresh and exciting.

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.”
