Galaxy Macau
One of Macau’s major casino operators had to issue a warning to players stating that the company is in no way involved in online gambling and to be wary of any website claiming to be connected to them.
Galaxy Entertainment Group issued a statement saying the following: “GEG and all of its properties (including Galaxy Macau, Broadway Macau, and StarWorld Hotel),” the statement read, “have no affiliations with any online gambling and betting sites, nor have we directly or indirectly authorized any websites and/or related companies to carry out any form of online gambling and betting activities for and on behalf of us.”
The company went on to say:, “Should any member of the public suspect of any fake gambling and betting websites, and/or being cheated or approached by any suspicious persons claiming to be in any way connected with GEG relating to such fake illegal gambling and betting websites, we urge you to report to the police or contact our Customer Service immediately.”
This follows on from the warning by the Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau who issued a statement saying that all online gambling in the territory was illegal and that customers should not be fooled by online gambling sites stating they are connected to land based operations (read the article here).
It is believed that Galaxy made their statement following its finding that illegal online gambling sites were using the prefix of “Galaxy and the word Macau” in its URL, however this is not mentioned by either party.
