The released statement said: “GEG and all of its properties (including Galaxy Macau, Broadway Macau, and StarWorld Hotel), have no affiliations with any online gambling and betting sites, nor have we directly or indirectly authorised any websites and/or related companies to carry out any form of online gambling and betting activities for and on behalf of us.”
The group urged customers to contact police or customer services, “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”.
The group didn’t name any concrete websites related to the incident. But it stated it’s not responsible for any losses incurred because of these sites. The group added it might take legal action against the frauds for using the group’s brand without permission.
Several Macau casinos faced similar problems before, mostly because online gambling is not regulated in Macau. Galaxy Entertainment said it had no plans to move to that direction, despite many casinos moving to the online market during the pandemic.
