Asia’s Diamond Soul Siren Nina performed her own hits and soulful covers before the Okada crowd. At the same time, pop star Joey G kept the energy high for the Solaire guests with his dynamic renditions of well-loved chart-toppers.
The revelries kicked off with the Champions VIP Circle Night on Dec. 12 at the Chairman’s Lounge in Okada Manila in Entertainment City, where top-tier players were welcomed to a curated evening of premium hospitality and direct engagement with the ArenaPlus leadership team.
The following night, Dec. 13, the Champions Prime Circle Night at the neighboring Solaire’s Baccarat Room brought together a community of high-engagement ArenaPlus users whose habits and insights continue to shape the platform’s ongoing features and rewards development.
“We are the biggest sportsbook in the Philippines, and we try to dedicate ourselves to bringing you the best experience," said ArenaPlus Head Erick Su. “I'm really proud that you've joined us, and we will dedicate ourselves to providing you more this (coming) year.

“We will have a fresh new loyalty system in the next year, and we will give you more privileges—to have access to exclusive events ... all the sports tickets,” Su went on.
Alongside upgrades, ArenaPlus also announced strengthened responsible gaming measures. New tools now include customizable deposit limits, play-time reminders, self-exclusion features, and access to 24/7 customer support. These enhancements reflect the brand’s position that responsible gaming is integral to its identity and its long-term relationship with players.
“All this really shows that ArenaPlus really cares about their players,” said the VIP Circle winner from Manila, who will also get the chance to meet ArenaPlus ambassador and former NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose.

“I also have to think carefully about what shoe I’ll have D-Rose sign on,” the 35-year-old, who has been playing on the platform for two years, added with a chuckle.
ArenaPlus Marketing Manager Hannah Bagui capped off the twin Thanksgiving nights on Saturday with more prizes ranging from luxury fashion vouchers to substantial ArenaPlus gaming credits.
“Tonight is our way of saying thank you. You set the standard for ArenaPlus—your expectations keep us sharp, and your loyalty drives us to deliver faster, better, and with greater intention,” Bagui told the guests.
Both nights featured a sumptuous spread, free-flowing drinks, and a lively game-floor atmosphere, with two major raffle winners walking away with trips to the United States and Japan. (Robert Requintina)
