Derrick Rose knows what it feels like to be the center of attention. This time, however, the former NBA Most Valuable Player made sure ArenaPlus’ most loyal players had their moment.
Rose joined ArenaPlus’ most valued players for an exclusive Champion’s Circle Appreciation Dinner on Tuesday, August 25, giving members of the brand’s strictly invitational VIP tier a rare evening with the basketball icon.
Held at Kasadya Buffet Buko Bar at Shangri-La Mactan here, the appreciation night brought together ArenaPlus VIPs from Cebu, key opinion leaders, and members of the media for an intimate celebration designed to give the brand’s high-value players an experience beyond the sportsbook.
Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed a specially curated program featuring cultural performances, raffle draws, and opportunities to interact with Rose, with photo opportunities among the night’s biggest highlights.
But while Rose provided the star power, the evening was ultimately about the players ArenaPlus wanted to thank.
The event reflected the brand’s continuing commitment to recognizing and rewarding its most loyal players through exclusive experiences created especially for them.
Although unable to attend in person, ArenaPlus Head Ethan William welcomed guests through a pre-recorded message, thanking the company’s VIPs for their continued trust and support.
“We started VIP Nights last December for one simple reason: to recognize our most valued players and give you something made just for you,” said William.
“Tonight is our way of saying thank you for being part of ArenaPlus. And of course, we wanted to make it extra special.”
Beyond the exclusive evening, William also reaffirmed ArenaPlus’; commitment to improving the overall player experience.
He said players can look forward to an enhanced ArenaPlus platform with faster loading and bet processing, a smoother and more intuitive interface, and strengthened responsible gaming tools.
