ArenaPlus, your 24/7 sports betting app, welcomed Austin Reaves as its newest brand endorser and celebrated the partnership with various activities last August 3, 2024 at Shangri-La the Fort.
The brand, known for supporting athletes in their endeavors, had expressed excitement at bringing Reaves into the fold. The partnership was described as a big milestone for ArenaPlus, showing how much more it has grown and been able to work with various athletes since it was launched.
ArenaPlus held a press conference in the morning to make an official announcement, followed by an exclusive fan meet where several fans spent the afternoon with Reaves. The day then concluded with a private dinner with ArenaPlus VIPs and a few basketball fans to commemorate both the partnership with Reaves and the support the brand has received from its players.
In his opening speech during the press conference, President Jasper Vicencio of Total Gamezone Xtreme, Inc. had remarked upon how far ArenaPlus has come in recent years. Its efforts have allowed it to expand operations and work in even greater capacities and provide more athletes with a wider range of support.
This partnership comes from ArenaPlus’ belief in Reaves’ dedication and professionalism, two facets of the Lakers player that the brand deeply values. As the leading sports entertainment app in the Philippines, ArenaPlus is mindful to only work with the best so that it can further elevate sports appreciation in Filipinos.
During the Q&A portion of the press conference, Vicencio had further expounded on this as he spoke about the significance of ArenaPlus working with several well-known athletes.
Reaves recalled his experience about the warm welcome he received from the Filipino’s. “It feels like home. I’ve been here before so it feels like home. The Filipinos are big sports fans. They know sports really well so partnering with ArenaPlus is like connecting back with everybody,”
In addition, Reaves expressed his gratitude to the brand for the opportunity given to him and to his team. “I never thought in my life to get this far, being from a small town where not many people get the opportunity to do what I’m doing. Every day I wake up and try to cherish that. So to be able to be a brand ambassador for ArenaPlus is very special, not just for me but for all of us”

Following the press conference, ArenaPlus brought Reaves to the Kerry Sports Gym in Shangri-La the Fort for a fan meet called the “Courtside Takeover” in the afternoon. Attendees included fans, online creators, and media partners. The meet had several segments, including a Q&A, games, and raffle.
ArenaPlus continues to be an active member of the sports scene as it draws inspiration from the athletes it strives to support while working towards making sports more fun and entertaining for Filipinos. By inking a partnership with Austin Reaves, ArenaPlus draws closer to its goal of becoming the key source of sports entertainment in the Philippines as well as a trustworthy partner to various sports organizations.
