The Sunwin brand journey: from 2016 to the present
According to brand history records provided to Sunwin .,JSC, the Sunwin brand has evolved alongside major shifts in the East Asian online entertainment industry.
2016 — The Sunwin brand is established within the ecosystem associated with Suncity Group, the Macau-based group founded by businessman Alvin Chau. This marks the brand's origin, distinct from the later establishment of a Vietnamese legal entity.
2019 — Sunwin expands into Vietnam through an app-only model, aligned with the shift of Vietnamese users toward smartphone-based entertainment.
November 2021 — Restructuring begins. Alvin Chau is detained by Macau authorities on charges related to illegal junket operations and is later sentenced to 18 years in prison in January 2023. The entire Suncity ecosystem enters a period of restructuring.
July–August 2022 — Sunwin's parent group rebrands. Suncity Group Holdings Limited (HKEX code 1383) files to change its name to LET Group Holdings Limited on July 18, 2022, with the change taking effect August 16, 2022. Mr. Andrew Lo Kai Bong takes over a 74.98 percent stake. The new leadership announces a strategic pivot toward tourism and divestment from casino and iGaming operations.
January 13, 2023 — The Sunwin brand gains a Vietnamese legal entity. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thai Ha establishes Công ty Cổ phần Truyền thông Sun Win (Sunwin .,JSC) in Hanoi. According to transfer records provided to Sunwin .,JSC, Ms. Ha was selected to lead the Sunwin brand in Vietnam during the transition period.
July 2023 — Sunwin transfers in parallel with Hoiana. The Straits Times reports that the Cheng family of Hong Kong, through Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Ltd., has assumed control of the Hoiana Resort & Golf complex in Quang Nam Province from LET Group. According to transfer records provided to Sunwin .,JSC, the Sunwin brand's connection to the Cheng family ownership structure was established in the same period. Details specific to the Sunwin brand are based on internal records and are not identical to the publicly disclosed Hoiana transaction.
January 2025 — Restructuring concludes. VMS Group, a Chow Tai Fook-linked company, formally takes a 75 percent stake in Hoi An South Development Ltd., closing out the 2022–2024 restructuring cycle.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hoang (nguyenquochoang@sunwincity.com) — Managing Editor, Sunwin Section. Mr. Hoang coordinates day-to-day editorial workflow at sunwincity.com, writes platform reviews and in-depth analyses, and reviews staff submissions before escalating to the Publisher.
