Junket operators will still be allowed to operate in the future despite current “adjustment” – Secretary for Economy

Secretary for Economy and Finance Lei Wai Nong stated today (Monday) that agreements between junket operators and gaming concessionaires concerning VIP rooms activities will still be allowed in the future if they “fulfil all legal requirements”.

“We have a legal framework that allows for the relationship between gaming operators and junkets if everything is done according to the law,” the Secretary said after a ceremony to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the establishment of the Macau SAR.

However, Lei underlined that licensed junket operators would have to be mindful that “when they carry out gambling promotion activities they must respect Macau regulations and if they carry them outside the SAR they must respect the regulations of that jurisdiction”.
