Macau’s mass-market tourism shift driven by junket reform

A study by researchers at the University of Macau highlights the shift in the region’s gaming industry from a VIP junket-driven model to one focused on mass-market tourism as a collaborative regulatory effort between China and Macau since 2021. Stricter regulations on deposits and limitations on gaming promoters’ activities have been introduced to enhance accountability and oversight, particularly regarding joint liability for casinos in disputes involving junket operators. The Gaming Law of 2022 marked a significant regulatory shift, prohibiting junkets from independently offering deposit services and imposing joint liability on casinos unless they demonstrate proper oversight.
