Macau saw a slight drop in the number of Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) from gaming operators in 2025 when compared to the previous year, totaling 3,603.
According to statistics from the SAR’s Financial Intelligence Unit (GIF), the figure amounted to 73.1 percent of the total.
Across the board, STRs reported during the year were down by 6.1 percent, which the GIF largely attributes to the drop in STRs from the gaming sector. Some 4,925 STRs were registered in 2025, down from 5,245 in 2024.
Financial Institutions flagged 1,008 STRs during the year, compared to 1,097 in 2024, while Other Institutions registered just 314, up minutely from 311 in the previous year.
Of the total STRs, the GIF – under Macau’s Unitary Police Service – forwarded 118 of the STRs to the Public Prosecutions Office, however the data did not indicate which of these were linked to gaming.
