Macau casino junket operators rocked by yet another internal theft
Macau casino junket operators have started 2016 off on the wrong foot, as word spread of yet another internal theft.
On Wednesday, the Macau Daily Times reported that the Macau Judiciary Police (PJ) had confirmed the suspected theft of at least HKD 99.7m (US $12.5m) from a junket operator working out of L’Arc Macau, which operates under an SJM Holdings license.
The PJ said it received a report on Sunday (3) regarding a man with the surname Chan who held a senior position at the junket operator in question and who has apparently not been heard from in some time. Police are investigating the report but no arrests have been made.
A Bloomberg News report from last year noted that the VIP room on L’Arc’s 21st floor featured signage belonging to the Heng Sheng Group, one of Macau’s top junket operators. However, junket investor Iao Kun Group Holdings also has a presence at L’Arc, and their L’Arc promoter’s surname is Chan.

Sportsbet joins Aussie in-play app party; TopBetta switches on EON Sports Radio
Paddy Power’s Australian offshoot Sportsbet has become the latest operator to offer online in-play betting.
Shortly before Christmas, Sportsbet announced the launch of its new Bet Live feature, which allows punters to place in-play wagers via the Sportsbet Mobile App. The product allows punters to place in-play wagers without the need to speak to a live betting agent on the phone.
Sportsbet joins a growing list of Aussie-licensed operators to offer a workaround to the 2001 Interactive Gambling Act (IGA), which limits live betting to in-person transactions at retail betting outlets or via telephone. To date, William Hill, Ladbrokes and Bet365 have introduced similar apps.
Unlike those other operators, Sportsbet’s product actually involves a phone call over a public switched telephone network, which the company claims makes the app legally compliant. Punters select their wager via the app, click ‘call’ and then enter their stake via their phone’s keypad when prompted. Their wagering details can then be reviewed, after which the punter confirms the bet by pressing ‘1’.
