Authors of the book Gambling Law in Macau believed that while Macau’s gaming laws is up to date, regulations for junket operators needs a bit of upgrading.

During the book launch, Fernando Vitória, one of the authors and legal adviser to the Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), pointed that casino promoters, just like any other professionals, should work under an Ethic Code—a document drafted specifically for junket professionals that could also be approved by the government.

“The government could participate in its drafting, but should outline something for the junkets. All professions have an ethics code, which is equally or sometimes even more important that current legislation in force,” said Vitória.

Vitoria also stressed that another aspect that could be perfected relates to “how the law foresees access to funding sources that they need.”
