Abstract

This presentation covers the evolution, current regulation and future perspectives of the law applicable to gaming promoters in the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, the world's largest casino gaming jurisdiction by revenue. In Macau the regulation of gaming promoters, first introduced in 2001/2002 and then subsequently expanded, has some unique features. Promoters are not just international marketing agents who recruit new patrons for the casinos. They may grant credit, collect unpaid credit, help with money transfers/arrangements, and sometimes share in the revenue of gaming tables or rooms in casinos (VIP rooms). In September 2015 major reforms were announced, and it remains a matter of prime interest to see how the legislation will evolve.
