Macau is the only place in China where casino gambling is legal.
As of November 2011, exclusion of players from gambling establishments is voluntary. If the person realises that their gambling activities begin to cause trouble, they can turn to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau to ban them from entering the casino. The government of Macau is seeking the opinions of the citizens on the possibility of establishing a programme that will allow excluding problem gamblers from all casinos without their consent. The is currently[] analyzing the new draft law, which also deals with the problem of exclusion from gambling houses. The law suggests that the person can be excluded from the casino if they submit their own request or approve the request submitted by their relatives.
The Macao SAR announced the results of the bidding on February 8, 2002, and the concession was awarded to Sociedade de Jogos de Macau ("SJM"), a subsidiary of STDM, Galaxy Casino, S.A. ("Galaxy"), and Wynn Resorts (Macao) S.A. ("Wynn"). Concession contracts for the operation of casino games of chance were signed on March 28, April 24, and June 26, respectively. The Macao SAR amended the Galaxy's Concession Contract in December of the same year, allowing Galaxy to have a sub-concession relationship with the Venetians Macao S.A. ("Venetian"). Following the issuance of the first sub-concession, on April 20, 2005, and September 8, 2006, respectively, the SJM and Wynn signed sub-concession agreements with MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. ("MGM") and Melco PBL Jogos (Macau), S.A. ("Melco PBL"). Except for SJM, the other concessionaires and sub-concessionaires all needed time to construct their casinos and other related facilities when the concession winners were announced. They delayed starting their business after receiving the concessions as a result.
Competition law matters, and advertising law, as well as the impact of law on gaming, may also be pointed out as part of gaming law. Regarding online gaming, the Macau SAR does not currently grant concessions for online casinos. The current casino concessions only cover land-based gaming, not online gaming.
