Inside Asian Gaming

IAG SEP 2020年9月 亞博匯 54 agreement with local junket Ama International Limited that saw Ama agree to supply VIP business exclusively to Crown Macau in return for a 1.35% commission. There had been talk of operators paying commissions as high as 1.50% due to fierce competition in the sector, forcing operators to take a hefty hit to their margins if they wanted to attract any VIP business to their properties at all. Today, a 1.25% commission paid to junket operators on rolling has become standard practice. In Part 2 of our deep dive into junkets, which will feature in the October edition of Inside Asian Gaming , we’ll explain how standard gaming promotion agreements between junkets and operators work. We’ll also look at Macau's “ Big 3 ” junkets including detailed lists of their current VIP Clubs, and explain how many of these larger junkets have transformed themselves in recent years at a time when the VIP industry faces growing consolidation. IN FOCUS 博彩中介人。《反洗錢法》規定了對客戶的盡職審查義務、加強監 管有政治傾向人士的活動、查明及舉報可疑交易義務、在未提供 強制性資料時拒絕進行交易的義務，以及各種記錄保存義務。 2009年9月又通過另一部與中介人相關的法律，該法特別保 護了營運商的利益，規定了支付給博彩中介人的佣金上限不得高 於投注總額的1.25%。 該第27/2009號行政法規是回應此前MelcoPBLEntertainment (Macau) Limited公司（新濠博亞娛樂與澳洲皇冠的合資企業）宣佈， 與澳門博彩中介人Ama International Limited之間簽署博彩推廣協 議，Ama同意為澳門皇冠提供獨家貴賓博彩業務，並收取1.35％的 佣金。此前有傳言稱，由於該行業競爭激烈，營運商支付的佣金高達 1.50％。如果運營商想要吸引任何貴賓博彩業務進入其物業，就不 得不降低利潤率。 如今，向博彩中介人支付1.25％佣金已成為慣例 。 在深入研究博彩中介人的第二部分（將於10月《亞博匯》內刊 登），我們將解釋博彩中介人與營運商之間的標準博彩推廣協議 是如何運作的。我們還將關注澳門的「三大」博彩中介人，包括其 貴賓會的詳細情況，以及在貴賓博彩行業面臨日益加劇的整合時 期，這些大型博彩中介公司中有多少已經轉型。
