Inside Asian Gaming
IAG MAR 2021年3月 亞博匯 50 COLUMNISTS As the executive director of the World Health Organization, Michael Joseph Ryan, recently said, “This [pandemic] is not necessarily the big one … We need to get ready for something that may be even more severe in the future.” This message should serve as a wake-up call to our authorities. Do not take things for granted – an 85% year-on-year decline in the number of tourists should serve the purpose! Twenty years of inaction is already enough. It is time to roll our sleeves up, get all the help possible (stakeholders, legislators, professional services sector) and bring this idea to life. Diversification within gaming is still diversification, and tax revenue generated through online gaming still enters the same public coffers as does brick-and- mortar GGR. The time is now! The World Health Organization recently warned that another global pandemic could arrive at any time. 世界衛生組織最近警告說,另一場全球大流行病可能隨時到來。 進行審核的。營運商必須擁有良好的信譽,並具備技術、經濟和財 務能力。其必須提交業務/平台的結構計劃,公司需要滿足包括業 務範圍的專有排他性及最低股本等要求。此外,他們的博彩技術 系統的認證及官方批准也將是至關重要的。 從監管的角度來看,將需要為網絡博彩的營運和和許可要求 搭建新的法律框架,同時為網絡博彩技術系統的要求制定及實施 相關的指引及/或法規。諸如廣告規範等其他方面也應作考慮。 正如世界衛生組織執行主任MichaelJosephRyan近期所言: 「這次全球疫情未必是最糟的情況……我們需要為將來可能發 生的更嚴重事件做好準備。」 這句話應該給我們的政府當局敲響警鐘。不要認為甚麼都是 理所當然的——遊客數量按年減少85%已經是警鐘長鳴。二十年 來的不作為已經夠了。現在是時候捲起袖子,爭取所有可能的(包 括持份者、立法者、專業服務部門)的支援,將這個想法付諸實施。 博彩領域內的多元化仍然是多元化。通過網絡博彩產生的稅 收仍將和實體博彩收入一樣進入公共庫房。現在,時不我待!
