In Macau, the DICJ issued Minimum Internal Control Requirements (MICR) in 2005 for the six Macau concessionaries. However cashless gaming was specifically excluded from the scope of the MICR, as the intention was to oblige concessionaries to undertake their own risk assessments in this area of operation and submit their proposed internal controls for the DICJ’s review. The assessment and mitigation measures for the implementation of cashless gaming technology is therefore conducted by the concessionaries in Macau. A similar approach is taken by a number of regulators in other jurisdictions, including Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. Casino licensees are required to conduct risk assessments and propose internal controls when seeking to deploy new technology. In May, the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority announced agreements with IR operators Crown and Star Entertainment Group to implement cashless card technology linked to individuals’ identities and recognized financial institutions. As highlighted above, cashless gaming systems capture player data for identification and activity tracking and, therefore, must strictly conform with data protection laws and data privacy regulators’ guidance. Privacy compliance certification is becoming an increasingly popular route for technology vendors to demonstrate to regulators and customers alike the embedded privacy-compliant safeguards in their systems and product design. 和星億集團達成協議,以實施與個人身份和認可的 金融機構相關的無現金卡片技術。 如上所述,無現金博彩系統利用玩家數據進行 識別和活動追蹤,因此必須嚴格遵守數據保護法和 數據隱私監管機構的指引。對於技術供應商,隱私合 規性認證越來越流行,以向監管機構和客戶展示其 系統和產品設計的隱私保護措施符合規定。 提高接受性的教育 監管機構對新科技的看法正迅速演變,特別是 疫情加速了相關發展。內華達州博彩控制委員會已 分別批准ACS PlayOn和IGT的無現金投注系統,讓資 金可轉移至安全的電子錢包,促成減少接觸、無現金 博彩。其他製造商,如Boyd Gaming與盛世·貴族的 合作,都正在測試階段,尚待監管部門批准。 這些成功的例子可為其他司法管轄區的監管 機構提供重要參考,因這些監管機構正著手檢視無 現金博彩技術,以便在相關地區引入。在許多情況 下,可以通過傳揚推廣有關電子系統的社會和政策 利益,以獲監管機構的支持。為此,美國博彩協會於 2020年6月發布《支付現代化政策原則》,教育各州和 部落監管機構落實靈活的監管框架,從而允許在娛 樂場中實施電子支付。 無現金的數字化未來 從實踐和政策層面上,新的無現金支付系統都 帶有優勢,為近期引入有關系統提供有力的論述。IR 行業或需自行承擔引入新技術的責任,這顯然地促 進實現打擊問題賭博和反洗黑錢的目標。此外,從客 戶的角度而言,數字化是必要的,以證明IR行業能吸 引熱衷科技的年輕一代,因為新一代沈醉於數字化 形式的娛樂。 在IR行業利用正確的工具和資源以吸引未來的 目標客群上,無現金博彩技術將發揮關鍵作用 。 ALL-IN DIGITAL
