Secretary for Economy and Finance Lionel Leong Vai Tac said yesterday that the junket sector’s plan to set up a centralised gambling credit database has to comply with the Personal Data Protection Law.
Leong made the comments while speaking to reporters at the Macau Chamber of Commerce in Zape where he attended a National Day reception.
The government’s mid-term evaluation report about the gaming sector’s performance, released in May, points out that the lack of a centralised gambling credit database to minimise junket operators’ credit risks has led junkets having to provide loans to gamblers with limited information and based on arbitrary experience.
