Macau’s gaming regulator said it has received a total of 75 applications to renew junket licences for 2022 and 29 of the requests are still being processed due to incomplete paperwork.
The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) clarified the position on the local junkets a day after publishing the official list of approved operators.
That list showed that the total number of gaming promoters operating in Macau had shrunk by about half since last January to just 46 this year.
The DICJ explained that some applications are pending as they have not yet submitted all the required paperwork, in particular when it comes to a letter of recommendation from an operator with whom they intend to collaborate.
