Enforcement: How hard does the regulator enforce?

DICJ disclosed, via a written legislative reply, 22 administrative infraction proceedings opened against concessionaires since the 2022 gaming law, of which 5 resulted in sanctions and 10 were closed for insufficient evidence — a probable finding sourced through secondary trade press citing the legislative reply, with no primary DICJ bulletin reached this pass. The Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) confirmedly admonished DICJ for attempting a duplicate administrative fine on the same "nuisance at a casino" violation, following a complaint over fine-procedure duplication between DICJ and the Financial Services Bureau (DSF). DICJ also convened coordination meetings, confirmed, with all six concessionaires' security, HR, operations and PR department heads to address livestreamed proxy-betting via hidden mobile phones, pledging cooperation with the Judiciary Police. Separately, Judiciary Police reported cracking around 250 illegal money-exchange cases and 322 arrests tied to casino-adjacent currency exchange in H1 2026 (probable), even as the Secretary for Security described proxy-betting cases as largely isolated. These findings sit against the durable concession-exclusivity foundation of the Gaming Law, under which unlicensed operation is a criminal offence.
