Commission Structure (Junket)
Junket OperationsREPORTED
The arrangement governing how junket operators are compensated by casinos for bringing VIP players. Two primary models existed: (1) Rolling chip-based commission: A fixed percentage of total rolling chip turnover, capped at 1.25% in Macau, providing stable income regardless of win/loss outcomes; and (2) Revenue-based (net win) commission: A percentage of the casino’s actual win from junket-referred play, agreed with each concessionaire. Most Macau operators shifted to revenue-based commissions to share win-rate volatility with junkets.
In practice
Under post-2022 Macau law, only a turnover-based commission, capped at 1.25% of rolling-chip turnover, remains permissible; revenue-sharing between junkets and concessionaires is prohibited.
