Part III: Business & Regulation · Gaming Regulation & Compliance

Third-Party Exclusion

Responsible Gaming

Exclusion initiated by a family member. In Macau a spouse, ascendant, descendant or second-degree collateral relative may apply, but the interdiction has no effect unless the person concerned confirms it (Law 10/2012, Art. 6(1)). There is no unilateral family exclusion in Macau.

In practice

A frequent error in English-language accounts, which often describe Macau as allowing unilateral family exclusion.

One entry from the Casino Industry Glossary — 1,157 terms written for surveillance, compliance and operations professionals rather than for players. Definitions describe industry usage; where a term carries a regulatory meaning, verify against the instrument that governs your jurisdiction.
