Overview

The Junket Due Diligence Framework is the most comprehensive resource available for casino operators conducting due diligence on junket operator partnerships. At 147 pages with a 110-item interactive Excel checklist, this framework provides the structure, methodology, and documentation tools required for thorough junket vetting under Macau's Law 16/2022 regulatory environment.

Due diligence on junket operators presents unique challenges: operators are typically privately held, based in multiple jurisdictions, and subject to limited regulatory disclosure. This framework addresses these challenges with a multi-source verification methodology that combines document review, reference checking, regulatory confirmation, on-site assessment, and ongoing monitoring into a coherent due diligence process.

The framework covers all aspects of junket operator evaluation: corporate structure and beneficial ownership, financial health and capital adequacy, regulatory history and licensing status, operational capability and management quality, AML programme maturity, player base characteristics, and risk profile assessment. Each area includes specific verification procedures, document requirements, and red flag indicators.

Frequently asked

How long does a full due diligence take using this framework?
A comprehensive initial due diligence typically requires 4-6 weeks, depending on junket operator cooperation and jurisdictional complexity. The framework includes procedures for accelerated due diligence on low-risk relationships and enhanced procedures for high-risk or complex cases.
Can this framework be used for existing junket relationships?
Yes. The framework includes specific procedures for ongoing due diligence and periodic reassessment of existing relationships, not just initial onboarding.
Does the framework cover non-Macau junkets?
While structured for Macau Law 16/2022, the framework methodology applies to junket evaluation in any jurisdiction. Adjust regulatory references for local requirements.
Is legal review required?
We recommend review by qualified gaming lawyers before implementation, particularly for the risk scoring methodology and approval authority matrix.
