An increase in the number of suspicious transactions in Chinese casinos

According to official information released by financial analysts in the Macau Special Administrative Region, located in southern China, there has been a sharp increase in suspicious transactions. The department received more than 650 relevant messages. A year earlier, for the same period, the first three months of the year, there were almost eight percent fewer such statements. The Financial Intelligence Bureau responded to each report and it turned out that most of the shadow movements of funds are related to the activities of the casino. The Chinese authorities continue to actively fight against illegal gambling operators. Today, the republic is preparing a new way to counter money laundering and control their movement – it is planned to introduce a “digital currency” – the electronic yuan. The operators themselves are concerned that certain limits on financial transactions may appear. Recall that in March of this year, My Lucky Story reported that the size of the gross income from gambling in Macau casinos returns positive indicators, and already in early April 2021, an increase in GGR was noted, which already amounted to almost three billion dollars.
