The Office claimed that <em>\u201cillegal gambling websites frequently pose as those of Macau\u2019s gaming operators, undermining both the safety of public property and the industry\u2019s reputation in the gaming sector.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To address this issue, Macau\u2019s Judiciary Police have been working closely with the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau. Their joint efforts aim to dismantle sites misrepresenting Macau\u2019s casino brands. Since 2022, a collaborative action mechanism involving the city\u2019s casino operators has been in place to address these fraudulent sites. However, the report does not specify which casino brands were misused.<\/p>\n<h2>Operation \u201cBreak Peak\u201d and Legislative Changes<\/h2>\n<p>Authorities carried out a big operation called \u201cBreak Peak\u201d in June. This operation targeted a cross-border syndicate engaged in illicit online gambling, working with authorities from Guangdong province and Hong Kong. With operations in Macau, Hong Kong, and mainland China, the syndicate was connected to illicit proceeds worth over MOP1 billion, or US$124.6 million.<\/p>\n<p>To further combat unlawful online gaming, the Macau government is also contemplating legislative amendments. The proposed measure, which is now being discussed in the Legislative Assembly, calls for jail terms of one to eight years for anybody convicted of running or encouraging illicit online gaming or mutual betting in Macau.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
