            The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (“DICJ”) has always maintained close communications and cooperation with the Judiciary Police to fight against illegal activities such as illegal gambling websites that accept bets under the name of the DICJ illicitly. In response to the rising number of public inquiries on issues related to illegal gambling websites, the DICJ made the following clarification:

1. The only official website of the DICJ is www.dicj.gov.mo.

2. So far, the Macau Government has never issued any online interactive gaming license to any companies. Hence, all online interactive gambling websites in Macau are considered illegal operations.

3. The function of the DICJ is to monitor and supervise the various gambling activities. As such, the Bureau will not encourage, promote or operate any form of gambling activities.

4. Any unauthorized use of DICJ official website information and photos for promotional purposes without obtaining prior consent is an offense. The DICJ will not tolerate such illegal acts and will reserve the rights to pursue the matter through legal channel.
