Macau’s Judiciary Police recently cracked a fraud case involving gaming concessionaires, where four suspects utilized falsified bank account details to defraud two concessionaires of over HK$17.4 million (US$2.3 million) in “non-negotiable chips”.
According to case details released by the Judiciary Police, the four arrested individuals comprise three Hong Kong residents (two males and one female) and one local Macau male. The suspects allegedly applied for gambling loans from four concessionaires in early October 2025, using forged electronic bank account balance documents – including a counterfeit HK$48 million balance statement from a Hong Kong bank -for gambling purposes.
Two of the concessionaires declined to grant the loans, while the other two approved them. After obtaining the loans, the suspects withdrew the “non-negotiable chips” in multiple instalments and removed them from the casinos.
