Macau Foresees Gaming Revenue Growth to $30 Billion by 2025

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Macau’s 2025 casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) is forecast to reach MOP240 billion ($29.9 billion), says the Office of the Chief Executive (CE), in the financial-year 2025 budget plan published on last Thursday, and which has been submitted to the city’s Legislative Assembly.

That would be a 31.1% rise on the MOP183.06 billion achieved in 2023, the first year of trading since pandemic-related restrictions were lifted. It would be an 82.1% recovery rate compared to the MOP292.46 billion in the pre-pandemic trading year of 2019, as per data of the local regulator.

The 2024 budget plan predicted MOP216 billion GGR for this year. The tally for the calendar year to the end of October is MOP190.14 billion. The 2025 budget would represent year-on-year growth of 11.1% from the forecast for 2024.

The 2025 budget plan estimates the Macau government will collect MOP84.0 billion in gaming taxes from the city’s six casino concessionaires for financial year 2025. That is calculated based only from the levy of the so-called “special gaming tax”, which stands at 35% of GGR for the current 10-year gaming concessions that started from January 1, 2023.

With other contributing levies for social causes, the effective tax on Macau casino GGR is 40% for the current concession term.

“It is estimated that the recovery momentum of the integrated tourism and leisure businesses for the next fiscal year [2025] will continue, with a continuous rise in inbound tourist volume, albeit their travel and consumption patterns may see changes,” the Office of the Chief Executive stated in its fiscal year 2025 budget plan.

“Integrated tourism and leisure businesses” is a term used by the authorities to indicate the casino resort sector.

The chief executive office added: “Considering all factors, the fiscal year 2025 gross gaming revenue is estimated to reach MOP240 billion. Such is the principal fiscal income that serves as a foundation for the Macau Special Administrative Government in formulating the fiscal year 2025 budget plan.”

Post the Covid-19 pandemic, Macau’s fiscal income had seen a “gradual recovery” since 2023, as economic improvement had been led by the integrated tourism and leisure sector, the document also mentioned.

For the whole of fiscal year 2024, the Macau government had forecast it would collect MOP75.6 billion in gaming taxes from the casino concessionaires, levied as special gaming tax, according to the 2024 budget plan.

The 2025 plan will be current Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng’s ultimate fiscal-year budget proposal before stepping down at the end of his five-year term.

Sam Hou Fai, most recently president of Macau’s Court of Final Appeal, the city’s most senior judicial position, is to succeed Mr Ho as the city’s leader, with a swearing-in ceremony to be held in December.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Boomerang Partners conducted a large-scale brand awareness survey at iGB London 2025, collecting feedback from industry decision-makers at the largest affiliate marketing and iGaming industry event. In essence, the PR team used real-time measurements of the quantitative and qualitative data in an industrial environment with the view of measuring client and customer experience. Additionally, the raw data also allowed the Boomerang team to identify strong trends that other market players may want to consider when creating a roadmap for achieving long-term objectives.

Demographic distribution of the Representative Sample

The Boomerang Partners survey involved 188 respondents from the iGaming and affiliate industries, with an average of 6 years of experience in their respective fields. The largest percentage of them are decision-makers:

  • C-level & department heads – 16%
  • Sales – 16%
  • Affiliate managers – 14%
  • Other managerial roles – 14%
  • Founders & Owners – 11%
  • CEO – 11%

The demographics of the respondents are also interesting. 49.4% of them are from the European Union, 26.7% represent the United Kingdom, and 13.6% from Asia. The share of representatives from other regions was just over 11%.

Brand visibility

The Boomerang Partners’ survey participants provided objective opinions and assessments of affiliate programs, marketing tools, and communications, which allowed the agency to form a cross-section of industry representatives’ expectations. Thus, 29% of them indicated that they learn about new partnership programs and brands at industry events (iGB was mentioned over 120 times, while SiGMA was mentioned more than 45 times). Other ways of obtaining such data include direct research (19%), social media (15%), and networking or word of mouth (15%). Interestingly, none of the sources show a significant advantage in reading industry news and analytics. This highlights the importance of diverse content distribution for increasing brand visibility.

Content types

The Boomerang Partners survey also touched on the types of content respondents found most interesting. Podcasts ranked first in popularity, with 66 respondents mentioning them. Networking, on the other hand, was the most rarely mentioned source of content, noted by only 6 survey participants.

Impact on the market

Boomerang Partners is rightly considered one of the leading brands in the affiliate marketing industry thanks to its commitment to continuous development. The agency creates marketing that responds to industry requests through various formats, creatives, and metrics. With the help of an effective symbiosis of marketing and analytics, Boomerang is not only a landmark player in the market but also shapes its trends with an emphasis on numbers. Stay tuned.
