Gambling Supervision Commission
The Gambling Supervision Commission is a body corporate established in 1962.
In addition to the licensing and regulation of land-based gambling operations (casino, amusement and slot machines, betting offices and lotteries), the Commission also regulates all online gambling activities, which have grown significantly in recent years.
The core principles the Commission upholds are :-
- To keep the gambling industry crime free.
- To protect the young and those at risk.
- To ensure that the services offered by licence holders are fair and that players receive their true winnings.
The Treasury devotes resources to the Commission which is made up of a Director, a Policy Officer, five Gaming Inspectors and two Secretaries, who jointly have over 60 years’ experience in the licensing, regulation and operational aspects of gambling.
The Department of Trade and Industry is in charge of developing the island as a progressive jurisdiction for e-gambling and they interface with other departments of Government in promoting the island’s e-commerce opportunities.
