Our Licensees

The Gaming Board for The Bahamas ("the Board") was established in August 1969 under the Lotteries and Gaming Act, 1969. In November 2014, the Board underwent a major transformation when the Government enacted a sweeping new suite of legislation to govern gaming operations in The Bahamas: the Gaming Act 2014, the Gaming Regulations 2014, the Gaming House Operator Regulations 2014, the Gaming Rules 2015, and the Financial Transactions Reporting (Gaming) Regulations 2014.

This new legislative framework modernized the gaming regulatory regime in The Bahamas, brought an otherwise unregulated domestic gaming sector under proper oversight, expanded the range of gaming services and products available, and established a stronger, more robust licensing regime. These changes helped elevate The Bahamas to one of the world’s leading gaming jurisdictions.
