Advocata urges SRI Lanka to withdraw and redraft gambling regulator bill
SRI Lanka’s Advocata Institute called for the government to withdraw and rewrite its proposed Gambling Regulatory Authority bill, published in May. The think tank argued that the draft gives the regulator insufficient independence and powers, including over online gambling, tax collection and limits on operator numbers.
Changes to the bill could shape the proposed regulator’s authority over licensing, online gambling and tax collection.
