Cayman Islands government delays lottery decision until 2027
The Cayman Islands government expects the Legal Reform Commission’s final report on a proposed national lottery in early 2027, delaying any decision on legislation. The review will continue during 2026 and examine commercial viability, regulatory models, governance and consumer safeguards; the government will consider legislation after the report and recommendations.
The delay leaves operators and suppliers without a near-term decision on a potential state lottery market.
