Summary
The Dominican Republic's Chamber of Deputies approved a gambling bill proposing a 10-year halt to new venue licences after operator registration concludes. Casinos in hotels and tourist locations would qualify for an exception. Existing operators would need to complete regularisation, while licence renewals would depend on compliance and technical assessment.
Why it matters
Prospective operators face a proposed licensing freeze, while existing operators would need regularisation and compliance-based renewal assessments.
