Dominican Senate approves gambling bill with 10-year moratorium on new venues
The Dominican Republic’s Senate approved a bill to regulate gambling, and lottery retailers’ federation Fenabanca publicly backed the proposal. It would impose a 10-year moratorium on authorising new gambling venues after promulgation and establish a new gambling oversight authority; the report says the bill still awaits action by the executive.
If enacted, the proposed moratorium would restrict new gambling venue authorisations for a decade.
