Fenabanca accuses Dominican authorities of weak gambling-sector oversight
The Dominican National Federation of Lottery Banks (Fenabanca) said inadequate controls had enabled irregularities in the country’s gambling sector and criticised the authorities’ response. It cited unregulated expansion of betting outlets, illegal sales through prohibited mobile devices and unfair competition, and alleged political influence and possible links between public officials and powerful economic groups.
Fenabanca’s claims put pressure on the Ministry of Finance, which the federation says is responsible for regulating and supervising gambling.
