Lithuanian government approves gambling reforms for parliamentary review
Lithuania’s government approved amendments to gambling and anti-money-laundering laws, the report said. The proposals would require player cards, phase out cash payments at gambling venues and expand the gambling authority’s powers; the Seimas must approve them before they take effect. Some oversight and administrative changes are scheduled to begin on 1 May 2027.
Operators may need to prepare for player identification, cash-payment restrictions and expanded regulatory oversight if parliament approves the proposals.
