SRI Lanka Cabinet advances gambling authority bill to Gazette
SRI Lanka’s Cabinet approved publication of the Gambling Sports Regularization Act in the Government Gazette on 21 April, according to the report. The proposed law would establish a Gambling Regulatory Authority to oversee online gambling and floating, offshore and land-based casinos. Parliament must approve the Act before it becomes law; President Anura Kumara Dissanayake proposed it.
The bill would create a dedicated authority overseeing gambling activities, including casinos and online gambling, if Parliament approves it.
