Sri Lanka Gambling Regulatory Authority begins operations on 1 December
Sri Lanka’s Gambling Regulatory Authority is due to begin operations on 1 December, overseeing ship-based, land-based and online gambling except lotteries and social games. The regulator will handle licensing, taxation and revenue collection; officials said the focus is regulation rather than rapid industry expansion or additional licences.
Operators across covered gambling sectors will face a new authority responsible for licensing and oversight.
