SRI Lanka launches Gambling Regulatory Authority as operations begin
SRI Lanka’s Gambling Regulatory Authority began operating on 1 December 2025, following the passage of the law establishing it. The authority is intended to bring gambling laws under one framework and determine permitted activities, restrictions and licence revocations, Deputy Minister of Economic Development Anil Jayantha Fernando said.
