Timor-Leste cancels all online gambling licences and halts pending applications
Timor-Leste’s cabinet voided all existing online gambling and betting licences and halted pending applications through a resolution that also authorises ministers to enforce a complete ban. The source links the decision to security concerns following warnings about criminal activity in Oecussi, where 10 people were arrested for illegal gambling and computer fraud.
Operators with Timor-Leste licences face cancellation, while applicants cannot proceed under the resolution.
