Timor-Leste suspends online gambling licensing system
Timor-Leste suspended its online gambling licensing system and plans to strengthen regulation before reopening it. The Isle of Man’s Gambling Supervision Commission is monitoring the developments; it had added a person mentioned in connection with gambling operations and stolen-data scams to its prohibited list. The Isle of Man raised its online gambling terrorism-financing risk rating to medium in July 2025.
The suspension and the Isle of Man’s risk assessment may inform regulatory oversight of gambling-related financial crime.
