Online casino gambling in Grenada operates in a complex legal environment where land-based casino gaming has been legalized since 2014, but online casino operations remain largely unregulated (1). The Casino Gaming Act of 2014 serves as the primary legislation governing gambling activities in the country, though it primarily focuses on land-based casino operations rather than online platforms (2). Under current law, casino operations are restricted to hotels with at least 300 rooms that are approved by the Grenada Tourism Authority or the Minister of Finance.
The Gaming Commission, established through the Gaming Commission Bill of 2016, serves as the primary regulatory body responsible for licensing and supervising gambling activities in Grenada (1). This commission operates separately from the Casino Commission and has the authority to inspect gaming facilities, issue licenses for games of chance, and ensure compliance with local gambling laws. The commission also maintains a public register of licenses and imposes strict age restrictions, prohibiting anyone under 18 from participating in gambling activities.
"The law allows for the establishment of a Gaming Commission whose task is to inspect and license all places with gaming facilities as well as issue licenses to those who are engaging in 'game of chance' events."
While land-based gambling is regulated, online casino gambling remains in a legal gray area as there are currently no specific regulations governing internet-based casino operations within Grenada's jurisdiction (1)(2). Foreign online casino sites can be accessed by residents without government interference, but these operators are not licensed under Grenadian law. The government has implemented various gaming taxes, including a 30% tax on gross receipts for most gambling activities, though this primarily applies to licensed land-based operations rather than online platforms.
