Gambling legislation news

Read news covering updates and developments coming out of the newsrooms and press releases by casino licensing regulators and governments. This is an important section in our casino news area because casino legislation is always changing. New rules creating safer online casino gambling are continuously being introduced around the world.

We pay particular attention to countries such as the UK, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and India. That said, we also compare regulations with other regions such as Asia, the USA, and South America, with the US gambling market currently a hot topic, and it is sure to continue to hit the headlines as this market grows rapidly!

On top of this, you will find news about rules regarding who pays taxes on casino revenues as well as which countries, regions, states, and/or casinos are paying the most tax. This style of news reporting gives you knowledge about which regions you need to pay tax on your casino winnings and how much, which is useful if you are visiting or live in the area affected by gambling taxation rules.

Another interesting set of news reports we deliver in this section covers news directly from the licensing authorities themselves. In particular, the UK Gaming Commission (UKGC), Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), Curacao eGaming board, and Canadian authorities in Manitoba, Quebec, and British Colombia. Reports cover fines issued to casinos for not following the rules, new legislation changes, licenses suspended or revoked as well as the reasons for any licensing changes, plus occasionally we write about gambling statistics reports issued by these licensing authorities.

Via our ‘News Gambling Legislation’ page, our goal is to shed light on these especially important topics and to bring you clarity. Here you will find all relevant topics are carefully researched and, above all, prepared in easy to digest and uncomplex news reports so you can quickly absorb information relevant to you!
