The future of the industry

Brunei will maintain a complete ban on gambling and focus on technological strengthening of the regime: proactive blocking of domains and applications, data exchange with payment services and telecom operators, integration of eKYC/AML and transaction analytics against offshore and crypto schemes.

We expect the priority of education and harm prevention (campaigns in schools/social networks), as well as responsibility for advertising and mediation.

Tourism and event policy will develop without casinos - through family, cultural and natural tourism.

Key risks - offshore demand migration and online fraud; the answer is interagency coordination, international cooperation and tougher sanctions while maintaining sharia norms.
