Economics and statistics

Bhutan does not receive fiscal revenues from casinos, BC and gaming halls: there are no licenses, therefore there are no GGR, licensing fees and specialized employment.

Official gambling statistics are reduced to law enforcement indicators (raids, equipment seizures, fines) and addiction prevention programs.

The country's tourism strategy - "high value at low flow" - deliberately excludes casinos as a demand driver: the emphasis is on ecotourism, trekking and cultural festivals.

Possible cash flows associated with the offshore online market are not taken into account in GDP and carry the risks of outflows of funds abroad.

Only narrow formats of charity draws/lotteries under state supervision remain legal, their contribution is symbolic.

The overall conclusion: the gambling sector in Bhutan is economically insignificant, and the state's priorities are social stability and consumer protection.
