Land-based casinos

There are no legal land casinos in East Timor.

There is a general ban on organizing and participating in gambling, and attempts to open "private clubs" or playrooms are suppressed by law enforcement agencies with confiscation of equipment and fines.

Hotel and tourism projects are focused on beach, eco and cultural tourism without casinos; part of the demand goes abroad (cruises, neighboring countries with permitted gambling).

The general vector is maintaining a complete offline ban and preventing clandestine formats.
