Economics and statistics

The Bahamian model relies on resort casinos for non-residents and the internal segment of web-shops under the supervision of the Gaming Board, enshrined in Gaming Act 2014 and Gaming Regulations 2014. These acts determine the licenses, control and reporting of operators. The tax burden on web-shops since 2019 has been set on a sliding scale (20% to B $20 million in revenue, 25% - B $20-40 million and further in steps), which has become a key source of internal revenues from the interactive segment. For casino resorts, rates with GGR (15-17.5%) are used, discussed on the public agenda and compared with the web-shops mode. From the official budget reports it can be seen that gaming payments are part of tax revenues and demonstrate an increase (for example, in mid-2025 there was an increase in fees under the gaming tax item). In total, the sector supports employment and tourism (casinos of large resorts), and also provides a stable flow of taxes through licensed interactive "gaming houses."
