On a 3-5 year horizon, Barbados is likely to maintain a "low-risk" configuration: lottery, licensed machines and horse racing wagering will remain the core, as the acts in force (Cap. 60; Cap. 134; Cap. 134A) do not provide for classic casinos and focus on fees/registration of betting and lotteries. The growth point is the gradual digitalization of horse racing bets (for example, BTCBets at the Barbados Turf Club), which expands access without radical liberalization. At the same time, the legislation does not contain a separate licensing regime for online casinos, so discussions about the regulation of iGaming remain a potential scenario, and not an announced reform.
