The basis of regulation is Gaming (Control) Act, 2021, which established the Gaming Commission and a license/supervision system for gambling activities at the federation level. Historically, the industry was regulated by the Betting and Gaming (Control) Act, 1999 (including regulations on "internet gaming"), but today's practice relies on the 2021 frame. In 2025, a package was adopted to launch the National Lotteries Authority (NLA) and amendments to the Gaming (Control) Act, allowing the Commission to issue a multi-year NLA license (instead of an annual renewal, like private operators). In parallel, Nevis Island adopted Nevis Online Gaming Ordinance/Regulations 2025 and created the Nevis Online Gaming Authority (NOGA) as the licensing authority for online games (B2C/B2B) on the island. As a result: lotteries are conducted under NLA in a nationwide framework, ground and other formats are controlled by the Gaming Commission, and for online operators in Nevis there is a separate NOGA mode.
