The future of the industry

The closest trajectory is evolutionary.

Gaming, Racing and Betting Act with Gaming Authority powers; it regulates the ground segment and horse racing, but does not introduce an independent mode for online casinos, so the iGaming market remains outside of local licensing. Leading drivers are the development of the Royal Saint Lucia Turf Club (sweepstakes/parimatch format and active club media news) and the gradual digitalization of services around running. Against the background of the closure of Treasure Bay and the absence of new large casinos, the offline circuit remains compact, which pushes players to offshore online platforms - another argument in favor of spot edits, rather than quick "online liberalization." In total, the most likely scenario for 2-4 years: lottery + horse racing as a fiscal support and moderate changes in the rules (control, accounting, technologies) without launching a full-fledged national licensing of Internet casinos.
