Profile sources and reference books converge: in St. Lucia, online gambling is not regulated as a separate market, so local licenses for online casinos are not issued.
Players use foreign platforms that accept customers from the island (often with a disclaimer of their own responsibility). The basic standard is Gaming, Racing and Betting Act with by-law rules (Control/Equipment/Accounting), which establish the regulator and procedures for the ground segment, but do not create an independent licensing scheme for iGaming. Against the background of the closure of the only Treasure Bay casino (it was reported that it was closed in 2020), online activity went even more into the offshore circuit. Additional 2024-2025 reviews also list St. Lucia as jurisdictions with an unregulated online marketplace.
