Laws and regulation

Kiribati's gambling policy is conservative.

The state allows only narrow formats - lotteries and charity draws for individual permits with reporting on circulations and targeted use of funds.

There are no classic land casinos and betting points; advertising of gambling services is limited.

There is no special national licensing regime for online casinos, so local. "Ki" sites do not work, and the use of foreign sites carries legal and payment risks.

For organizers, there are requirements for KYC/AML, age verification (18 +), responsible play and informing, for violations - fines and revocation of permits.

In any project, it is critical to obtain written approvals and build compliance taking into account the priority of public interests.
