Economics and statistics

Nauru is an ultra-small island economy with a limited private sector and high dependence on external revenues (help from partners, fees for fishing licenses, services of state-owned companies).

The historical base is phosphates, but their role has declined; the budget is sensitive to fluctuations in world prices and catch volumes in the EEZ.

The population is about 10-15 thousand, the consumption market is microscopic.

The tourist flow is small, so gambling is not formed: there are no land casinos, local licenses for online operators too.

The gaming industry's fiscal contribution is zero/negligible; government priorities - basic infrastructure, employment and financial sustainability, and protecting consumers from the risks of offshore sites.
