Games and slots

Palau has no classic gaming halls and no licensed slots, as the basic law prohibits gambling.

However, in recent years, the government has begun testing limited digital formats, in particular virtual pachinko and internet lotteries, implemented through concessions under the control of the Ministry of Finance.

These products are developed taking into account the requirements for KYC, AML and responsible play.

Residents interested in slots often turn to foreign online platforms, but such sites operate outside the legal field of Palau and carry payment and data protection risks.

The domestic market remains minimal, and development prospects depend on how successfully digital concessions can combine entertainment interest in compliance with national restrictions.
