Since 15 September 2026, offering online gambling from Trinidad and Tobago to people abroad has been a crime[3]. Parliament then approved an order that lifts the ban for holders of a remote gambling licence[2]. No such licence can be issued yet, because the part of the law that creates licences is not in force.
Here is the answer by product:
- Online casino — not assessed. No licence can be issued, and no law in force names online play.
- Online poker — the same as online casino.
- Sports betting — licensed, in betting offices under the 1963 Act. There is no online betting licence.
- Land-based gaming — allowed in members' clubs that hold a gambling certificate, and on amusement machines in licensed bars[4].
- Lottery — a state monopoly of the National Lotteries Control Board[6].
Map status
Scored on online casino, and for now the honest answer is not assessed. Trinidad and Tobago has written an online licence into law, but nobody can hold one yet.
The Gambling (Gaming and Betting) Control Act, 2021 sets up a Commission and a licensing regime. Only its opening Parts and the Part creating the Commission came into force, in August 2021[3]. The licensing Part did not.
The answer depends on who is asking:
- An operator based in Trinidad and Tobago has committed a crime since 15 September 2026 if it offers remote gambling to people abroad[1]. An order approved by Parliament in October 2026 lifts that ban for holders of a remote gambling licence[2]. No such licence can be issued yet.
- A player in Trinidad and Tobago finds no law in force that licenses an online casino, and none that names one. The 1963 gambling Act bans gaming houses and never mentions the internet[4]. We found no decision applying it to a website.
That is why the map shows grey rather than green or red. A Bill passed by both Houses in October 2026 would make remote gambling without a licence an offence[8]. If it comes into force, this answer will change.
Online poker sits in the same place. Betting offices, gaming in members' clubs and machines in bars are lawful under older laws[4][7]. The national lottery belongs to the state[6].
The detail, section by section
The 2021 Act was meant to bring gaming and betting under one Commission and one set of licences. Only 3 of its 11 Parts, with its first Schedule, came into force on 11 August 2021[3]. They set up the Commission, and its first Board was appointed in March 2022[10].
The licensing Part was left out. Without it, the Commission cannot issue a licence of any kind.
On 15 September 2026 one more section came into force: section 76[3]. It makes it a crime to use equipment in Trinidad and Tobago to invite people in any other country to gamble remotely[1]. The penalty is TT$5 million and 7 years on summary conviction, or TT$10 million and 10 years on indictment[1].
The same day, the Minister of Finance made an order lifting that ban for anyone holding a valid remote gambling licence[2]. The House approved it on 30 September and the Senate on 2 October 2026.
Read together, the two say this. Remote gambling from Trinidad and Tobago needs a licence, and that licence cannot yet be issued.
There is no register of online licences, because there are no online licences. We found no domain check, no list of blocked sites, no self-exclusion scheme and no gambling complaints body.
The nearest thing to a list of operators is the Financial Intelligence Unit's list of registrants. It is a money-laundering register, not a licence. On the list as at 30 June 2026, 78 entries are private members' clubs and 7 are pool betting businesses[9]. The list warns that some businesses that applied may be missing.
The Gambling and Betting Act of 1963 bans gaming houses[4]. It exempts private homes and 2 kinds of business. One is a members' club permitted to carry on gambling. The other is a bar or other licensed premises allowed to host amusement games[4].
A club's permission is a certificate granted under the Registration of Clubs Act[7]. When the Commission's Board was appointed, the government said the aim was to deal with the spread of private members' clubs offering casino-style games[10].
Betting follows the same 1963 Act. Bets are taken in licensed betting offices, which pay for their licences. Placing a bet with an unlicensed bookmaker is itself an offence, with a fine of TT$5,000 and 3 months in prison[4].
Advertising a lottery is a crime in Trinidad and Tobago, wherever the lottery is run. The 1963 Act punishes anyone who prints, publishes or distributes an advertisement for a lottery promoted in Trinidad and Tobago or elsewhere[4].
Since December 2025 the penalty is TT$250,000 and 3 years on summary conviction, or TT$3 million and 7 years on indictment[5].
The same Act punishes anyone who announces a gaming house or invites people to play in one[4]. The fine is TT$1,500 or 12 months in prison.
Neither rule mentions websites, and we found no case applying either to online advertising. The lottery rule is written about the advertisement itself, so on its face it reaches a publisher promoting a foreign lottery. Nothing we found deals with advertising an online casino or a sportsbook.
Promoting an unlicensed operator is an offence
The rule applies whether the operator is based here or abroad.
Section 19, as amended by the Finance Act, 2025: TT$250,000 and 3 years on summary conviction, or TT$3 million and 7 years on indictment. Section 4: TT$1,500 or 12 months.
- Curaçao licenses online casino, sports betting, poker, lottery and land-based gambling. Promotion is licensable there, and the rule does not reach publishers abroad.
- Panama licenses online casino and keeps its lottery a state monopoly. Promoting gambling there is an offence that reaches operators abroad.
- Puerto Rico prohibits online casino and online poker, but licenses sports betting. Its lottery is a state monopoly, as in Trinidad and Tobago.
Trinidad and Tobago has approved licensing remote gambling in principle. It has not yet built the licence.
- No website can hold a Trinidad and Tobago online gambling licence today. If a site claims one, ask which law issued it.
- Betting with an unlicensed bookmaker can be an offence for you, not only for the bookmaker[4].
- To check a club or a betting business, search the Financial Intelligence Unit's list[9]. Being on it means money-laundering registration, not a licence.
- Watch the Bill passed in October 2026. It would make remote gambling without a licence an offence, and keep under-25s away from bar gaming machines[8]. It takes effect only when proclaimed.
Gambling (Gaming and Betting) Control Commission - the body corporate established by section 5 of the Gambling (Gaming and Betting) Control Act, 2021, in force since 11 August 2021, with its first Board appointed in March 2022. The licensing Part of the Act is not in force, so it licenses nothing yet. Betting offices are licensed by the Board of Inland Revenue and the Betting Levy Board under the Gambling and Betting Act, club gaming certificates come from Licensing Committees under the Registration of Clubs Act, and the national lottery is run by the National Lotteries Control Board.
