What was passed
Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo piloted the order through the House of Representatives on 30 September 2026. It passed with the votes of both Government and Opposition.
Current law bars anyone in Trinidad and Tobago from offering remote gambling to people in other countries, with fines of up to $10 million and up to ten years' imprisonment. The order is intended to provide the framework to permit it.
What happens next
No licensing regulator, licence process or list of licensed operators has yet been published. IRLG will add a Trinidad and Tobago page once official licences exist.
