Online bingo is legal in Grenada and is regulated by the Grenada Gaming Control Board under the Gaming Act 2016 (1). Bingo falls under the category of "games of chance" and is specifically mentioned as a permitted gambling activity in Grenada. The Gaming Commission, established through the Gaming Legislation that came into force in 2017, is responsible for issuing licenses, conducting inspections, and ensuring that all online bingo operators comply with local gambling regulations (2).
Operators wishing to offer online bingo in Grenada must obtain a license from the Gaming Commission and comply with strict regulatory requirements (1). The licensing process includes submitting applications, obtaining permission to operate from the Gaming Commission, and paying appropriate licensing fees. Online bingo operators are subject to a gaming tax of 30 percent of gross receipts under the Gaming Tax Act 2016, and taxes are due monthly (1). All players must be at least 18 years of age to participate in any form of gambling including online bingo (2).
"In 2016, Grenada approved the Gambling Legislation which became enforced in 2017. The law allows for the establishment of a Gaming Commission whose task is to inspect and license all places with gaming facilities as well as issue licenses to those who are engaging in 'game of chance' events."
Grenada has established a comprehensive regulatory framework to ensure fair play and player protection in the online bingo sector (1). The Gaming Commission is responsible for approving locations, conducting continuous inspections, and maintaining records of all licensed operators. The country imposes penalties on unlicensed gambling operators, and the 2022 Casino Gaming Amendment Bill increased fines for unlicensed activities and allowed for license revocation in cases of fraud or dishonesty. This strong regulatory approach positions Grenada as having a well-controlled and transparent online gambling environment.
