Online gambling, including online bingo, is illegal in Guam under Title 9, Chapter 64 of the Guam Code (1). Guam prohibits all forms of gambling except for specific types of gaming activities such as non-profit bingo, raffles, and social gambling that are conducted by licensed tax-exempt organizations. Online gambling and casino gaming operations are strictly prohibited and not permitted under any circumstances (1).
Bingo in Guam can only be operated by non-profit tax-exempt organizations that have obtained proper licensing from the Department of Revenue and Taxation (2). However, these licenses apply exclusively to land-based bingo operations for charitable fundraising purposes, not to online bingo platforms. Online gambling of any kind, including online bingo, subjects participants to legal repercussions and penalties under Guam law (2). The legal age for participating in permitted gaming activities in Guam is 21 years old, but this does not extend to online gaming.
"Online gambling is illegal in Guam, and participating in such activities can result in legal repercussions. It is important to be aware of the laws regarding online gaming to avoid potential penalties."
Guam maintains strict enforcement of its gambling prohibition laws, particularly regarding online gaming activities (1). Operating illegal gambling activities in Guam can result in significant criminal penalties including fines, imprisonment, and seizure of assets. The Department of Revenue and Taxation regulates all permitted gaming activities and monitors compliance with gaming laws. Residents who participate in unlicensed online bingo or other online gambling face potential prosecution under Guam law. The territory's strict regulatory approach reflects its commitment to preventing illegal gambling and protecting residents from unregulated gaming operations.
