Description

The government just unveiled a new Gaming Bill in Parliament, aiming to clamp down on the booming gambling industry amid rising addiction and financial ruin. This follows a 2023 pledge by the Vice President, who warned that gambling’s explosion—from hotels to apps and shops—has turned into a devastating social crisis. The bill, backed by religious groups and led by the Attorney General, proposes stricter rules and higher taxes to deter excessive gambling. Still pending, it’s set for committee review before becoming law.
