Ireland Gambling Authority
The gambling authority is a body corporate established in 2012 to oversee Gambling, and regulate and control the development of gambling establishments in Botswana. Gambling was subject to regulation in 2006 after the appearance of online casinos. Casino operators pay just 1% on their total gaming revenue. The first Lotto Act in Malta dates all the way back to 1922. Gambling is now regulated by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority who issue licenses to land-based and online casinos.
