Summary

Papua New Guinea regulates gambling under the Gaming Control Act 2007, which set up the National Gaming Control Board and repealed the older Gaming, Bookmaking and Gaming Machine Acts. The Board licenses casinos, gaming machine operators and venues, bookmakers and betting premises, and approves lotteries. The Act also lets the Board approve an "overseas lottery or gaming product including lottery and gaming by means of the internet" (section 236), subject to prescribed conditions and, for any agreement the Board makes, the Minister's approval. No regulations setting those conditions and no public register of approvals were found, so the record treats online gambling as open only through Board approval. Bookmakers may also take bets by telephone or other indirect communication. Anything not authorised is an unlawful game, and playing one is an offence with a fine of up to K5,000 or 12 months' imprisonment. Gaming machines, which raise most of the gaming tax, pay a betting tax of 55% of gross profit, with a further 10% to the Community Benefit Fund and 5% to the Board. Bookmakers pay a turnover tax of 15% of gross bets, and a casino would pay 20% casino duty on taxable profit plus two 5% levies. Treasury recorded gaming machine tax receipts of K348.4 million and bookmakers turnover tax of K50.3 million in 2024, and cut its 2026 gaming machine forecast to K343.9 million, citing possible illegal gambling and non-compliance. The minimum age is 18. Casinos are covered by the 2015 anti-money laundering law at a K10,000 threshold. The National Parliament's bills database lists no gaming bill after the 2021 budget amendment.

Common pitfalls

Assuming online gambling is prohibited: section 236 of the Gaming Control Act 2007 lets the Board approve internet gaming, although no approval conditions or register are published. Assuming offshore supply is safe without approval: an unauthorised game is unlawful and playing it is an offence. Reading the 55% rate as a tax on all gambling revenue: it applies to gaming machine gross profit, while bookmakers pay 15% of gross bets. Relying on the 2007 text for tax rates: the 2016 amendment changed them.

Case law

PNG Lotteries Association Inc v Somare [2008] PGNC 323
19 May 2008
Operators of "High/Low" lottery games challenged the Head of State's declaration, made on the Minister's advice under s. 5(3) of the Gaming Control Act 2007, that the game and similar games were unlawful, and the police operations the Board requested to enforce it. The National Court discharged the interim orders protecting the operators: licences issued under the old law and saved by s. 272 were effectively terminated by the declaration.
Wantok Gaming Systems Ltd v National Gaming Control Board [2017] PGNC 71 (with Daniels Place Ltd and Fairfax Network Ltd)
6 Apr 2017
Contract claims against the Board after its new management ended a 2007 contract for central monitoring system software, a 2009 contract for Fairfax Network to act as a gaming machine operator for 10 years for 5% of monthly gaming machine gross revenue (terminated 7 March 2012), and a 2009 contract for Wantok to assemble and sell gaming machines. The Board argued the contracts lacked board approval and public tender under the Public Finances (Management) Act 1995. Mediation failed at a K5 million offer; the Board later raised its offer to K6.5 million, which the plaintiffs rejected, and the court declined to enter judgment and sent the claims to trial.

Outlook

No gambling bill is before Parliament: the bills database lists nothing on gaming after the Gaming Control (2022 Budget) (Amendment) Act 2021. The 2026 Budget forecasts gaming machine tax falling 19.6% against the 2025 Budget, to K343.9 million, and links the weaker trend to possible illegal gambling or non-compliance despite new venues and betting methods, which points to compliance work rather than new law. Any change to gaming tax rates would normally come through a budget amendment to the Gaming Control Act.
