Summary
The U.S. Virgin Islands licenses land-based casinos and has had an internet gaming law since 2001, but no online gambling licence has ever been issued. The Virgin Islands Casino Control Commission, an independent executive agency of three commissioners, regulates casinos under the Virgin Islands Casino and Resort Control Act of 1995 and internet gaming under the Internet Gaming and Internet Gambling Act (Act 6419 of 2001, 32 V.I.C. s. 601 et seq.). The Division of Gaming Enforcement in the Department of Justice investigates applicants and enforces the law. Two casinos operate, both on St. Croix: Divi Carina Bay and the Caravelle. Their gross revenue in the year to 30 September 2025 was $19.7 million, taxed at 12%. The internet act routes licensees through a statutory Master Service Provider on St. Croix, limits play to those aged 21 or over, requires a $100,000 bond and, since Act 8397 of 2020, a $25,000 application fee and $50,000 first-year licence fee, and taxes gross internet gaming revenue at 1.5% in lieu of other territorial taxes. In September 2025 the Commission confirmed it had issued no online gambling licences while warning the public about a fake online casino advert. After a July 2025 summit it finalised amendments to modernise the internet act and presented them to senators in January 2026; its August 2026 budget testimony cited no bill. Neither statute names sports betting. The Virgin Islands Lottery, a government agency, runs the lottery and shares in games run under contract by Caribbean Lottery Services and Southland Gaming, and a bill to expand Southland's racetrack gaming was sent to committee in August 2026.
Common pitfalls
Reading the 2001 Internet Gaming Act as a live licensing regime. No licence has been issued, offering or advertising internet gaming in the territory without one breaches s. 605, and the Commission has publicly flagged fake adverts claiming local online casinos. Casino gaming is confined to approved hotels in the St. Croix casino zone and to racetrack casinos, and the minimum age is 21.

Outlook
The Commission has finalised amendments to the Internet Gaming and Internet Gambling Act and presented them to the 36th Legislature on 29 January 2026; the next step is a bill, and the Commission's August 2026 testimony cited none, so online licensing is not imminent. Bill No. 36-0313, which would have given Southland Gaming gaming rights at both racetracks and two new tourist gaming centres on St. Thomas, was moved to the Budget, Appropriations and Finance Committee on 26 August 2026. The Governor's nominee for Commission Chairman is pending before the Legislature, and Act 9052 now gives the Division of Gaming Enforcement 10% of the Casino Revenue Fund to clear its licensing backlog.
