Legal situation in Fiji

Gambling in Fiji is governed by the Gaming Decree 2009 (Decree No. 34 of 2009), which repealed the old Gaming Act (Cap. 273). Section 4 makes all gaming illegal unless it is exempt, specifically exempted by the Minister or licensed, and the responsible Minister is the Attorney-General. Class 1 licences cover charitable gaming and are issued by Divisional Commissioners or the Solicitor-General depending on prize value; Class 2 licences cover commercial gaming, including ticket lotteries for up to 15 years, and are issued by the Attorney-General. Casino games were prohibited except at charitable Class 1 events, and the Gaming (Amendment) Decree 2012 allowed licensed gaming machines and gave the Minister power to issue an exclusive casino licence.

Online gambling is ruled out by the decree itself. Remote interactive gaming, defined as gaming through the internet, radio, telephone, television or other remote technology, needs a Class 2 licence and may be offered only by telephone, radio, television or other prescribed media; section 27 states that in no circumstances may such a medium be used in conjunction with the internet. Running an unlicensed remote gaming operation carries penalties of up to FJD 10,000 and five years' imprisonment, and helping to run one up to FJD 5,000 and two years.

Online casino play is illegal in Fiji for operators and players alike, because remote gaming over the internet cannot be licensed and taking part in unlicensed remote gaming is an offence.

Internet gambling cannot be licensed in Fiji, and players of unlicensed remote games risk prosecution under section 29(4) of the Gaming Decree 2009. Lawful gambling is limited to lotteries and other gaming licensed under the decree.
