DGJA licensed casinos
What the Dirección General de Juegos de Azar (Ministry of Finance, Dominican Republic) licence means for players, how to check it in the official register, and every casino in our database that holds it.
Short answer
Gambling in the Dominican Republic is licensed through a gaming directorate of the Ministry of Finance, which oversees casinos, betting shops, lotteries and online operators. According to recent reports, a new gaming law has replaced the former Directorate of Casinos and Games of Chance with a General Directorate of Games of Chance.
About the Dirección General de Juegos de Azar (Ministry of Finance, Dominican Republic)
These reports could not be confirmed against official sources during this research, so details of the new body may change. Licensed online operators are reported to use Dominican '.do' web addresses, and the authorities have blacklisted unlicensed international sites. Players must be 18. Winnings from lottery and sports betting are reported to be taxed only above a set threshold. No public register of licensed online operators was found, so players should ask an operator for its Dominican licence and check it with the regulator. Disputes should go to the operator first. If the operator does not settle them, players can reportedly file a formal complaint with the regulator. Players using unlicensed sites have no local recourse.
