VGA licensed casinos
What the Vanuatu Gaming Authority / Department of Customs and Inland Revenue (interactive gaming) licence means for players, how to check it in the official register, and every casino in our database that holds it.
Short answer
Vanuatu issues interactive gaming licences that cover online casino games, sports betting and poker. According to available sources, licences are issued through the Department of Customs and Inland Revenue and administered by a body described as the Vanuatu Gaming Authority, but these details could not be confirmed against an official government website during this research.
About the Vanuatu Gaming Authority / Department of Customs and Inland Revenue (interactive gaming)
The licence is mainly used by companies that target players in other countries rather than in Vanuatu itself. Player protection is limited. No national self-exclusion scheme or problem-gambling helpline was found, and operators do not appear to be required to offer deposit limits or reality checks. There is also no public list of licensees, so players cannot easily confirm a licence claim. A company registration with the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission is not the same as a gambling licence. With no public dispute body, players must resolve problems directly with the operator. A Vanuatu licence does not make a site legal in countries that require their own licence, so players should check local rules.
