Sri Lanka has blocked access to 24 illegal online gambling websites operating without the required licences, the Ministry of Digital Economy announced.
The move was carried out by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL), which directed all telecommunications service providers to block access to the websites with immediate effect. The action follows a request from the Gambling Regulatory Authority, operating under the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, in accordance with the Gambling Regulatory Authority Act, No. 17 of 2025.
According to the ministry, operating or promoting online gambling services in Sri Lanka without a valid licence issued under Sections 15, 16 and 18 of the Act constitutes an offence under Section 44.
