Falkland Islands
No dedicated gambling regulator or gaming board exists. The Falkland Islands Government (via the Attorney General's Chambers / Judicial and Legal Group) administers the territory's ordinances, but there is no licensing authority for casino, betting or online gambling operators. Only the government-run lottery falls under a specific legal framework.
