Sint Maarten, a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, licenses land-based casinos under its own ordinances. No current online licensing regime was confirmed. A new law covering land-based and online play and an independent Sint Maarten Gaming Authority are being prepared under reform agreements with the Netherlands.
