U.S. Virgin Islands

Unregulated

The Virgin Islands Casino Control Commission licenses land-based casinos, and the Virgin Islands Lottery is government-run. The Internet Gaming and Internet Gambling Act of 2001 has never been implemented, after federal Wire Act concerns halted it in 2004, and no online or sports betting licence has been issued. Federal law also applies.
