A gambling regulator has emerged in Haiti
The authorities in Haiti have established a special organization to regulate gambling — the Autorité Nationale des Jeux de Hasard et d’Argent (ANJHA). It will oversee both land-based gambling and iGaming operations.
The creation of ANJHA is stipulated by a decree published in August 2026. Previously, the oversight of the gambling market in the country was carried out by the state lottery LEH, which will now retain only its operator functions.
The new regulator will be based in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, and will operate under the supervision of the country's Ministry of Economy and Finance. Its responsibilities include issuing licenses, monitoring operators, and combating illegal gambling. It is known that for iGaming companies, an annual license costs 5 million Haitian gourdes or approximately 38 thousand dollars.
Additionally, the Haitian authorities have designated an agency authorized to collect taxes, license fees, and other mandatory payments from gambling operators. This role has been assigned to the General Directorate of Taxes of Haiti (DGI). All transactions must be conducted through its official channels and verified with receipts.
