Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in the U.S. Virgin Islands

The minimum legal gambling age in the U.S. Virgin Islands depends upon the gambling activity:

In November 1994, voters on the island of St. Croix approved legalized casino gambling. The next year, it became law by the territorial legislature. During the same vote, residents on the islands of St. Thomas and St. John rejected the gaming proposal.

The Virgin Islands Casino and Resort Act of 1995 allowed the issuance of six casino licenses to stimulate the tourism economy on the island of St. Croix. In part, this Act states that only a major hotel and convention facility can have a casino.

After this initial referendum result, although it is not clear when this occurred, casino gambling became legalized on the islands of St. Thomas and St. John. This conclusion is based on St. Thomas and St. John facilities showing online that they have slot machines available. Use caution before assuming these are legal gaming options.

Online casino games and poker are available in the U.S. Virgin Islands, yet licenses haven’t been issued. Players are unprosecuted for playing in offshore casinos. The U.S. Virgin Islands does not block access to online casino websites.

Gaming Control Board in the U.S. Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands Casino and Resort Control Act of 1995 established the U.S. Virgin Islands Casino Control Commission. The Commission does not have a website, but its main phone number is (340) 718-3138.

The Casino Control Commission issued its first two casino licenses in 1998. After a delay caused by the passing of Hurricane Lenny in November 1999, the first St. Croix casino opened in March 2001.

The Commission issues licenses to prospective casino investors and employees. Its inspectors and agents maintain a physical presence during the operation of the casino.

The Commission’s investigation and enforcement arm is the USVI Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) within the USVI Department of Justice.

The Division’s primary function is to investigate the qualifications of each applicant before the Commission issues any license, permit, or certification. Further, the DGE requires their Division verify any jackpot of $25,000 or more.
