Dr. Rory Reid meets with members of the Gaming Board for the Commonwealth of the Bahamas

In June 2015, Dr. Reid traveled to Bimini Bahamas and met with several members of the Gaming Board for the Commonwealth of the Bahamas including the Assistant Secretary to discuss Responsible Gaming Practices. In November 2014, the Bahamian government adopted several new regulations that impact operations of gaming companies in the Bahamas. While these regulations were intended to address some of the concerns about the Web Shops that had been operating illegally for many years, the regulations have broad implications for many U.S. based companies that have gambling facilities in the Bahamas.
