It became the world's foremost online gambling jurisdiction in 1994 and was in charge for furnishing the opening boost to the online gambling industry. It remains the one of the highly-esteemed gambling jurisdictions.

In the jurisdiction of Antigua & Barbuda the authoritarian unit is the Division of Gaming, which has been created under the Financial Services Regulatory Commission.
