Monday, September 9, 2024 In an effort to address the growing need for oversight in gambling and lottery services, the Kazakh Ministry of Tourism and Sports has recently established a new committee dedicated to regulating these industries. This move is part of a broader reorganization within the Ministry, which already oversees the tourism and sports sectors. The formation of the Gambling Business and Lottery Regulation Committee is intended to provide a structured approach to monitoring gambling activities and ensuring compliance with the country’s legal framework.
