Lately last month the online gambling on Tinian (located in the Mariana Island) was officially approved by the Tinian and Aguiguan Legislative Delegation as a local measure amending the 1989 Casino Gaming Control Act of Tinian.
The House Local Bill 20-30, which introduced the change, will also be amending the taxation rates and casino licensing fees in the jurisdiction.
Per the measure, a new paragraph was added to Section 15 of the revised 1989 ACT under (g) which legalizes online gambling with licensed operators, provided they implement geolocation software to limit the online gambling activities within the “intra-island borders of the Second Senatorial District” and among the jurisdictions where online gambling is legalized.

And as part of the changes to the licensing and taxation fees, online operators will now be legally obliged to pay a supplemental yearly licensing fee of $300,000 USD to operate online gaming while also paying a 5% gross online revenue tax each month.
Prospective online operators would also be required to have a hotel-casino complex with at least 300 rooms to be allowed to operate online gaming activities
