A constitutional referendum was held in Liechtenstein on 29 January 2023. Voters voted on a proposal to ban casinos, with 73% voting against the proposal. If a ban had been approved, casinos in Liechtenstein would have been closed and banned by 2028.[1]

Background

Gambling was prohibited in Liechtenstein until 2010, when it was legalised.[2] Шаблон:As of, there are six casinos in the country, which doubled from three in 2019.[2] The national casino association has conceded that it "sees no economic basis for so many casinos in the future".[3] The industry generated CHF 28 million in gambling levies in 2022, which amounted to 3% of tax revenue in the year.[2]

Petition

The group IG VolksMeinung collected more than 2,000 signatures in favour of a ban, from the population of 38,000. The Landtag of Liechtenstein voted against the ban, so it therefore had to be decided by referendum.[4]
