Casinos by country

Regulated casinos in your country, language, and currency.

Online gambling is not an unregulated market. Neither is it a heavily restricted landscape. The level of restrictions and freedom accorded to this industry varies from one jurisdiction to another. Some governments take a lenient view of it, and others curtail it with an iron hand.

Naturally, casinos go to great lengths to ensure that they are not on the wrong side of the law in various jurisdictions. One way of doing this would be by offering their services only in a limited set of countries. Another way is to obtain multiple gambling licenses to get legal access to more jurisdictions. All of these complicate things for the players. As a player, you may find it often confusing to identify the casinos that are legal in your country and accept players from there.

Are These Online Casinos in My Country?

Online casinos typically offer their services to players from a vast number of countries, in addition to the one where they are located. Most online casinos are heavily concentrated in a select few countries because of the forward-looking policies of the governments in these regions. The nature of their gambling licenses allows them to offer their services to international players too. So, it is very likely that an online casino you visit offers you its services but is based in a different country.

That said, if you belong to a country where the laws are friendly towards online gambling businesses, you may find a local casino too. In fact, we display your local casinos prominently when you select your country at the top of this page.

Should I Play on International Online Casinos?

That depends on your country’s laws. The laws in most countries fall into three categories:

• Online gambling is entirely illegal in some countries. If you belong to such a country, it is advised that you do not visit an online casino, lest you attract judicial action against your offense.

• Some countries have made online gambling partly or entirely legal, as long as the online casinos adhere to strict regulations. They even have authorities that regulate online gambling, monitor the developments in the industry, and protect the interests of the players. If you are based in such a country, you can enjoy online casinos as per your country’s regulations.

• Then there are some countries that make it difficult for online gambling companies to have offices or operate from within their boundaries. Interestingly, they do not prohibit their individuals from playing online gambling. As an individual, you can engage in online gambling as there is no law explicitly prohibiting it. Only the online casinos are not permitted to have an office or their servers within the country. In such a curious case, there is no law preventing you from visiting international online casinos.

International online casinos are not breaking the law, as they do not have offices locally. Neither are they operating from within the country’s boundaries. Their servers are located outside the country. So, it’s entirely legal for you to visit online casinos if you live in such a country.

Taxes on Online Casino Winnings

To simplify online gambling, almost all European gambling regulators have eliminated taxes on the winnings. Instead, they tax the online casinos a percentage of their revenue. So, if you happen to win on European online casinos, you are not taxed by the country in which the casino is based. Likewise, governments across the world are sobering up to the massive revenue potential of online casinos and are trying to draw up casino-friendly laws. Still, there’s a long way to go until taxes on online casino winnings are eliminated everywhere. Therefore, be mindful of the local regulation in your country.

Playing in Your Currency

If you are playing on an online casino, you’d want to make deposits and withdrawals in your currency. Today, online casinos support a wide variety of local currencies. Indeed, all the casinos you find listed here under your country are verified to accept your currency.
