Belarus

Licensed

Presidential Decree No. 305 of 2018 legalised online casino and betting from April 2019. Online licences go only to operators that already hold a Belarusian land-based licence, and players must be 21 and verify their identity. New rules on cash registers and a national slot machine register took effect in 2026.
