Croatia

Licensed

The Ministry of Finance licenses online casino, betting and poker, and online licences are available only to companies that already hold a land-based licence in Croatia. Hrvatska Lutrija holds the lottery monopoly. Amendments in force since May 2025 tightened advertising and player identification rules and raised licence fees by about half.
