Latvia

Licensed

The Gambling and Lotteries Law allows licensed online casino, betting and poker. Since 1 April 2026 the Lotteries and Gambling Supervisory Inspection (IAUI) has been merged into the State Revenue Service, which now supervises the market; licences issued by the IAUI stay valid. Latvijas Loto holds the state lottery.
