Liechtenstein

Online prohibited

The Money Gaming Act of 2010 allows online licences, but the government has suspended them and will not process applications until the end of 2028. Land-based casinos are licensed, and a stop on new casino licences ran until the end of 2025. A 2026 government draft amends the Act on match fixing, exclusion registers and advertising.
