Tajikistan

Online prohibited

Casinos and slot machines are banned in Tajikistan, in land-based and online form, and foreign online casinos are blocked. The Ministry of Finance licenses lotteries and retail sports betting. Whether online sports betting can be licensed could not be established from primary sources.

Low confidence. This record rests on thin sourcing and is queued for a primary-source check.
