Licensed

A presidential decree of April 2024 lifted the ban on online betting, risk-based internet games and lotteries from 1 January 2025, with the National Agency of Perspective Projects as licensing authority. The first licences, for bookmaking and risk-based internet games, went to Olimpbet and Oltinbet on 31 July 2026. Land-based casinos remain prohibited.
