Bolivia
Bolivia's gambling regulator says profit-making betting is prohibited nationally and warns that there are no legal online sports betting services in Bolivia. Online gambling should not be treated as lawful from the official source reviewed.
Indonesia
Official Indonesian government sources treat online gambling as illegal and subject to criminal enforcement. The government blocks gambling content and law enforcement pursues online gambling cases under criminal provisions.
Oman
Oman criminalizes using information networks or information-technology means for gambling. The official cyber-crime law reviewed here makes online gambling a criminal offence.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia criminalizes using information networks or computers to create, publish or promote material relating to gambling. Online gambling activity is not treated as a lawful civilian activity under the anti-cyber crime law reviewed here.
United Arab Emirates
The UAE Federal Crimes and Penalties Law criminalises gambling. Online gambling is therefore not lawful unless and until a specific legal exception exists under UAE law.
Argentina
Argentina does not have a single national law on online gambling. Official Justice guidance says 20 of the 24 jurisdictions already have regulated and operating online gambling, while illegal sites also operate outside state control.
Austria
Online gambling in Austria is only lawful when it is offered under the Austrian gambling regime. The Finance Ministry says internet games with centrally decided results are electronic lotteries and require permission.
Belgium
Online gambling is allowed in Belgium only through operators licensed by the Belgian Gaming Commission. Official Commission pages publish licence data and blocked illegal gambling sites.
