Online casino

Lesotho does not have a full licensing regime for online casinos and remote betting: local permits are not issued, and servicing residents in digital channels is interpreted as unlicensed activity.

Foreign sites are technically accessible, but do not give players regulatory protection and are subject to account/payment blocks.

Operators are advised to exclude Lesotho from T&C, apply geoblock, BIN/IP/telephone filters and strict KYC/AML screening; advertising and affiliate targeting of users from the country is prohibited.

The payment environment for online is limited: banks and e-wallet providers are careful about gambling merchants, priority remains with offline transactions.

Prior to the adoption of a separate law, any online offers for residents carry a high compliance risk and do not provide consumer protection.
