Laws and regulation

Armenia supports the legal gambling market on the basis of licensing.

Land casinos are allowed in areas established by law (resort locations) and/or in objects with an increased investment threshold and placement category; it is impossible to work outside these conditions.

The online segment (bets, casinos, lotteries) is allowed with a license, player identification, age control, responsible play measures and KYC/AML compliance are required.

Advertising is significantly limited: outside the operator's own resources is allowed in strictly agreed formats and with warnings.

For violation of license conditions, fines, blocking and license revocation are provided; payments and settlements require transparent accounting and communication with legal providers.

The general goal of regulation is to protect consumers, prevent addiction and reduce the share of the illegal segment.
