Online casino

Nepal does not have a legal regime for licensing online casinos: private sites and applications with cash rates are considered illegal, and communication providers are ordered to block access to such resources.

Nepalese citizens are prohibited from playing both land-based casinos and online; attempts to bypass (VPN, foreign wallets) are subject to preventive measures.

Only state-controlled lotteries are allowed in offline/official channels; private online sweepstakes, casinos and bookmakers are illegal.

The policy vector is support for the offline tourism model with zero tolerance for online gambling within the country.
