Online casino

In North Korea, online casinos are completely banned, and citizens' access to the global network is strictly limited and filtered.

There is only an internal intranet network (Kwangmyong) that is not connected to the world Internet, which makes participation in international gambling sites technically impossible.

Any attempt to organize or participate in gambling - online or offline - for DPRK citizens entails criminal liability.

Open sources periodically mention underground offshore schemes allegedly related to the export of IT services or online gambling for foreign players outside the country, but there is no reliable evidence.

Such cases, as a rule, are interpreted as sanctions violations.

The state position remains unchanged: there are no legal online casinos, sweepstakes or lotteries for citizens and the domestic market, and control over digital communications is completely centralized.
