Culture and history
Gambling in Lithuania has passed the classic post-Soviet path: from a de facto ban to a legal and regulated market after the 1990s.
In the 1990-2000s, lotteries and the first casinos in Vilnius and Kaunas became the core, later - slot clubs and bookmakers.
National symbols and basketball culture influenced betting and promotional campaigns, and resort locations like Palanga added to the tourist demand.
Today, a responsible approach prevails: strict age barriers, self-control and moderate advertising.
Online formats, live games and poker events support the interest of the younger, digital generation, while maintaining a balance with traditional values and local identity.
