Sports and betting

The Swiss betting market is built on a monopoly model: the cantonal lotteries Swisslos (German and Italian-speaking cantons) and Loterie Romande (French-speaking cantons) are responsible for accepting bets.

You can install offline through terminals and online on official portals; advertising and bonuses are strictly limited, age checks and self-restraint tools are mandatory.

The players are most interested in football (Swiss Super League and European cups), hockey (National League), as well as winter sports - alpine skiing, biathlon, snowboarding; a love of tennis and cycling is noticeable.

Part of the proceeds is used to support sports and cultural projects through trust funds.

Live betting is available with restrictions on markets and reception times, match fixing is monitored jointly with federations.

In general, Switzerland relies on moderation and consumer protection, while maintaining a transparent, socially oriented market.
