What international casinos operate with a Belize license

Short Answer (2025)

To date, no online casino in the world operates with a valid Belize license. Since June 9, 2025, the government has officially confirmed the moratorium on the issuance of online licenses and warned that all statements about the "Belize online license" are false. Until further notice, new licenses are not issued, but there are no valid ones.

Why so: there is a legal framework, but no licenses

The country has a regulatory framework: Gaming Control Act (Cap. 152) and Online Gaming Regulations 2004 - they historically allowed online licenses. Regulator: Gaming Control Board.

However, from 09. 06. 2025 there is a moratorium: the government and the press office have publicly stated that no online licenses are now being issued or issued. Any sites claiming otherwise are required to cease operations.

Why the network still writes about the "Belize license"

1. Legacy Help/Agent Sites. Many materials describe the old order (before the moratorium), without pointing to the stop mode of 2025. Check the publication date and the availability of a link to the official source. (For an example of typical "guides" without taking into account the moratorium, see consulting aggregators.)

2. Marketing statements of operators. Some sites continue to write "licensed in Belize," although the regulator directly called such statements disinformation.

How to make a license fact check (editor's checklist)

1. Look for the official moratorium notice (date: June 9, 2025). If it is not in the sources of the material, there is a high probability that the text is outdated.

2. Check with the government press office (duplication of public warning).

3. Check the primary according to the norms (Cap. 152 and Regs-2004): the presence of a framework ≠ the presence of valid licenses at the moment.

4. See the news about the consolidation bill 2025 (Gaming and Lotteries Control Bill, 2025): until its passage and a separate notification of the lifting of the moratorium, licensing remains stopped.

FAQ

Does anyone conduct activities "under old licenses"?

No, it isn't. The official explanations say bluntly: at the moment, not a single company is licensed, and the issuance of new licenses has been stopped "until further notice."

And Belize's land-based casinos are tied to online licenses?

No, it isn't. Online mode is regulated separately (Regs-2004). The moratorium applies to online licenses and does not mean the automatic closure of ground halls. The basic legal pillar is Cap. 152.

When will the moratorium be lifted?

There is no official date. Follow government updates and the progress of the Gaming and Lotteries Control Bill, 2025.
