How to read this list and what is important to consider
"Allowed" ≠ "unconditionally available": conditions differ (verticals, advertising, limits, taxation, local requirements).
Taxes change rapidly (GGR rates/turnover, license fees, local duties). Keep track of updates in every country and state/land. (See UK and Australia news for examples of fresh tax and oversight discussions).
Responsible play and AML are the central topics of 2024-2025: self-exclusion, deposit limits, online credit card bans, advertising codes, supplier audits.
Mini-guide for choosing a jurisdiction
1. Regulator transparency and license predictability (UKGC, Ksa, Spelinspektionen, MGA).
2. Login speed and compliance requirements (technical certification, RG/AML, local hosting/domain).
3. Advertising and payment restrictions (credit cards in AU; FR/NL/SE advertising framework).
4. Taxes and fees (IT concessions/licences, UK/EU taxes, BR contributions).
Legal bets are mature regulation, understandable licenses and a high standard of player protection. For operators, this means more predictable marketing, access to payment infrastructure and reduced regulatory risks; for players - transparent coefficients, self-control tools and effective defense mechanisms. If you are building a product or content by country, keep a live update tracker - 2024-2025 brings many changes (especially in Brazil and individual states/territories in Australia).
Note: regulatory and tax parameters change. Before deciding to launch/advertise, check with the primary sources of regulators and current regulations.
