Lithuania

Market Regulation

Lithuania has built a structured and monitored online gambling sector. Since legal reforms in 2016, only certified operators are allowed to serve the local audience.

The Gambling Control Authority oversees operations, enforcing transparency, identity verification, and compliance with national policies.

Unauthorized gambling websites are blacklisted and access is restricted via service providers. Advertising is also regulated with limitations across digital and broadcast media.

The Lithuanian approach is often praised for its balance between market openness and strict control, setting an example within the EU.

The country attracts international platforms due to its centralized licensing and strong legal backing, contributing to steady market growth.

While protective of its digital space, Lithuania remains open to foreign applicants who meet all regulatory, technical, and legal requirements.
