Until April 1 2019, only two types of online gambling were allowed in Belarus:

  • betting (a gambler places a bet on an event against a bookmaker), for instance sports bets;
  • online totalizator (a gambler places a bet on an event against another gambler).

Since April 1, 2019 witnessed legitimation of virtual gambling houses and following online games:

  • online card games (for instance, poker);
  • online slot machines determining prizes/payouts randomly;
  • bingo games, offering prizes depending on right guesses of number combinations and stakes.

Live games – where real gaming tables, cards, roulettes are located either in Belarus or abroad, games are broadcasted online and gamblers play remotely – are also allowed. Live games include card games, dice games, roulette games and live gaming machines.

They are entitled not to apply for amending the license with the activity of virtual gambling houses and are relieved from observing requirements applied to virtual gambling houses till April 1, 2021.

  • those subjected to administrative liability during last two years for violations related to legalisation of proceeds of crime, financing terrorist activities or financing spread of weapons of mass destruction;
