Belarus will allow gambling operators to legally register properly licensed online casinos.
The country does not prohibit Belarusians from online gambling on overseas websites, but promoting unlicensed sites will become illegal in 2021.
“Publishing gambling content aimed at promotion and organizing unlicensed online gaming will be illegal beginning with 1 April 2021,” said Marina Nevinkaya, the head of gambling department at Belarus’ Ministry of Taxes and Duties in a press release. “Two years after the entry into force of the basic provisions of the decree number 305, access to the websites containing such information, will be limited.”
According to the recent data, 106 companies hold gambling business licenses in the country while 94 license holders actually operate. There are 391 gambling establishments in Belarus, including 27 casinos, 176 gaming machine halls and 188 betting offices.
