The headline most operators get wrong: local cards are the dominant deposit rail in only 29 of 103 markets. Bank rails and mobile money dominate 51.

Dominant deposit rail by market
Click a market to jump to its full entry; click a legend chip to isolate a rail family
Fill = the deposit rail our taxonomy grades dominant for that market; hatched = voucher and cash networks; gray = no single dominant rail; faint = markets outside the taxonomy (hover shows which). The UAE and Saudi Arabia share one Gulf market entry; French Guiana is excluded from France's fill. Micro-markets render as dots. Geometry: Natural Earth, Equal Earth projection.
Every market, in detail
Each entry carries the rails players actually use, the one-paragraph regulatory picture, and the providers from our catalog with recorded access to those rails. Access and evidence grades are shown as-is: direct means the provider runs the rail itself, aggregatedmeans it resells someone else's access, and the evidence label tells you whether the record rests on named clients, a platform catalog, industry knowledge, or the provider's own claim.

SerbiaCards · DinaCardbetting: regulatedcasino: regulated
Closed market run by the Games of Chance Administration (Uprava za igre na sreću) inside the Ministry of Finance: a Serbian licence is mandatory and Malta or Curaçao paper is not recognised. Entry economics sit in the law — €250,000 share capital, a €300,000 bank guarantee or deposit held at a bank domiciled in Serbia, and a €10,000 daily risk deposit. The amendments adopted in November 2024 (in force 6 December 2024, applied from 6 January 2025) are the payments-relevant part: online organisers must give the Administration access to their database or a replicated Mirror Server, e-licensing and KYC/self-exclusion data exchange were tightened, and individual cash deposits or withdrawals above RSD 1,175,000 in any 30-day window are now restricted.
Rails players use
- DinaCard · local-carddominantSerbia's national card scheme, backed by the National Bank of Serbia and issued by nearly every local bank. Mozzart, MaxBet and Soccerbet all take it beside Visa/Mastercard with no commission and a RSD 500 minimum; it is cheaper to accept than the international schemes, which is why licensed sites push it. An acquirer without a Serbian relationship cannot touch it.
- Visa / Mastercard (locally acquired) · local-cardStandard on the same cashiers with 3-D Secure and instant credit, but for a licensed operator the acquiring has to sit inside the Serbian perimeter alongside the mandated bank guarantee.
- Bank transfer (RSD) · bank-transferDinar accounts at Serbian banks; the route for larger balances and withdrawals, now inside the RSD 1,175,000 / 30-day cash threshold introduced in 2025.
- Payspot / Altapay collection points · voucher/cashLocal cash-in networks used by players who avoid cards.
- Skrill / Neteller · walletMostly an offshore-facing rail; a Serbian-licensed operator still settles inside the local perimeter.

GeorgiaCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, GEL)betting: regulatedcasino: regulated
A licensed market with a two-tier tax split that is the whole story for an inbound operator. Domestic-facing online casino pays 20% of GGR; the amendments proposed in June 2026 to the law on the Organisation of Lotteries, Gambling and Profitable Games create a dedicated foreign-only licence — online slots and sports betting sold exclusively to non-Georgian customers — at 5% GGR on a five-year term. Online casino licences stay tied to the ten land-based casino businesses, among them Casino Adjara, Crystalbet and Iveria. The operator field is consolidated and international: Adjarabet belongs to Flutter, and Betsson runs the former europebet. Treat Georgia as a licensing-and-hosting proposition first and a player market second.
Rails players use
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, GEL) · local-carddominantCards issued by TBC, Bank of Georgia and Liberty are the default deposit rail on Adjarabet and Crystalbet; acquiring runs through the Georgian banks.

SlovakiaInstant bank · TatraPay and bank online-banking buttonsbetting: regulatedcasino: regulated
An open EU licensing market run by the Office for the Regulation of Gambling (ÚRHH) under the Ministry of Finance, with the modern framework live since March 2019 and no cap on the number of licences. The entry cost is structural rather than numeric: an international operator has to establish a Slovak branch or subsidiary, which drags the payment stack onshore with it. From 1 January 2026 the updated eKasa regime (Act No. 384/2025 Coll.) requires real-time fiscal reporting on online casino transactions, so the payment integration now has a reporting obligation sitting on top of it.
Rails players use
- TatraPay and bank online-banking buttons · instant-bank/RTPdominantTatra banka's TatraPay is the recognisable Slovak pay-by-bank button, with ČSOB and the other domestic banks running equivalents. Instant on deposit, slower on the way out.

North MacedoniaCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, MKD)betting: monopolycasino: monopoly
The freshest regulatory event in this taxonomy, and it closed the market. The Assembly adopted a new Law on Games of Chance and Entertainment Games on 29 June 2026, in force 14 July 2026, replacing the 2011 framework: online casino, sports betting and lottery now sit under a single state-owned operator. Private companies may still supply games, platforms and technology through public tenders, but they cannot hold the licence, manage players or run the site, and the authorities moved to cancel the licences previously held by operators including Mozzart, NOVO VLT, 77 BITS, Vezuv and 2Win.mk.

MontenegroCards · Local cards (Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, Maestro)betting: regulatedcasino: regulated
A new Games of Chance Act entered into force on 14 August 2025, replacing the old concession model with licensing: casino licences are issued by the government, other games by the Games of Chance Administration. The gate for online is the familiar Balkan one — an online licence goes only to operators that already hold a land-based licence, which makes market entry an acquisition question rather than an application question.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, BAM)betting: regulatedcasino: regulated
One country, three gambling regimes: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska and Brčko District each legislate and enforce separately. Online is legal in principle, but licences go only to operators already running land-based operations inside the same entity — so a national footprint means clearing three regulators and, in practice, three land-based positions. The fragmentation is the market's defining feature and the reason it stays small relative to its population.
Rails players use

- Bank transfer (BAM) · bank-transferDomestic clearing, again entity by entity.

SloveniaCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, EUR)betting: monopolycasino: monopoly
Closed by design under the 1995 Gaming Act: online products may only be offered by operators that already hold a Slovenian land-based casino, betting or lottery licence, which in practice means Loterija Slovenije and Športna Loterija, the latter holding exclusive rights over sports and racing betting. Foreign operators cannot enter directly. Slovenia tabled draft amendments in 2025 that would raise the licensed count from two to five, open concession tenders and relax ownership and localisation rules — worth watching, not yet worth planning around; the Entain and Superbet interest in acquiring Športna Loterija was dropped.
Rails players use

HungaryCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, HUF)betting: regulatedcasino: monopoly
Split down the middle, and the split is what matters. Sports betting was liberalised from January 2023 and is open to private EEA operators through SZTFH licensing, with entry priced at HUF 1bn share capital and a HUF 600m licence fee plus 15% GGR tax and a 2.5% supervision fee, and a requirement of five years' licensed EEA online experience. Online casino is a different world: new entrants need a land-based casino concession, and as of late 2025 eleven of the twelve available concessions were already granted. So the honest read for an operator is that the betting door is open but expensive, and the casino door is effectively shut.
Rails players use
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, HUF) · local-carddominantThe default rail on SZTFH-licensed sites, acquired through the Hungarian entity the licence assumes.
- Bank transfer (HUF, instant) · instant-bank/RTPHungary's domestic instant-payment scheme clears in seconds and carries larger deposits and withdrawals.

AlbaniaCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, ALL)betting: regulatedcasino: offshore
Albania is the reopening story in this taxonomy. A blanket gambling ban ran for five years from 2019; Law No. 18/2024, effective 27 March 2024, brought regulated online sports betting back specifically to pull volume out of the black market. The reopening is deliberately narrow: only ten online licences exist in total, reserved for joint-stock companies with high capital and proven operating history across several EU or OECD markets, while land-based casino and live poker sit behind separate high-end permits tied to five-star hotels and resort zones. Online casino was not reopened, so that vertical stays offshore. On 11 March 2026 the Council of Ministers adopted the technical standards: platform infrastructure, player identification, and billing and payment procedures, with every betting-related transaction recorded and monitored in real time by Albanian state bodies. That last clause is the one that shapes a payment stack here.
Rails players use
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, ALL) · local-carddominantAcquired through Albanian banks inside the licensed perimeter; the real-time transaction-monitoring rule means the acquiring relationship carries a reporting obligation, not just a settlement one.
- Bank transfer (ALL) · bank-transferDomestic clearing for larger deposits and withdrawals, inside the same monitored perimeter.

KosovoCards · Offshore cards (EUR)betting: banned-processingcasino: banned-processing
The mirror image of its neighbour. Kosovo's Assembly passed the Law on the Prohibition of Games of Chance in March 2019, in force from May, after the murders of two men in gambling venues in Lipjan and Suhareka and the public pressure that followed. The prohibition covers essentially every form for at least ten years with the state lottery as the exception, and as of 2026 the government has shown no sign of reversing it — the contrast with Albania, which reopened in 2024, is the useful thing to know. There is no licensing route to obtain and no compliant local acquiring to build.

UruguayCards · Local cards (Visa, Mastercard, OCA, Líder)betting: monopolycasino: monopoly
Online betting runs through the state operator: La Banca de Quinielas' Supermatch platform with a small set of authorised partners, while the National Directorate of Lotteries blocks offshore sites daily. Two things moved in 2026: Resolution 015/2026 tightened the authorised operators with biometric proof-of-life identity checks and WLA Level 4 responsible-gaming certification, and a full online-gambling bill reached parliament in March 2026 as part of a package the government promised for the first half of the year. Drafts circulating tie virtual-gaming eligibility to land-based casino concessions, so this is a monopoly market in transition rather than an opening one — worth mapping now because the rails will not change when the licensing does.
Rails players use
- Local cards (Visa, Mastercard, OCA, Líder) · local-carddominantUruguayan-issued cards credit instantly on Supermatch from a UYU 200 minimum. OCA and Líder are domestic issuers that international acquirers routinely miss; dLocal documents both as separate pay-in codes (OA, LI) beside Visa/Mastercard debit and credit.

PanamaCards · Clavebetting: regulatedcasino: regulated
The Junta de Control de Juegos, inside the Ministry of Economy and Finance, licenses remote gambling across casino, sportsbook, poker and bingo under a single instrument: a Panamanian company, a local office, at least three directors, a seven-year permit at roughly $40,000 up front and $20,000 a year. Two practical notes for anyone pricing this market. The JCJ does not publish its licensee list, so the field markers are a .pa domain, the JCJ badge in the footer and local rails in the cashier. And most operators serving Panamanian players hold foreign licences instead, which makes this a split market: a regulated onshore perimeter next to a large offshore-facing one. Panama is dollarised, so card acceptance is simpler than elsewhere in LATAM.
Rails players use
- Clave · local-carddominantPanama's domestic debit network, and one of the two tells that a cashier is actually onshore-regulated rather than offshore. An acquirer without a Panamanian bank relationship cannot offer it.
- Punto Pago · walletLocal payment network and app used for bill payment and top-ups; the second field marker of a JCJ-regulated site.
- Yappy · walletBanco General's wallet and the country's most-used digital payment platform overall — about 25 million transactions a month across roughly 1.4 million users, now open beyond Banco General's own customers. Dominant in Panamanian commerce generally; on gambling cashiers it sits beside Clave and Punto Pago rather than ahead of them.

Dominican RepublicCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, DOP)betting: regulatedcasino: regulated
Resolution 136-2024, issued 26 March 2024 by the Ministry of Finance, built a licensing regime for online casino and sports betting under the Dirección de Casinos y Juegos de Azar with three requirements that land on infrastructure rather than marketing: a .do domain, gaming servers physically inside the country, and registration with the Superintendence of Banks. Licences run five years, are non-transferable for the first three, and are priced at RD$20.47M for online casino and RD$15.36M for sports betting. Resolution 184-2026 then added responsible-gaming rules and a national self-exclusion system, and a June 2025 reform bill would fold oversight into a new General Directorate of Gambling with real-time supervision. The banking registration is the clause that matters for a payment stack: it pushes settlement onshore by design.
Rails players use
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, DOP) · local-carddominantThe default deposit rail on licensed .do sites, acquired in pesos through Dominican banks — which the Superintendence-of-Banks registration effectively requires.
- Local bank transfer (Banreservas, Popular, BHD) · bank-transferThe three large domestic banks carry most transfer volume; the onshore-server and banking-registration rules make local settlement the expected shape rather than an optimisation.

Law 7438/2025 rewrote the regime, pulling sports betting and online casino inside the regulated frame under CONAJZAR and ending the single-operator model. The catch is timing: Daruma SAM's sports-betting concession runs to 2028, the new framework allows up to three licensed operators in that category, and the first public tenders were expected during 2026. Until those land, the practical market is one concession plus offshore traffic.

BoliviaCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, BOB)betting: offshorecasino: offshore
A grey market with a regulator that claims the ground. Law 060 of 25 November 2010 created the Autoridad de Fiscalización del Juego under the Ministry of Economy and allows games by 'digital or technological means', a clause the AJ read in 2021 as bringing online gaming inside the framework — without a licensing route that international operators actually use. The 2026 reform on the table would scrap the gaming taxes (30% on operators, 15% on players) that the authorities themselves blame for driving volume grey, while the AJ keeps issuing public warnings about unauthorised sites. Watch the tax repeal: it is the trigger that would turn this into a real licensed market.
Rails players use

Formally illegal, practically open. Gambling sits under Penal Code provisions whose roots run to 1880, no licences are issued to digital operators, and there is no online framework at all — yet land-based and online activity runs widely and largely unchecked, with Guatemalans reaching international sites without prosecution. For an operator this is an offshore-serve market: no local licence exists to obtain, so the payment question is simply which rails clear without a domestic gambling authorisation behind them.
Rails players use
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, GTQ) · local-carddominantCross-border card acceptance carries most volume; decline rates are the usual offshore problem, which is what pulls players to wallets and crypto.
- Cash collection networks · voucher/cashOver-the-counter cash-in is a real rail here — Monnet's own pricing guidance singles out Guatemalan cash collection as a materially different cost line from Andean online banking.

HondurasBank transfer · Bank transfer (HNL)betting: offshorecasino: offshore
Regulated on paper since 1977 and never updated since: the framework has had no amendments and contains no reference to the online sector, which leaves online betting unmonitored rather than prohibited. There is no regulator issuing online licences and no blocking regime to speak of, so Honduras behaves as an offshore-serve market where bank transfer is unusually prominent for the region.

VenezuelaInstant bank · Pago Móvil · USDT (stablecoins)betting: offshorecasino: offshore
No online statute exists. The 1997 casino and slot-machine law is land-based and predates the consumer internet; the 2000 National Lottery Law is silent on private digital wagering. So online play runs offshore in a grey market with no licensing route to obtain. What makes Venezuela worth mapping is the money rather than the law: with bolívar inflation running 254-270% annualised and escalating past 600% in Q1 2026, stablecoins carry roughly 91% of monthly Venezuelan crypto transactions, and the working cashier pattern is a dual channel — bolívares in through Pago Móvil, dollars in through USDT, with the operator holding an internal USD balance and converting bolívar deposits at the moment of receipt.
Rails players use
- Pago Móvil · instant-bank/RTPdominantThe domestic instant bank rail and the bolívar half of the dual-channel cashier. Reaching it needs a Venezuelan banking relationship, which is exactly what most offshore operators lack.
- USDT (stablecoins) · otherdominantThe dollar channel, and the reason Venezuela is the one market in this taxonomy where crypto is genuinely dominant rather than residual. The common route is buying USDT on Binance P2P with bolívares via bank transfer or Pago Móvil, then depositing the USDT directly.
- Local bank transfer (VES) · bank-transferBehind Pago Móvil for the same bolívar flows; both are priced against the BCV rate, which moves fast enough to be a commercial term rather than a detail.
- Bitcoin · otherPresent beside USDT, but stablecoins carry the overwhelming share because players want dollar stability, not exposure.

Costa Rica is two things at once, and conflating them is the standard error. As a jurisdiction it hosts operators worldwide under a municipal data-processing licence, which is explicitly not gambling authorisation and comes with conditions that bar serving Costa Rican residents and bar settling through local banks. As a player market it is therefore pure offshore-serve: Costa Ricans deposit on international sites, and no domestic licensing route exists to serve them. The payments side is unusually modern for the region: SINPE Móvil, operated directly by the Banco Central de Costa Rica, reached over 80% of adults by 2025 and carries close to 80% of interbank transfer volume by count (about 4% by value) across 44 participating entities.

El SalvadorCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, USD)betting: regulatedcasino: regulated
Licensing sits with the Lotería Nacional de Beneficencia, which issues and supervises permits including online gaming and sports betting — a real route, unlike most of Central America. One correction worth publishing loudly, because the outdated version is everywhere: Bitcoin is no longer legal currency here. On 30 January 2025 the Congress amended the Bitcoin Law as a condition of a $1.4bn IMF programme; acceptance is now voluntary, businesses may refuse it, and it can no longer be used to pay taxes or settle government debts. The country still runs a Bitcoin Office and holds BTC reserves, but the dollar is the operating currency and any cashier built on the 2021 story is built on a repealed premise.

NicaraguaE-wallets · Skrill / Netellerbetting: offshorecasino: offshore
The 2011 gambling law makes all forms legal and says nothing about online, which is read as permitting it; the Ministry of Finance regulates and a local licence is nominally required, but the process is built around land-based permits with online extensions rather than online-only licences. Enforcement against unlicensed sites is inconsistent, no meaningful roster of locally licensed online brands exists, and offshore operators serve the market in practice.
Rails players use
- Skrill / Neteller · walletdominantPlayer guides put wallets first, partly because they convert córdobas into dollars or euros on the way — the practical workaround for a small, weakly banked market.
- Money-transfer agencies (Western Union, MoneyGram) · voucher/cashUsed extensively across Central America and accepted as a deposit route by many sites serving Nicaraguan players.
- Local cards and bank wires (NIO) · local-cardCross-border acceptance with the usual offshore decline profile.

JamaicaVouchers/cash · Paymasterbetting: regulatedcasino: offshore
The Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Commission regulates the sector, and the legal online perimeter covers sports betting and lotteries — online casino is not part of it, so that vertical runs offshore. The interesting part for a payment stack is how domestic the deposit rails are: Jamaica's bill-payment culture routes through Paymaster, and the bank layer is a short list of local institutions rather than international acquirers.
Rails players use
- Paymaster · voucher/cashdominantJamaica's leading bill-payment network, integrated into betting cashiers as a deposit route. A genuinely local rail that an offshore acquirer cannot reach.
- Local bank transfer (NCB, Scotiabank Jamaica, First Global) · bank-transferDirect transfers from the main Jamaican banks; the route for larger amounts.
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, JMD) · local-cardCard acceptance inside the licensed perimeter.
- Skrill and crypto · walletPresent mostly on the offshore-facing casino side that the Commission's perimeter does not cover.

Trinidad and TobagoCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, TTD)betting: regulatedcasino: regulated
The Gambling (Gaming and Betting) Control Act 2021 created the Gambling Control Commission as an independent regulator and put the whole commercial sector — casinos, gaming establishments, betting shops and machine operators — behind licences, each with its own tax treatment. The Commission has been standing the regime up since, with draft regulations published rather than a finished rulebook, so this is a market mid-build: the licensing architecture exists, the operating detail is still settling.

EthiopiaMobile money · telebirrbetting: banned-processingcasino: banned-processing
Ethiopia went from licensed to closed in eleven days. On 4 December 2025 the Ethiopian Lottery Service suspended 22 betting companies on National Intelligence and Security Service information alleging embezzlement, tax evasion and illicit transfers, with arrests and claims of more than 100 billion birr in concealed revenue; effective 15 December 2025 every licence issued by the National Lottery Administration was revoked. The order reaches the money by name: retail shops, agents, online platforms and the associated payment gateways must all stop, no new bets may be accepted, and the regulator states there are currently no legally licensed sports betting companies in Ethiopia. The rails below are what the market ran on and would run on again — mapped for the show-not-recommend case, not as a route in.
Rails players use
- telebirr · mobile-moneydominantEthio Telecom's wallet and the country's default digital rail: 54.8 million users and 2.38 trillion birr of transactions in FY2024/25 across 310,000 merchants and 320,000 agents. It carried the bulk of betting deposits, and its gateway is explicitly inside the cessation order.
- CBE Birr · mobile-moneyCommercial Bank of Ethiopia's wallet, the main bank-side alternative to telebirr on operator cashiers before the shutdown.
- HelloCash / Amole · mobile-moneySecond-tier bank wallets that appeared alongside the two majors.
- Crypto (offshore-facing) · otherThe residual rail after the revocation, on sites the regulator classifies as illegal; the Ethiopian Lottery Service has publicly warned about betting promotions in the post-ban vacuum.

DR CongoMobile money · M-Pesa (Vodacom) · Airtel Moneybetting: offshorecasino: offshore
One of Africa's largest unregulated betting markets — trade estimates put it around $1.7bn — sitting on a 1984 ordinance that historically reserves lottery and betting-pool activity to the state operator SONAL, with reform and a SONAL relaunch announced for 2026. The regulatory gap is specifically a payments gap: betting transactions are frequent, small and near-instant, they run almost entirely through a handful of mobile-money platforms, and transaction data sits behind the telecoms regulator, which limits what the gambling side can see. Concentration is the risk and the opportunity in equal measure.
Rails players use
- M-Pesa (Vodacom) · mobile-moneydominantOne of the four wallets that carry effectively the whole market; deposits and withdrawals both run here rather than through banks.
- Airtel Money · mobile-moneydominantCo-dominant with M-Pesa on operator cashiers; the pair reach players entirely outside the banked population.
- Orange Money · mobile-moneyThird of the four dominant wallets.
- Africell Money · mobile-moneySmallest of the four, but part of the same concentrated mobile-money layer.

BotswanaMobile money · Orange Moneybetting: offshorecasino: offshore
The Botswana Gambling Authority governs land-based gambling, and its online remit is thin: as of 2026 no locally licensed online sportsbook exists, so every platform serving Botswana players runs on a foreign licence, most often Curaçao. That makes this an offshore-serve market with a domestic payment layer — the reverse of the usual African pattern, where the licence comes first and the rails follow.
Rails players use
- Orange Money · mobile-moneydominantOperated by Orange under Bank of Botswana regulation and the most widely accepted rail among bookmakers serving the market — the domestic layer offshore operators actually integrate.
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, BWP) · local-cardCross-border acceptance with the decline profile of an unlicensed vertical.
- Bank transfer (BWP) · bank-transferUsed for larger amounts where the operator supports it.

NamibiaCards · Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, NAD)betting: offshorecasino: offshore
Namibia regulates on a 1990s statute that never anticipated the internet. The Casino and Gambling House Act of 1994 underpins roughly 260 gambling-house licences and three casino licences issued through the Casino Board, with no online regime attached; a draft Gaming and Entertainment Control Bill has been proposed to replace it but has not been approved. Until it is, online play runs offshore against a land-based framework that has no answer for it.
Rails players use
- Local cards (Visa / Mastercard, NAD) · local-carddominantThe Namibian dollar is pegged to the rand and South African banking reaches deep into the market, so card acceptance is the practical default on offshore sites.
- Bank transfer / EFT (NAD, ZAR) · bank-transferThe regional South African EFT habit carries over; a provider with South African rails reaches Namibia more easily than one without.
- E-wallets · walletThe usual offshore layer where cards decline.

State monopoly (Iddaa/Spor Toto); all private/offshore real-money sites illegal but a huge grey market is offshore-served. Biggest crackdown in years 2025-26: Papara licence revoked Oct 2025 then state trusteeship + CBRT daily caps, MASAK probes, banks warning against account-sharing.

TunisiaCards · Promosport channel (local cards and cash)betting: monopolycasino: banned-processing
One legal channel and an unusually explicit attack on everything else. Promosport, supervised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, is the only lawful online sports betting operator; every other site serving Tunisians is illegal, and winnings on the legal channel carry a 25% tax. A bill submitted to the Assembly of the Representatives of the People in January 2026 criminalises using and promoting unlicensed digital platforms, with one to five years' imprisonment and fines up to TND 500,000. The payments clauses are the sharpest in this taxonomy: internet providers and electronic payment firms are both legally mandated to block gambling portals and restrict the associated financial transactions, the central bank prohibits crypto betting outright, and the 2026 legislation adds AI-driven monitoring to flag and block mobile payments heading to offshore crypto gambling sites.
Rails players use
- Promosport channel (local cards and cash) · local-carddominantThe only compliant rail, and it belongs to the state operator — there is nothing here for a third-party PSP to acquire.
- Cash · voucher/cashOver-the-counter at Promosport points; also the fallback for players avoiding the monitored digital rails.
- Offshore cards and wallets · walletActively targeted: payment firms are mandated to restrict these transactions, so decline and freeze risk is a policy outcome rather than an accident.
- Crypto · otherProhibited by the central bank for betting, and specifically targeted by the 2026 AI monitoring of mobile payments to offshore crypto sites.

AlgeriaVouchers/cash · State channels (PSA lottery, PMU Algérie)betting: banned-processingcasino: banned-processing
Closed on every axis. The Civil and Penal Codes plus Law 18-05 of 2018 prohibit online casino, sports betting and poker; the Family Code, drawing on Sharia, bans games of chance generally. Legal gambling exists only as a state monopoly: the PSA lottery and the PMU Algérie horse tote. Enforcement runs at the infrastructure layer with ISP and payment blocking against offshore operators, and it tightened further in 2025 — a law criminalised using VPNs and crypto to reach offshore sites, and Law No. 25-10, signed 24 July 2025, bans the use of any cryptocurrency outright. For an operator this is not a grey market to price; it is a market with no compliant rail at all.
Rails players use
- State channels (PSA lottery, PMU Algérie) · voucher/cashdominantThe only lawful gambling money in the country, and it moves inside state operators rather than through any acquirable rail.
- Offshore cards · local-cardSubject to active payment blocking; treat attempted volume as leakage, not a channel.
- Crypto · otherBanned outright by Law No. 25-10 of 24 July 2025, and using it to reach offshore sites was separately criminalised — the rare market where the crypto fallback is itself illegal.

IsraelCards · Toto / Mifal HaPais channels (local cards, ILS)betting: monopolycasino: banned-processing
Penal Law 5737-1977 makes almost all gambling illegal, with two state-controlled exceptions: Mifal HaPais, the national lottery running since 1951 under Ministry of Finance supervision, and the Israel Sports Betting Board, whose Toto product does accept bets online through its official site. Everything else is prohibited, and the enforcement is specifically financial: ISP blocking and search-result filtering have been lawful practice since mid-2017, and local banks routinely block or restrict transactions to gambling sites. For an operator this is the clearest case in the taxonomy of a market where the payment layer, not the licence layer, is what actually stops you.
Rails players use
- Toto / Mifal HaPais channels (local cards, ILS) · local-carddominantThe only compliant rails, and both belong to state bodies — there is nothing here for a third-party PSP to acquire.
- Offshore cards · local-cardIsraeli banks block or restrict gambling-coded transactions as standard practice, so cross-border card volume is leakage with a high decline and freeze profile rather than a channel.
- E-wallets and crypto · walletThe workaround layer players use precisely because the bank layer is closed to them.

LebanonCards · USD cash and cardsbetting: monopolycasino: monopoly
A monopoly with an expiry date that lands this year. Casino du Liban in Jounieh has held the exclusive land-based licence since 1959, extended by Law No. 417 of 1995 through 2026, alongside the state lottery run by La Libanaise des Jeux — so the concession that has defined Lebanese gambling for six decades is up for renewal or reshaping right now, which is the single thing worth watching here. Online is closed on paper: in 2013 the Ministry of Justice directed internet providers to block offshore gambling sites, largely to protect the casino's revenue. In practice the blocking is inconsistent, many international platforms stay reachable, VPN use is routine, and no prosecutions of Lebanese players are documented.
Rails players use
- USD cash and cards · local-carddominantAfter the currency collapse the dollar does the work; the licensed venue quotes pound conversions at the cash desk and takes Visa and Mastercard, and dollar pricing is the norm across the economy.

IraqE-wallets · ZainCash · FastPaybetting: offshorecasino: offshore
Prohibited on paper and unenforced in practice. The 1969 Penal Code bans every form of gambling, land-based and online, but authorities do not proactively pursue it and players reach offshore sites without consequence. What makes Iraq worth mapping rather than dismissing is that a real local payment layer grew up around that traffic: telecom and fintech wallets that betting sites integrate directly, which is unusual for a market with no licensing route at all.
Rails players use
- ZainCash · walletdominantZain's Iraqi mobile wallet, launched 2018, with high transaction limits and direct integration into casino and sports-betting cashiers. The closest thing this market has to a domestic rail.

How this map is built
And how to cite it
The market layer is our own taxonomy of 103 gambling markets: for each one we grade the rails players actually deposit with (dominant, major, minor) and keep a one-paragraph regulatory note. The provider layer is the 462 local-rail records across the 77 providers in our catalog, each carrying an access grade and an evidence grade, maintained under the standards on our methodology page. Every number on this page recomputes from those two sources on every build; nothing is hand-entered.
