The rule in Switzerland

Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments

Switzerland lets only its land-based casinos and the lottery and betting operators supervised by Gespa run gambling online. Under the Money Gaming Act, in force since 2019, there is no standalone online license: a company needs a Swiss casino concession first and an online extension on top of it. Foreign operators are illegal and blocked. The ESBK and the intercantonal authority Gespa keep two blocking lists, which held more than 4,000 domains on August 25, 2026, with 3,567 of them on the ESBK casino list. Affiliate sites are listed alongside operators, and ISPs must DNS-filter every listed domain and redirect it to a government warning page. Tax starts at 20% of GGR up to CHF3m and scales from there, reaching as high as 80%. Licensed operators run on domestic rails, with TWINT as the dominant deposit method and bank transfers to Swiss IBANs carrying the payouts.

    local cards

    Swiss bank cards, the PostFinance card among them, are what players fall back on at operators that do not offer TWINT.
