Lithuania

Introduction

Lithuania was one of the first Baltic nations to regulate online gambling comprehensively. Since the Gambling Law reform in 2016, licensed operators are allowed to offer remote gambling services, creating a well-structured legal environment.

The Gambling Supervisory Authority ensures full compliance with local laws. Licensed platforms must use the .lt domain, operate transparently, and implement tools to prevent underage gambling.

A national blacklist of illegal operators is enforced by ISPs, and marketing is tightly regulated — TV, radio, and digital ads face significant limitations. Additionally, all licensed providers must participate in the national responsible gambling initiative.

Lithuania’s clear legislation, licensing transparency, and strict enforcement have made it a model for other EU countries considering local regulatory frameworks.

International operators continue to show interest in the Lithuanian market, especially due to its stability, centralized oversight, and growing digital economy.

Although the country maintains firm control, the legal system remains open to foreign applications, provided they meet all security, financial, and technical standards.
