Legal online casinos

An online casino is a digital platform that allows users to play and wager on casino games via the internet. These platforms function as the virtual equivalent of traditional 'brick-and-mortar' casinos, using software to simulate games such as slots, blackjack and roulette, or offering 'live dealer' experiences via real-time video streaming.

The online gambling industry, or iGaming, has experienced substantial global growth since the launch of the first internet-based gambling platforms in the mid-1990s. By 2026, regulated markets had become major economic contributors in Europe, North America and parts of Asia, with millions of active users participating in slots, table games and sports betting each year.
