Casinos in Kazakhstan: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Kazakhstan restricts land-based casinos to two gambling zones: near Kapchagay (close to Almaty) and in the resort area of Shchuchinsk in the north of the country. Outside them, casinos are banned. Online casinos are not legalised — only licensed sports betting and the totalisator may be offered legally, while access to illegal gambling sites is blocked by the relevant authority. Reforms are under discussion, including tighter controls and restrictions for certain categories of citizens. The currency is the Kazakhstani tenge; bank cards and transfers are used, though banks may restrict transactions to illegal operators. Winnings are governed by tax legislation. Players should note that online casinos are outside the legal framework, while legal land-based gambling is concentrated in the two zones.
