Casinos in Moldova: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Moldova reformed its gambling industry and placed the online segment under state control: the right to offer online casinos and lotteries is reserved for the state company Loteria Naţională a Moldovei (Loteria Moldovei), effectively creating an internet monopoly. Private land-based casinos, slot halls and betting shops operate under licences and are concentrated in Chisinau and other cities. Access to illegal foreign sites may be restricted. The currency is the Moldovan leu; bank cards, transfers and local payment services are used. Taxation of winnings and of operators' activity is governed by dedicated legislation. Players should note the monopoly status of legal online gambling and choose only official platforms, avoiding unlicensed foreign operators.
