Online Gambling in Nepal

Gambling in Nepal is legal, but exclusive for tourists only. Nepalese residents are expressly prohibited from gambling in any of the eight licensed casinos in the capital city of Kathmandu.

Local police have been quite strict in enforcing the ban locals from playing in casinos. In fact many locals have been arrested and fined. Those who violated the law for the second or third time were jailed.

All casinos in Nepal are run under the Nepal Recreation Center, which enjoys a monopoly of the Nepalese casino market.

On the online gambling front, Nepal has no specific law that says it is legal or illegal for both locals and tourists to gamble online. Thus, locals and tourists readily gamble online.

For online gambling operators, Nepal does not grant online gambling licenses. And there have been no reports on whether or not the Nepalese Government will issue such licenses.
