Restricted countries by licence
Pick a licence to see what you must geo-block — or pick a country to see which licences let you serve it.
Illustrative and simplified. Real restricted lists run to dozens of countries, change often, and depend on your product, payment methods and terms. “Local licence required” marks major regulated markets where an offshore licence is not enough. Always confirm the current list with the regulator or a licensing adviser before you set geo-blocking.
Which countries you can and cannot serve
Every gambling licence comes with a geo-blocking obligation. Some countries are prohibited under the terms of the licence itself; others prohibit inbound online gambling under their own law; and a large group are commercially restricted because payments, marketing or banking do not work there in practice. This tool works both ways: pick a licence to see the countries you must block under it, or pick a country to see which licences let you serve it and on what terms. It is a starting point for a geo-blocking policy, not a legal opinion.
Prohibited, regulated, grey and open
Countries fall into rough categories. Prohibited: online gambling is illegal and enforced — you must geo-block. Regulated: legal but only with a local licence, so an offshore operator cannot serve them compliantly. Grey: no clear prohibition and no local regime, which many operators serve but with real legal and payment risk. Open: no restriction beyond your own licence terms. This list reflects the common industry read; enforcement, payment-provider policy and the law itself change often, so treat a country's status as a prompt to get local advice, especially before spending on marketing there.
