Gambling in all forms is strictly prohibited in the United
Arab Emirates. There are no land based casinos, sports betting shops and
despite the region's love of horse racing, no wagering. The prohibitive
stance toward gambling is imposed across all mediums including the internet, and
authorities take an active approach to blocking websites that offer material
deemed to be illegal in the UAE. ISP's take instruction from authorities as well
as resident suggestions for which sites should be blocked - and the filter is
broad, including pornography, gambling, anti-Islamic material and even dating
websites.
While most residents of the UAE will likely not be able to
access gambling websites, those living in and around the
Jebal Ali free zone (eg
Emirate Hills area) may find that access is available due to the more relaxed
regulations applying to these areas.
In any case, if you are in a region of UAE where your
ISP does not actively block access to any of the below casinos, they (the
casinos) do not prohibit UAE players.
