Online gambling in UAE
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 Dubai, or 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.
