Europe has a rich history in gambling, and the industry is legalised and heavily regulated in most countries. Traditions and strict control mean that Europe lacks some of the luster of the gambling havens like Las Vegas and Macau, but there are a large number of options for the average player. The biggest markets are the United Kingdom, Spain and Germany – most of our reviewers hail from the Albion, so if you want to hear our tips, you can head out to our dedicated page about the best casino sites in the UK right now. Alternatively, if you would like to see everything that is available on the market, then refer to our list of all gambling sites in the UK.

Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Serbia and Sweden have legalised all sorts of gambling – this covers the majority of Europe. Some of the most recognisable brands in iGaming are European online casinos and software developers. Of course, there are some exceptions. France and Iceland are two really interesting examples, as in both online casinos have been banned, but land-based casinos and other forms of gambling, such as bingo and sports betting, are considered acceptable. Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Switzerland and Ukraine have banned online gambling on paper, but nobody’s going to really care much if you gamble in foreign sites. Turkey is the only country with stricter restrictions where you should be more careful. For more details, you can check our dedicated guides to the top European online casinos
