Across borders

A foreign licence does not settle a local question.

Permission can depend on the country, gambling product, operator and physical location. Use the national guide first, then explore the concepts shared across markets.

Understand the licensing distinction →

There is no single EU casino licenceCheck the official regulator's records for the exact operator, domain and game. A familiar brand or foreign licence does not establish local permission.Travelling across Europe with a gambling accountCheck residence, physical location, product permission and account terms before travelling. Opening an account in one country does not permit play everywhere.Bonus records and tax questions across bordersKeep gambling and bonus records for the applicable national tax rules. Residence, game, licence and payment type can matter across different EU countries.When a bonus stops being entertainmentRecognise gambling warning signs and find independent support. A bonus deadline or unfinished wagering target should never delay a decision to stop.
