Pakistan is an Islamic nation and the Islamic laws are in the country’s constitution. Islam forbids any kind of gambling because the Quran says that it is evil and has ill effects on social life. Therefore, there are no legal land-based casinos in Pakistan. There are many illegal gambling dens in the country but anyone who participates in gambling can face jail time. Online gambling is illegal as well because it counts as operating a gambling den and the penalty can be jail time because it is considered a serious offense.

The lottery is the most common form of gambling in the world. Almost every country where gambling is legal has some form of lottery. In Pakistan, any form of gambling is illegal due to the teachings of the Quran, and that includes the lottery too. So there is no actual Pakistani lottery at all. The closest thing to the lottery in Pakistan are the prize bonds. Basically, the player has to make an investment in different valued gold ranging from Rs. 200 to Rs. 40,000. The award depends on the bond’s value the player invested in. Drawing occurs on a quarterly basis in Pakistan.

Prize bonds are not considered a form of gambling, and therefore they are legal in Pakistan. However, online lotteries (foreign online lotteries included) are illegal.

Bitcoin is a digital currency often referred to as a “cryptocurrency” invented by Satoshi Nakamoto back in 2008. Bitcoin became a popular alternative paying option since its inception and it doesn’t seem to stop gaining ground around the world.

The Bitcoin gambling is another way to make use of this currency especially due to its anonymous nature. In Pakistan, there are no specific laws concerning Bitcoin or Bitcoin gambling (like in many other nations as of now). However, it is safe to say that if it is a form of gambling then it is illegal and players are prosecuted.
