Online casinos in Kazakhstan

Legal status of digital casinos in Kazakhstan: illegal, players are not prosecuted

 

Online casinos are officially illegal in Kazakhstan4.

While brick & mortar casinos are legal in Kazakhstan, they are restricted to the two casino gambling zones of the country (details can be seen below, above the list of Kazakh casinos).

Digital casinos, by their nature as a form of online gambling activity, are not easily compatible with this sort of restriction. Additionally, the government considers casino gambling more addictive and problematic than the other forms of gambling.

/Comment: This is categorically true, numerous studies have shown that casino gambling is the most addictive and harmful of the various types of games of chance1./ 

This is why online casino were never legalized, even though other forms of online gambling are legal in the country since 2007 (and 2016, in the case of online lottery).

While online casinos are not categorically banned in Kazakhstan, they are still technically illegal due to the general ban on unlicensed gambling.

Despite this there used to be a single online casino that seemed to contradict this. This  was the online casino platforms of Altyn Alma (Golden Apple Casino), which was  accessible both in Kazakh and Russia. However, this online gambling site closed along with its namesake casino.

It is unknown how such a casino website managed to operate in the country, the details seem to have been lost to time.

/Comment: If you know anything about the casino website of Altyn Alma City please leave a comment, thank you./

At the moment, there does not seem to be a way for online casinos (domestic or international) to acquire a Kazakhstani online casino licence despite this exception, therefore they are illegal. Consequently, there aren’t any licensed Kazakh online casinos anymore.

However, this legal situation has led to the peculiarity that players, who visit international offshore casino websites (some of them do accept players from Kazakhstan, a list of them can be seen below) are not prosecuted, and according to various interpretations of the law these people do not even commit any crime.

The ISPs (internet service providers) of Kazakhstan do block some of these international online casinos2, although, it seems like only the biggest digital casinos are blocked.

UPDATE 2022: I added this section because you might be wondering:

How is it legal for online casinos to accept players from Kazakhstan? Isn’t it illegal?

It’s only illegal for Kazakh citizens to play online. These foreign online gambling websites, which accept players from Kazakhstan are registered and licensed in foreign countries, and the Kazakhstani laws only apply within the borders of Kazakhstan (within the so called jurisdiction of the country, they do not apply to these foreign gambling websites).

According to the local gambling laws of the countries in which these offshore gambling companies operate, it’s perfectly legal to accept players from Kazakhstan.

But it’s not legal for Kazakh citizens to place bets on these platforms.

International law can be complicated, and enforcement is even more tricky, I hope this clears this up.

However, I officially do not recommend playing online from Kazakhstan, it’s illegal, and you should always act according to the laws of your country, even if it’s not enforced, play at your own risk.

By scrolling below you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Kazakh players.

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Kazakhstan?

Yes, tourists, expats (or illegal migrants) can play online freely while enjoying their stay in the country.

 

Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Kazakhstan: N/A, online casino licenses are not issued in Kazakhstan.

Land-based casinos in Kazakhstan

Legal status of casinos in Kazakhstan: legal since 1999, operators require a licence, restricted to the gambling zones since 2007

 

Casinos are legal in Kazakhstan since 1999.

Between 1999 – 2007 the Kazakh casino sector had its golden age, and there were hundreds of slot halls and casinos in Kazakhstan by the end of 2006.

/Comment: Initially slot halls were legal too, not just casinos.

Explanation: The difference between between casinos and slot halls:

  • Slot hall definition: These types of venues only contain gaming machines, and they are usually smaller than casinos.
  • Casino definition: Bigger than slot halls and electronic casinos, often attached to a hotel or a resort complex. They have gaming machines + electronic tables + live dealer tables, roulette wheels with croupiers and card games (banking and non-banking)./

However, sadly, this low-regulation and low-tax environment also attracted nefarious individuals and businessmen with organized crime connections1, which caused serious issues with money laundering, corruption, institutionalized tax evasion and gambling addiction.

In 2007 the gambling legislation was overhauled completely, with the creation of law No. 157-IV Об игорном бизнесе 2007, a.k.a. the 2007 Gambling Law2, to address these very serious concerns. And Law No. 157-IV is the main piece of the gambling legislation even to this day.

Since 2007 casinos are restricted to the two casino zones of Kazakhstan. In accordance with paragraph 1 of article 11 of the gambling act, casino gambling venues are restricted to:

  1. the Almaty region, on the coast of Kapshagai reservoir (Almatinskaya oblast),
  2. and to the Shchuchyn district of the Akmola region (Akmolinskaya oblast).

 

Interesting fact: This is a direct copy of the Russian casino model. Kazakhstan was formerly a part of the USSR and has a sizeable Russian population even to this day, therefore it’s not surprising that they decided to copy their neighbours gambling regulatory model.

Additionally slot halls are no longer legal, only casinos attached to hotels can be operated by licensed companies.

/Comment: The reason why casinos need to be attached to hotels is that casino hotels are known to contribute to the development of the tourism and hospitality sector significantly more than just standalone casinos3. And Kazakhstan does not a boost to its tourism sector, because the sizeable country only gets around 2 million visitors per year4 (UPDATE COVID-19: pre-coronavirus numbers, has fallen considerably because of the global pandemic)./

The first casino to open after 2007 was Casino Flamingo in Kapchagay, which opened in 2008.

There are 13 casinos in Kazakhstan currently, UPDATE COVID-19: 12 casinos, Altyn Alma City closed because of the global pandemic (you can see a picture of this casino at the top of the page, the name means Golden Apple in English). You can find all of the currently operating Kazakh casinos in the list below.

The biggest casino in Kazakhstan currently is Cash Ville Casino, which is located in the five-star Rixos Borove Hotel & Resort in Burabay.

$500 must be exchanged for casino chips to enter any of the Kazakh casinos.

You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.

 

Can locals visit the casinos in Kazakhstan?

Yes, both locals and tourist can visit the casinos in the country. Which is unusual for a Muslim-majority country, in quite a few Muslim countries only tourists can visit the casinos, the locals are forbidden to play in the gaming venues (e.g: Egypt).

 

Casino licensing and regulatory body of Kazakhstan:

The The Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Republic of Kazakhstan is responsible for issuing licences to brick & mortar casinos.

You have to contact them if you wish to set up any sort of gambling establishment in Kazakhstan. Their website is available in English as well (although the translation is not very good, there is an abundance of “engrish” on the website), and it’s possible to apply for a casino licence digitally as well, on the Platform for Electronic licensing of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Taxation of brick & mortar gambling establishments in Kazakhstan: 

There is no unified federal gambling tax system in Kazakhstan. The gambling tax rates are set on a provincial level.

They are usually fixed fees, instead of a performance based taxation regime, which is the more common in the world.

The usual tax per betting shop is around 300, 000 KZT.

According to the Kazakh Tax Code, Article 266., gambling businesses are taxed based on:

  • the number of gambling tables;
  • number of gambling machine;
  • number of totalizer cash-desk;
  • number of bookmaker office cash-desk.

 

UPDATE 2022: Gambling taxes are expected to double in 20226. The government is trying to reduce the number of gambling establishments in the country by deliberately overtaxing them.

 

For the players, taxation of casino winnings in Kazakhstan: Casino gambling winnings are taxable only if they exceed ‘5 monthly calculation indices’ (€30, 15 000 KZT), in a tax year, in that case personal income tax applies, according to the Article 144, paragraph 7 of the Tax Code of The republic of Kazkhstan7.

UPDATE 2022: 1 monthly calculation index in Kazakhstan in 2022 is 3063 KZT (Kazakhstani Tenge, the national currency of Kazakhstan), approximately €5, changes every year.

Casinos in the Akmolinskaya gambling zone:

Akmolinskaya oblast only has 1 casino currently.

 

1., Cash Ville Casino
This is a picture of Cash Ville Casino & Poker Club at night with a lit neon sign at the front entrance. This is the first casino on this list of all Kazakhstani casinos. This is the biggest casino (in terms of number of games) in Kazakhstan right now. You can read more about this gaming venue to the right of the picture: its' address, opening hours, dress code, entrance fee, and you can watch a video of the venue as well.

Cash Ville Casino

Cash Ville Casino, address: Юго-восточное побережье, озеро “Щучье, Shchuchinsk, Borove Resort, in Rixos Borove Hotel & Resort, Burabay, 021700

The official full name is Cash Ville Casino & Poker Club, emphasizing that Cash Ville has the biggest poker room in all of Kazakhstan (which is true).

The casino is attached to the five-star Rixos Borove Hotel & Resort in Burabay.

This is the biggest casino of Kazakhstan right now. The company, which operates the casino, East Casino Management, owns the three biggest Kazakhstani casinos, namely:

  • Bombay Casino
  • Astoria Casino
  • Cashville Casino (this one)

 

East Casino Management (ECM) is Kazakhstan’s biggest casino operator, and their casinos are universally recognized as the best in the country (they have the highest ratings based on online reviews, see below, at the review analysis section).

All ECM casinos are very expensive posh places, not suitable for backpackers or for anyone on a budget (e.g: minimum amount of casino chips a payer must purchase to enter is $500, they only allow you to paly at the tables if you have $300 on SUN/MON/TUE/WED/THURS and $500 on FRI/SAT, and you can only play slots if you have $50), expect a dress code at each venue (see below, at the dress code section).

 

Games: around 100 gaming machines (slots, video poker, Novomatic, EGT, not that good machines, usually 5+ years old, good quality but not the best, expected better from a casino that positions itself as a high roller only exclusive casino club), and around 50 tables (blackjack, American Roulette, Baccarat, Oasis, Oasis 1-2-5, Russian Poker*, Texas Hold’em) + electronic roulette machines (Alfastreet)

They have a poker section as well, with 5 tables (more during tournaments, World Series Poker Tournaments were held here as well), but sadly there is no online tournament schedule and there is no information about the cash games on their website, despite heavily advertising that this is the biggest poker room in Kazakhstan, very unfortunate.

They also have multiple VIP rooms.

 

*Russian poker explanation, tutorial, how to play:  A game popularized by the occupying Russian soldiers stationed in the former USSR countries. If you want to know how to play Russian poker, then watch the following step by step video tutorial:

$500 must be exchanged for casino chips to enter the casino.

 

Games: around 70 gaming machines (slots, video poker, Novomatic, EGT, Merkur, okay machines, but not exceptional, Merkur machines are not very good), and around 35 tables (blackjack, American Roulette, Baccarat, Oasis, Oasis 1-2-5, Russian Poker, Moscow Poker*, Texas Hold’em) + electronic roulette machines (Alfastreet)

They also have multiple VIP rooms.

 

*Moscow poker explanation, tutorial, how to play: It’s unknown what they meant by Moscow Poker, there isn’t any widespread casino game by that name (it might be Durak a.k.a. Makaó, but Durak is not a casino game). It’s probably a homebrew, local card game. Sadly they have no information about it on their official website. If you are familiar with this casino and you know what Moscow Poker is please leave a comment.

Bombay Casino is one of the 3 casinos of East Casino Management (ECM), you can see the other two above this one. This casino is located in Kapchagay, similarly to Astoria Casino, and it is also attached to a hotel.

Additionally, all ECM casinos are covered in decorative LED lights, have similar brands of slots, tables, the same opening hours and a minimum bet amount.

They have a required minimum amount casino chips a player must have to play at the tables, from Saturday to Sunday, and it is $300, and $50 in the slots area (all week).

This is a picture of the front entrance of Casino Makao in Kapchagay. You can read more about this gaming venue to the right of the picture: its' address, opening hours, dress code, entrance fee, and you can watch a video of the venue as well.

Casino Makao

Casino Makao, address: Industrialnaya st., 2a, Kapchagay

Tull official name is Macau Cas (casino is often shortened to cas by Kazakh speakers), but it is also called Macau Casino (the English spelling), or just Makao (named after the Las Vegas of China, the special administrative region of Macau).

The casino is owned by a Chinese company, which is active in Macau.

Sadly, the website of the casino has very little actually useful information at the time of writing, no info about number of games, not even opening hours, just moronic marketing buzzwords (e.g.: “Macau Casino in Kapchagay is famous for its combination of relaxation and real game enjoyment”). It’s also not even available in English or Chinese, only in Russian. All the info below comes from secondary sources, casino listing websites, casino directories, reviews therefore I can not guarantee they are 100% accurate.

This is one best looking casino, in terms of interior, and probably has the best slot machines in all of Kazakhstan.

$500 must be exchanged for casino chips to enter the casino.

 

Games: around 100 gaming machines (slots, video poker, Atronic, Novomatic, Bally, Mega Jack and WMS, most likely the best machines in all of Kazakhstan), and around 35 tables (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Oasis, Stud, Texas Hold’em and various other forms of poker) + an unknown number of electronic roulette machines

They have a poker section (not a separate room), with around 2-3 tables (based on pictures), but sadly there is no information about it anywhere online, no tournament schedule or info about the cash games.

They also have 4 VIP rooms, which are Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau themed.

This is a picture of the front entrance of Casino Flamingo in Kapchagay, Kazakhstan. You can read more about this gaming venue to the right of the picture: its' address, opening hours, dress code, entrance fee, and you can watch a video of the venue as well.

Casino Flamingo

Casino Flamingo, address: 9/6, Industrialnaya Str., 040800, Kapchagay

Casino Flamingo was the first casino to open in Kazakhstan after the establishment of the two casino zones. The venue opened its doors in 2008.

It’s the uglies casino in he country currently, and it has old machines and just really bad interior decoration. It didn’t keep pace with the newcomers just right next door, but it’s cheap and doesn’t not have a dress code or a minimum bet amount like the others. Despite this I suspect this casino will be the next one to close.

Even their website is really ugly and outdated (and displays a huge safety warning when you try to visit it, I don’t recommend visiting it, probably infected with some virus, at the time of writing).

$500 must be exchanged for casino chips to enter the casino.

 

Games: around 50 gaming machines (slots, video poker, really old machines, probably the worst slots in Kazakhstan right now), and around 30 tables (punto banco, blackjack, roulette, various other forms of poker, officially they have 38 tables, but I doubt they have more than 30)

They have a poker section, but sadly there is no information about it anywhere online, no tournament schedule or info about the cash games.

They also have a VIP room.

 

Video of Casino Flamingo:

There are no videos of this casino online.

 

Opening hours: 24/7

Other forms of online gambling in Kazakhstan

Apart from online casino gambling most other main forms of online gambling are legal in Kazakhstan, namely:

  • online sports betting
  • online lottery
  • online bingo
  • online keno

 

Interestingly online poker is also not legal, because poker is considered a from of casino gambling.

You can read more about the legal status of gambling in Kazakhstan here.

 

Bitcoin casinos in Kazakhstan

Legal status: not specifically regulated, de facto illegal since 2020

 

Cryptocurrency gambling is not specifically addressed by the gambling legislation of Kazakhstan.
However, bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, ripple and other cryptocurrencies are de facto illegal since 2020, according to Law No. 347-VI On Amending Legislative Acts Concerning the Regulation of Digital Technologies*.

This makes it impossible for licensed legally operating Kazakhstani gambling companies to accept virtual currencies.

The only exception are offshore gambling websites with a Kazakhstani online gambling licence, because this law does not extend to them, and they also do not exchange or use crypto coins directly. These websites exchange digital currencies through third-party exchange apps (which usually operate out of offshore tax havens). Right now this is the only way Kazakh players can legally place bets using alternative digital currencies

The bitcoin casinos below accept players from Kazakhstan.

Thank you for visiting:
This is a selfie of the author and owner of Simon's Casino Gambling Blog, me, Simon András Péter, a.k.a. by the internet pseudonym SimonTheSorcerer, owner of Simon's Online Marketing Kft. This is the homepage of my online casino gambling blog, you can see what's on the website, the links to all the different sections of the website.

That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting.

Don't worry, this is not an ad! ;) Just wanted to make sure to tell you that I'm glad you visited this gambling blog. I'm Simon, the only author and the man behind this blog (if you are interested, my unusual life story can be found on the homepage, under the "About me" dropdown section).
I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that).
Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you!

Logo of Kiva.org. You can read about my non-profit activity right next to the picture.
Charity: As a way to help others, to give back, I sometimes donate to Kiva. If you click on the ads on the website, I make some money. And in a good month, if I make more than my expenses, I donate to people and projects on Kiva.
Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you!
