This is a guide to brick and mortar as well as online casinos in Guadeloupe (insular region of France, an overseas department, located in the Leeward Islands, part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean, with around 396,000 residents). Find out which are the best casinos and online casino sites in Guadeloupe, or learn more about the legal status of casino gambling in the country.
Online casinos in Guadeloupe
Legal status of online casino gambling: illegal, but players can play freely online and are not prosecuted due to EU gambling legislation, Article 56 TFEU
Guadeloupe consists of two larger islands, Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, as well as 3 smaller islands that are Guadeloupean dependencies. All of Guadeloupe is an overseas region of France, which means the islands are officially part of France. When it comes to overseas regions, French casino gambling laws apply automatically, but these can be adapted to suit the region’s needs.
Guadeloupe has not decided to make any changes to the France online casino laws, so they apply in full within the territory. France legalised online gambling in 2010,according to Law 2010-476 2010*. but in a rather limited way, and it didn’t include online casinos. The French government is of the opinion that online casino gambling is more addictive than other forms of gambling, so all traditional luck-based casino games are banned.
This means that most forms of online casino gambling are illegal in Guadeloupe. As a result, there are no licensed online casino operators in Guadeloupe or France. Unlicensed domestic online casino operators are heavily fined, and some of the biggest international online casino sites may be blocked by ISPs (even though that is against EU laws, it’s not a settled issue yet). However, there are no laws that would actually ban players visiting online casinos, and players can play freely online. In fact, because there are no local, licensed alternatives, playing in these offshore online casinos is actually pretty common in France and its territories. According to studies (sources below), millions of players, at least 50% of people who play online visit unlicensed offshore online casinos regularly**.
No player has ever been fined or prosecuted for this. This is true for all EU countries and their territories, EU gambling laws dictate, that according to Freedom to provide services — Article 56 TFEU***: if a country does not provide any means for foreign online casinos to acquire licenses, then they can not punish or block these gambling websites or players who visit them.
As a result, Guadeloupian players are free to visit any of the international online casino sites (but very few actually accepts players from French territories, you can see a list of them below, if they are blocked, or no longer accept players from the territory, please let me know, so I can update the lists, thank you).
There is pressure on France from the European Union to legalise online casino gambling and stop the blocking of these websites, and should that happen, online casinos would become legal in Guadeloupe as well, but to date, no steps have been taken towards legalisation.
Can tourists play online while visiting Guadeloupe?
Yes, the laws of the country only apply to citizens and lawful permanent residents, if you are a tourist (or a non-citizen expat, or illegal), you can play online freely while enjoying your vacation.
Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Guadeloupe:
N/A, online casino licenses are not issued.

Taxation of online casino sites in Guadeloupe:
N/A, no online casino taxation system is in place.
For the players, taxation of gambling winnings in Guadeloupe:
Gambling winnings over €1500 are taxable, 12% tax rate. However, licensed domestic companies are required to pay taxes on your winnings, not you. Therefore, as long as you play in a licensed establishment, you don’t have to pay any taxes (it’s automatically deducted from your winnings).
However, if you play abroad, or online, and if you win over €1500, you would have to pay taxes on it.
/In reality, this is rarely enforced, but if you win a really big amount, e.g.: €100 000+, I would certainly suggest paying taxes on it, otherwise you can get into a lot of trouble. Of course, I advise paying taxes on your winnings all the time, not paying taxes is illegal, but realistically, it’s not really enforced when it comes to small amounts./

Land-based casinos in Guadeloupe
Legal status of brick & mortar casinos: legal requires a licence from L’Autorité nationale des Jeux – ANJ, the French casino licensing and regulatory authority
Unlike online casinos, land-based casinos are legal in Guadeloupe and in France. Guadeloupe has adopted the French gambling laws when it comes to brick & mortar casinos. This means that casinos need a license to operate, a French gambling license (Guadeloupe doesn’t has is own regulatory and licensing body), and they must be attached to hotels. No separate slot hall or poker club licence, they also need a casino licence.
Practically all the main forms of table games are legal in Guadeloupe, as well as slot machines. The types of games allowed in licensed casinos is regulated by Article D321-13*. Many of the popular casino games actually originate from France, and have French names to this day.
There are 2 casinos in the region: Casino de Saint-François and Casino de Gosier, both are owned by Groupe Cogit.
UPDATE COVID-19: Sadly, these French islands were also not spared from the global coronavirus pandemic, and because of the country’s strong reliance on tourism (around 15% of the GDP*) it was severely effected, but so far, this has not resulted in any casino bankruptcies (at the time of writing).
The largest casino in Guadeloupe is the Casino du Gosier. Casino du Gosier has over one hundred slot machines, as well as several gaming tables. Even though this is the island nation’s biggest casino, by international standard it is still considered a small casino.
You can find all the currently operating casinos in the list below.
Can locals visit the casinos in Guadeloupe?
Yes, locals can visit the casinos too, not just tourists.
Casino licensing and regulatory body of Guadeloupe:
Guadeloupe doesn’t have its own gambling regulatory and licensing authority. Instead, games of chance, online licenses and land-based gambling licensing is handled by the French regulatory agencies.
Betting activities have traditionally been divided between the Pari Mutuel Hippodrome (PMH) and the Pari Mutuel Urbaine (PMU). Lottery, as well as some lottery-style games such as bingo, are in the hands of Francaise des Jeux (FDJ).
Online gambling and the licensing of brick & mortar gambling houses are the domain of by the Autorité de régulation des jeux en ligne (ARJEL) UPDATE: L’Autorité nationale des Jeux ANJ, which replaces ARJEL as the regulatory authority of most forms of gambling and online gambling from 2020. You have to contact them if you want to set up a gambling establishment, or get an online gambling license.
Online gambling has been legal and regulated in France and its overseas territories. Three forms of gambling are currently permitted to be conducted online by licensed private companies:
- sports betting,
- poker,
- and horse race betting.
UPDATE: The licensing process, fees, procedures were overhauled entirely in 2019, during the implementation of PACTE Act. The whole process is now more business friendly, fees are lower, and it is streamlined, the document, which lists all the changes, is attached below.**

Taxation of brick & mortar gambling establishments in Guadeloupe:
French gambling taxes apply, which are extremely high:
Gambling tax in France and overseas territories (tax base is gross gaming revenue, from 2020 onwards, annual):
- 37.7% horse racing tax
- 40.8% online poker tax
- 55.2% online sports betting tax
- 44.5% retail sports betting tax
- lottery tax is 54.5% and the tax on other lottery like games (bingo, keno, raffles) is 42%
Gaming clubs (special type of casino, VIP, entrance fee, dress code):
-
10% of revenue, up to EUR100,000.
-
30% of revenue, EUR100,000 – EUR1,500,000.
-
40% of revenue, EUR1,500,000 – EUR2,600,000.
-
55% of revenue, EUR2,600,000 – EUR5,500,000.
-
70% of revenue, above EUR5,500,000
Casinos, it’s 28% first + the following progressive tax on the remainder, based on annual gross gaming revenue:
- Up to EUR100,000: 6%.
- EUR100,001 and EUR200,000: 16%.
- EUR200,001 and EUR500,000: 25%.
- EUR500,001 and EUR1 million: 37%.
- EUR1,000,001 and EUR1.5 million: 47%.
- EUR1,500,001 and EUR4.7 million: 58%.
- EUR4,700,001 and EUR7.8 million: 63.3%.
- EUR7,800,001 and EUR11 million: 67.6%.
- EUR11,000,001 and EUR14 million: 72%.
- EUR14 million: 83.5%
If this wasn’t enough, a 11.2% tax is paid on the 68% of the gross gambling revenue from slot machines.
In addition, every gambling establishments has to pay a 13.7% withholding tax on any winnings by players equal to or exceeding EUR 1,500 (this is because gambling winnings over €1500 are taxable in France and players never paid taxes on them, so now casinos have to).
As you can see, it’s incredibly high, the highest gambling tax rate in all of the world!
Keep in mind, that this gambling tax is paid on top of regular, corporate tax (can be as high as 31%), and taxes paid on the wages of employees (of course some of it is deductible, but still). In fact, with this crazy system, it’s possible for a casinos to get really close to a 100% effective tax rate.
For the players, taxation of gambling winnings in Guadeloupe:
Gambling winnings over €1500 are taxable, 12% tax rate. However, licensed domestic companies are required to pay taxes on your winnings, not you. Therefore, as long as you play in a licensed establishment, you don’t have to pay any taxes (it’s automatically deducted from your winnings).
However, if you play abroad, or online, and if you win over €1500, you would have to pay taxes on it.
/In reality, this is rarely enforced, but if you win a really big amount, e.g.: €100 000+, I would certainly suggest paying taxes on it, otherwise you can get into a lot of trouble. Of course, I advise paying taxes on your winnings all the time, not paying taxes is illegal, but realistically, it’s not really enforced when ti comes to small amounts./

This is a list of the three currently operating casinos in Guadeloupe with address, opening hours, number and types of games, dress code, entrance fee, reviews and a video of each gambling establishment.
Casino du Gosier, address: 43 Pointe de la Verdure Le Gosier, 97190
By far the largest casino in the region, this is the casino on the picture at the top of the page. This is also the best looking casino now, after the renovations, redesign (the new look can be see on the picture at the top of the page, and the previous, simpler look is visible on the picture to the left). Sadly, the casino has no English website, only a French one, which is quite an oversight, considering the reliance on tourism, not all of the tourists visiting the island come from France (although, most are).
Games: around 150 gaming machines (slots+video poker), around 10 tables (roulette, blackjack, 6 poker tables- Three Card Poker and Caribbean Stud)
The casino also has a poker room with around 5 tables.

Guadeloupe used to have 3 casinos, but La Caravelle Hotel & Casino in Sainte-Ann, which was the oldest casino on the islands =established in 1970, it was also the smallest casino, was renamed and rebranded to Club Med La Caravelle, which no longer has a casino.
Cryptocurrency, bitcoin casinos in Guadeloupe
Cryptocurrency gambling is not specifically regulated in Guadeloupe or France. It’s unknow if any of the 3 casinos on the islands accept any litecoin, bitcoin, ethereum or any cryptocurrency. They do not have any info about this on their websites or social media profiles. If you have been to the any of the casinos above, and you know whether they accept crypto or not, please drop a comment at the botom of the page, thank you.
Other forms of online gambling in Guadeloupe
While traditional online casino gambling is not allowed in Guadeloupe, some forms of online gambling are legal. Online gambling was legalised in France in 2010, but only in a very limited way. There are three forms of online gambling that are legal in France, and therefore in Guadeloupe as well: online sports betting, online poker, and online horse racing betting.
Online sports betting is legal in Guadeloupe, but there are also land-based options, including the race track Hippodrome Karukéra. Only licensed online sports betting operators may offer their services legally in Guadeloupe. They need not be licensed separately in Guadeloupe: as it is considered a part of France, a French online gambling licence is sufficient.
Online poker is also legal in Guadeloupe. Similarly to online sports betting, an online gambling licence is required. Guadeloupean gamblers can play on French online poker sites, but these are fenced off from the international online poker player pool.
Online lottery is a monopoly of the French Lottery company FDJ (Française des Jeux).
The following online gambling websites accept players from Guadeloupe:

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! |
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
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! By being on this site, you agree to terms and conditions, and privacy policy. You must be at least 18, and if you are a gambling addict, or a citizen of Hungary, please leave the site. |
