Online casinos in Israel
Legal status of digital casinos in Israel: illegal, players are not prosecuted
Online casinos are officially illegal in Israel, according to the Israel Penal Code1.
In fact, all forms of gambling are officially illegal in the country, only exceptions are granted to the state-owned Israeli gambling companies, these are:
- Mifal Hapayis, the national lottery company, monopoly on all lottery, bingo, keno, scratch cards, raffles
- Israel Sports Betting Board, monopoly on all forms of sports betting
As you can see, only lottery, bingo and sports betting were legalized in Israel and casino, including online casino platforms, were never legalized.
Playing in foreign online casinos is officially illegal2. However, players are not prosecuted for visiting offshore gambling websites, but it is still technically illegal.
Some foreign casino websites are blocked, but the majority of them are freely accessible. Because there are no local alternatives, there are no Israel licensed online casinos, you can only play casino games over the internet by visiting foreign casino websites.
Fun fact: For a while, interestingly, Israel had a thriving online gambling sector, despite the fact that the domestic internet gambling market is severely restricted (the companies present did not accept players from Israel, only from other countries). However, over time, many of the bigger companies (e.g.: William Hill) relocated to other countries, and the Israeli online gambling sector shrunk considerably, since 20173.
By scrolling below you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Israeli players.
Can tourists play online while visiting Israel?
Yes, tourists, expats (or illegal migrants) can play online freely while enjoying their stay in the country.

Land-based casinos in Israel
Legal status of casinos in Burkina Faso: illegal
Casinos are illegal in Israel, according to the Israeli Penal Code1.
There are no casinos in Israel and casino venues were never legal in the country.
Slot halls are also illegal.
However, many studies were actually conducted over the years to assess the potential gains of legalizing casinos2, and the social costs. These studies show significant improvements to the tourism and hospitality sector (because of the casino hotel complexes), and the legalization would also generate many casino and hospitality jobs (which are usually jobs with above average wages).
And as a result there have been talks about legalizing brick & mortar casinos3, and it is not entirely unimaginable that they will be legalized in the near future.
But for now, players, who are caught in illegal gambling dens can face up to 1 year in prison, while organizers are looking at 3 years behind the bars.
Unlike in the case of online casinos, this is very much enforced, and illegal casinos are quickly shut down.
Israel gets around 4.5 million visitors per year4. UPDATE COVID-19: these are pre-coronavirus numbers, it has fallen drastically, to 831.5 K, since the global pandemic.
If you are thinking about visiting the country, watch the video below to get an idea of what to expect:

![]() That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting. 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! |
![]() 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. |


I found a quick reference from Central Bank of Israel, there is a violation code for those who are nonresidents staying in Israel (tourist as well). Indulging themselves in gambling along with card transactions related to gambling triggers a review of that event with a reference to their penal code. It does not exclude visiting tourist on that point – if lucky only deported, or else more severe punishment 1 year prison + a large fine.
Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know. Do you have the URL? I would really love to see this as well, and then add it to the site with the next update. (Please look into your search history if you no longer remember the website, this could help a lot of people.)
