Online casinos in Qatar
Legal status of digital casinos in Qatar: illegal, players could potentially be prosecuted
Online casinos are illegal in Qatar, according to Penal Code of Qatar1.
The Penal Code of Qatar do not explicitly mention online casinos. However, all forms of gambling are illegal in the country, which includes internet casinos.
There is no way for online casinos to acquire online gambling licenses in Qatar, and consequently there are no domestic licensed digital casino platforms.
Those, who operate illegal online casinos within the borders of Qatar are punished by a fine and imprisonment, according to article 276 the penalty for organizing illegal gambling is:
“Whoever opens or runs a place for gambling, and any person who organizes any gambling games in a public place, openly or in any place or house made for this purpose Imprisonment for a term not exceeding a year in prison and/or a fine not exceeding 5000 Qatari Riyals (EUR 1350).”
Officially players, who visit illegal online casino are prosecuted as well, according to article 275 of the penal code is:
“Imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months and/or a fine not exceeding 3000 QR – Qatari Riyals (around € 800). If gambling occurs in a public place, and performed openly or in any place or house made for this purpose the imprisonment can be extended to six months and/or a fine not exceeding 6000 Qatari Riyals (EUR 1600).”
Technically, this extends to players, who visit foreign digital casino websites. However, in reality players playing in offshore online casinos are not targeted by the authorities.
This is not unique to Qatar, the situation is the same in most Muslim-majority countries. For example, leading online bookmaker Betfair admitted that they had over 700 active user from Qatar (where online gambling is similarly illegal)2, and even though this has become public information no action was taken against these players.
Another good example is from Afghanistan, where there are professional poker players, who compete in international tournaments and many of them openly admitted to playing poker online from the country (e.g.: Sherkhan Farnood, who was the Chairman of Kabul Bank until 20103, he was never prosecuted for illegal gambling).
However, the Ministry of Transport and Communications does attempt to block most gambling websites4 (despite this there are some international gambling websites, which accept players from Qatar, you can see a list of them below, and the blocking can easily be circumvented by using VPNs, IPmasks, although those are officially forbidden to use).
UPDATE 2022: Some online gambling sites are still blocked (only the biggest ones seem to be blocked5), but players, who visit these foreign gambling websites are still not prosecuted.
/Comment: If you are worried you can use VPNs, virtual wallets (e.g.: Skrill, Netteller) or cryptocurrencies for additional security, and to maintain anonymity online. However, this is not absolutely necessary, players are not targeted or fined, only illegally operating domestic gambling websites are targeted by the authorities./
UPDATE 2022: I added this section because you might be wondering:
How is it legal for online casinos to accept players from Qatar? Isn’t it illegal? It’s only illegal for Qatari citizens to play online. These foreign online gambling websites, which accept players from Qatar are registered and licensed in foreign countries, and the Qatari laws only apply within the borders of the country (within the so called jurisdiction, 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 Qatar. But it’s not legal for Qatari 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 Qatar, 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 Qatari players.
Can tourists play online while visiting Qatar?
Yes, tourists, expats, migrants can play online freely while enjoying their stay in the country.

Land-based casinos in Qatar
Legal status of casinos in Qatar: illegal, players are prosecuted
Casinos are illegal in Qatar, according to Penal Code1.
The prohibition on gambling is the result of the predominant religion of the country, Islam. Islamic law (Shari’a) was officially incorporated into the legal system. According to the Quran2 all types of gambling (maisir) are forbidden (haram) for all Muslims, because:
which rules out professional gambling.
- Professional gambling is forbidden, because Muslims must obtain wealth through hard, honest work, and not through sheer luck or games where luck plays a significant role.
- Recreational gambling is also prohibited, since it is viewed as an addictive pastime, on the same level as alcohol, and Muslims addicted to gambling (or alcohol) are believed to turn away from God and neglect their responsibilities to society and their families.
Unlike in the case of online casinos (section about digital casinos in Qatar can be found above) the ban on land-based casino is strictly enforced and both organizers of and players engaging in illegal gambling are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Consequently there aren’t any casino in Qatar, and there have never been any, ever.
The government of Qatar does not plan on legalizing casinos, because the country is already quite well off (richest country in terms of per capita income) and the hospitality and tourism sector is quite developed as it is.
Qatar is, after Dubai, synonymous with luxury and opulence (despite those things being frowned upon by the Quran).
This makes it a luxury travel destination for the rich, usually ‘born into wealth, never worked for it’, upper 10% kind of travellers.
/Comment: Which are greatly coveted by most of the leading hospitality brands, that’s why all of them maintain a presence in Doha, the capital, on the picture at the top of the page./
For this reason Qatar attracts around 2 million visitors per year6. Which is an above average figure for an Arab country, to put things into context: Qatar, with a population of 227 million people gets less than 1 million visitors per year.
/Comment: Although, in all honesty, most of the travelers are poor migrant workers from India, Nepal and Bangladesh, who are worked to death, often literally, under the kafala system3./
UPDATE COVID-19: These are pre-coronavirus numbers, it has fallen drastically because of the global pandemic, it currently stands at a measly 0.5 million per year. This naturally devasted the hospitality and tourism sector of the country.
If you are thinking about visiting the country watch the video below to get an idea of what to expect:

N/A, there aren’t any casinos in Qatar, there were never any in the country’s history.
Other forms of online gambling in Qatar
All forms of gambling, including their online versions, are outlawed in Qatar. However, despite the ban, some wagering on sports events does take place in Qatar, albeit illegally.
Various sports events, including both traditional and more modern games, have become extremely popular in Qatar.
The country is famous for its camel races as well as the Qatar International Rally; cricket has also gained a significant following in Qatar, and they host the 2022 FIFA World Cup as well.
As per the Qatari gambling laws, sports betting is also illegal. Still, despite the prohibition, there are many willing to risk a prison sentence to make a quick buck and illegal betting operations are not unheard of, according to various online sources.
However, officially, all forms of online gambling are illegal in Qatar.
You can learn more about the legal status of the various forms of offline and online gambling in Qatar here.
Bitcoin casinos Qatar
Legal status: not regulated
Cryptocurrency does not appear to be specifically regulated in the State of Qatar.
However, virtual currencies (e.g.: litecoin, bitcoin, ethereum, ripple) are banned by the Qatar Financial Center Regulatory Authority (QFCRA), this makes bitcoin gambling illegal as well.
Consequently there are no domestic bitcoin casinos in Qatar, but some foreign crypto gambling websites accept players from the country (you can see them below).
Players in theory could be prosecuted for placing bets via crypto coins on foreign websites. However, in reality, it’s not possible to trace players and their bitcoin transactions, it’s not really possible to target players and it seems like this is just scare tactics. Regardless, because of the cryptocurrency ban in Qatar we do not recommend playing in offshore bitcoin casinos from the country.
The bitcoin casinos below accept players from Qatar.

![]() 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. |
