Online casinos in Turkmenistan

Legal status of digital casinos in Turkmenistan: illegal since 2016, players are not prosecuted

 

Online casino gambling is technically illegal since 2016, according to the Law on Advertising1.

This law originally meant to ban gambling advertisements in various media, including the internet. However, it also had the effect of banning online gambling entirely (because an online casino is considered gambling related content, a form of online gambling advertisement, not possible for Turkmen casino companies to maintain any sort of online platform).

Additionally, the dominant religion of Turkmenistan is Islam (as much as 93% of the population is Muslim). The Quran clearly prohibits gambling (maisir), which is forbidden (haram) for all true Muslims.

Despite the Sharia laws brick & mortar casinos are actually legal in the country since 1999 (details can be found in the section about land-based casinos below).

There are no domestic Turkmen online casinos.

Some of the foreign online casino websites are blocked , although the internet censorship in the country targets primarily local Turkmen political and religious content2 (most gambling websites are not blocked, we just tested it with a VPN). In fact, because only 33% of the population has access to the internet this online casino ban is not enforced.

/Comment: Additionally, private internet connections are prohibitively expensive, only the upper class can afford them (faster internet connections cost an unbelievable 5000 Turkmenistan manats – approx. € 1300, $ 1500, monthly)./

Players, who play in foreign online casinos are not targeted by the authorities, but it’s technically illegal. 

As a result, some international online casinos welcome players from Turkmenistan (you can see a list of them below). Some of them are available in Russian, but none of them are available in Turkmen, the official language of the country.

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

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

It’s only illegal for Turkmenistan citizens to play online. These foreign online gambling websites, which accept players from Turkmenistan are registered and licensed in foreign countries, and the Turkmen 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 Turkmenistan.

But it’s not legal for Turkmen 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 Turkmenistan, 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 Turkmen players.

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Turkmenistan?

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

 

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

Land-based casinos in Turkmenistan

Legal status of casinos in Turkmenistan: legal since 1999, players are not prosecuted

 

Casinos are legal in Turkmenistan, according to the Law on Licensing of Some Types of Activity1 ( ЗАКОН ТУРКМЕНИСТАНА О лицензировании отдельных видов деятельности – новая редакция, and its amendments), which is the main piece of the gambling legislation.

Despite this the casinos sector is very underdeveloped.

At the moment there are only three casinos in the country:

  • the Ak-Altin Casino (on the picture on the top of the page);
  • Grand Casino (the biggest casino in Turkmenistan);
  • and the Florida Club, British Pub & Casino.

 

All three gambling establishments are considered small by international standards, and they are located in the capital of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat. You can find them in the casino list below.

The primary reasons why there are only 3 casinos in the country are the following:

  • majority of the population is adherent of Islam;
  • poverty, despite the oil riches the country is still relatively poor;
  • obscurity, and the extremely low number of visitors (only 10,0000 tourists per year2, in fact there are so few visitors that most of the main tourists attractions have been closed3);

 

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

 

Can locals visit the casinos in Turkmenistan?

Yes, both locals and tourists are allowed to enter the casinos.

 

Casino licensing and regulatory body of Turkmenistan:

The licensing process, requirements and fees can be found here: Law on Licensing of Some Types of Activity (unofficial English translation).

We tried to find, which government body is responsible for the gambling licensing but it seems like it is not specified, the best information we can provide is the following (from the Law on Licensing, unofficial translation):

“Article 7. Authorities of state bodies, issuing licences.

1.,The state bodies, issuing licences carry out the next authorities:

  • licensing at the territory of Turkmenistan according to the present Law and other normative and legal acts which came into force before the present Law came into force;
  • control of the observance of licence requirements and conditions by the juridical and physical persons who received licences;
  • holding up of the power of licences and their annulment;
  • re-registration of licences;
  • reforming and holding registry of licences.

2. State bodies, realising the authorities stipulated by the present article are determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan.”

/Comment: If you are thinking: “this is absolutely not helpful” – yes, you are right, it is not. Good luck! ;) This is the best we could find, if you find out, which government body one needs to contact to get a gambling licence (or into which pocket you need to put an envelope…) please let us know. Thank you./

 

Additionally, the licensing requirements according the the unofficial English translation are the following:

“Article 11. The order of issue of a licence.
To receive the licence, the applicant of the licence presents the next documents to the state body issuing the licence: 

 

  • application on issuing of the licence indicating: the name and organisational and legal form of the juridical person, the place of its location, the name of the bank and the numbers of payment account in the bank, statistical and tax codes;
  • last name, name and middle name of the individual businessman, the information from the document identifying his personality;
  • kind of activity, which the juridical person or individual businessman intend to carry out he indication of the time during which the indicated kind of activity will be carried out;
  • for juridical persons – the copies of the certificate on state documents and the copy of the certificate on state registration of the applicant of a licence as a juridical person, certified by the notary;
  • for individual businessmen – the copy of the certificate on state registration of the citizen as an individual businessman, certified by the notary.
  • Depending on the specific character of the activity, submitting of other documents, certifying the correspondence of the applicant for a licence to the fixed licence requirements and conditions can be stipulated in the regulation on licensing of the concrete kind of activity
  • The demand of submitting of other documents not stipulated by the present Law and regulation on licensing of the concrete kinds of activity from the applicant of for licence is not accepted.”

Taxation of brick & mortar gambling establishments in Turkmenistan:

The casino tax is determined by the Tax Code of Turkmenistan4. Applicable tax is calculated based on the number of gaming machines, seats, area. You can see these fixed fees below:

Turkmenistan casino taxation
Activity: Tax rate: Tax base:
per gaming machine 30 Turkmenistan manat per day (€  8) fixed fee
per table (called pay-table in the official document) 370 Turkmenistan manat per day (€ 100) fixed fee
per seat (in case of card games, bingo, tournaments) 7 Turkmenistan manat per day (€ 2) fixed fee
per m2 gaming area 3 Turkmenistan manat per day (€ 1) fixed fee
per cash register 38 Turkmenistan manat per day (€ 10) fixed fee

 

This is on top of regular taxes (e.g: corporate tax, which is 8% or 20% in case of foreign companies).

 

For the players, taxation of casino winnings in Turkmenistan:

This might not apply to casino gambling winnings, but income from owning a casino business is taxed at a rate of 60%, full official explanation:

“the income (including from lease and other types of use of property) from casino, hire of audio and videotapes and records on them, gaming machines with winnings – at the rate of 60 percent;”5,6

However, we are unsure if this applies to gambling winnings (and whether it is enforced), you should contact a Turkmen accountant for clarification.

This is currently the biggest Turkmen casino (below average by international standards).

Sadly, the casino does not maintain any official online presence, therefore very little is known of the venue. What we manged to find can be found below.

 

The casino has 13 gaming tables with games such as Blackjack, Roulette and Poker; as well as over 150 slot machines on offer. The casino has no entrance fee, and is open 24 hours a day.

Florida Club, British Pub & Casino, address: Gerogly Street 7, 744000 Ashgaba

Florida Club is primarily a pub and night club, it is in operation since 1994 (although the casino section is older, casinos were not legalized until 1999). It supposedly has a small casino section as well. Although there is almost no information about it online.

Apparently it’s also a brothel (despite this being a Muslim country, theoretically), according to online reviews*:

“Next door is the infamous “Florida Disco” which is a bar and night club where any kind of female company is available for a price. In other words, it is a shop window for hookers, many of whom end up crossing the road over the hotel on the arm of a visiting businessman – who then ends up paying the price for a double room instead of a single!”

Other forms of online gambling in Turkmenistan

All forms of internet gambling are officially illegal in Turkmenistan since 2016.

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

 

Bitcoin casinos in Turkmenistan

Legal status: not specifically regulated

 

The Turkmen government does not officially regulate virtual currencies in any way.

Consequently bitcoin gambling is also unregulated.

However, because of the lack of clear regulations in the country, all of the existing gambling companies and venues shy away from accepting crypto coins, until the legal status and taxation becomes more clear and regulated. Asa result non of the Turkmen casinos accept any sort of cryptocurrency.

In the meantime Turkmen players can place bets via bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, ripple and other virtual currencies online, players are not prosecuted for using, selling buying crypto coins.

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!

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!
