Key facts

Only Swiss casinos holding a concession extension from the Federal Council may offer online casino games. New platforms: Admiral (Mendrisio, 16 July 2025) and Casineo (Locarno, 17 March 2026). New casino concessions in force since 1 January 2025.

Offshore sites

Offshore offering illegal and blocked: Swiss internet access providers must block the sites on the ESBK blocking list (latest list of 25 August 2026, updated approximately every 3 months, published in the Feuille fédérale [Federal Gazette]). A Swiss player does not commit an offence by playing at an unauthorised casino, but plays at their own risk.
