While land-based gambling was possible for a long time, internet gambling in the Netherlands had been restricted. The country had a sigh of relief when it became legal on October 1, 2024. The country's legislature successfully passed the Remote Gambling Act allowing all online games of chance to become legal.

Some prominent jurisdictions where online gambling is legal and regulated include the United Kingdom, Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, and Alderney. These countries have established licensing authorities that oversee online gambling operators, ensuring consumer protection and fair play.
