Top Online Casinos for Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a land-locked country located in central Europe. It borders France to the south, Belgium to the west and north-west, and Germany to the east and north-east.

Overview

Online gambling in Luxembourg has been regulated on some level since 2007. The only real option that players have for regulated online gambling, however, is with the national lottery that offers instant win type games (eg: virtual scratch offs) online. With that having been said, there are also some online sports betting sites in Germany that have permission to offer their services to players inside of Luxembourg.

Aside from that, players do not have many options when it comes to regulated games, and it's possibly illegal to play games that aren't regulated. Their laws about gambling do not make any specific reference to online games. However, they behave as if it does, and if it was ever challenged in court, chances are that the courts would rule in favor of it including online gambling at this point.

Licensing

Even though the online gambling industry is partially regulated in Luxembourg, there is no formal licensing process. What's more is that they haven't really indicated a want to create a more formal process, though the fact that they are willing to work with sports betting operators from Germany is a good sign. If they were to open up their licensing process in the future, this means that they would be more likely than most to allow foreign operators to become licensed in the country. This is a major advantage for players and allows for more competition.

Player Protections

Players are protected in a major way when they play with the regulated lottery and sports betting sites in Luxembourg. They have clear processes in place that they can follow to issue complaints, and these complaints are taken very seriously. Aside from that, players can also choose to play with unlicensed foreign operators as well since the government doesn't really enforce any type of ban on that sort of play. With that having been said, there are no player protections offered from Luxembourg on those games, so players should make sure to stick to reputable sites that have a history of being trustworthy.
