[QUESTION] Which European countries are friendly for overseas online betting?

[justandej]

Hi,

I think about moving to country which allow me to overseas online sports betting.
Could anyone help me with creating list of European countries which residents can bet sports online in:

- bet365

- all sportsbooks and casinos with Curacao license

- other most popular sports betting sites

I think that Sweden, Finland and Switzerland allow this but what are other countries that their players are accepted by providers described above?

Thanks for your time!

Most EU countries allow gambling in one way or the other.

My advice for you is to go through the TOS of some gambling sites, look for the European Union countries that are restricted and research more on them. Most of gambling sites will have almost the same countries that they restrict. Use the gambling sites that have official threads on this forum to do that.

Well why do you need an EU country first?Most online casinos here that operate with crypto are friendly enough to offer us the same if not better than what those EU casinos like bet365 offer,in fact in here no one will disable your account for winning like bet365 does and it is a common procedure that they freeze your account as soon as you hit 3000-4000 EUR profit.

So when all of these other huge casinos offer us much better than that why bother in the first place asking and checking which EU country is friendly for overseas gambling?

Thanks for your replies.

@swogerino I used bet365 as example. Currently I live in UK and use local online gambling websites, but I want to move out from here.

I want to built list of countries which meet both conditions:
- are accepted by most popular online sports betting providers with Curacao license (vave, stake, cloudbet, sportsbet etc)
- those countries allow residents gambling in above providers

Note that Switzerland is not an EU country.

@LoyceMobile I wrote EU, but I mean country in Europe. I apologize for that.

As long as you're aware. It kinda matters for migration rules.

Is it worth migrating than using the crypto casinos that don't block you from where you are?

So much is to be factored if I were to move there but it must vary to each of us. bet365 is just one casino, I have no idea how special this casino but I'm sure what they offer is also offered in many casinos in crypto. I'm sure the sports there are also found on Stake.com.  

If I had to move there to EU myself, I'd probably just choose the cheapest country to live in. Pretty sure not a single country banned crypto casino.

Romania and Kosovo are home for sports betting as their laws are less strict than many EU countries.  You just need to be a little smart to adapt to the way of life in those countries.

I think bet365 is headquartered in Stoke-on-Trent, this would have made UK a good choice if they had not exited the European Union. Other places that could serve as good alternatives include Gibraltar and Malta if you may not like Romania and Kosovo.

Well I don't know why you restricted your preferences  to just the European countries but just incase you want some other countries, you shoukd consider Africa and Nigeria precisely  as there are alot of great life over here if you have a way to Carter for yourself.
Cost of accommodation is very cheap as compared to other countries and we have well furnished apartments  that charge renta on annual payment bases and some cases bi annually.
With regards to gambling,  Nigeria has no restrictions for gambling  as long as you're 18 years of age and above, you can easily open a betting online account and easily fund and withdraw funds from the accounts.

I promise that your stay will be a very memorable  one and you'll  always love to come back.

@Odohu Based on my knowledge Romania is not a good choose.

"Many other countries prohibit access from their own country to foreign online gaming sites, mainly to protect their own local gaming operators. These include Georgia, Sri Lanka, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, UK, USA and Panama."

...

"In some of them, there are prohibitions inside their own jurisdictions, so that citizens cannot engage with local operators. This group includes Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Norway ,Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, Dominica, and Dominican Republic. However, there is nothing prohibiting them from engaging with a Curacao-based online gaming operator."

Based on it Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Norway ,Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, Dominica, and Dominican Republic are probably good countries. On the other hand Latvia, Lithuania are restricted on vave and few more providers.

This all depends on the things that are done in the casino, its tasks, its different rules and regulations that are carried out, because mainly the majority of countries are located for Europe, for Malta, for countries with few restrictions because they do not have It makes no sense to set up a crypto casino that has banned countries, for me this doesn't make any sense at all, because in crypto it shouldn't exist, but since there are, it's something that I don't accept, however when I see casinos that don't accept my country I do not recommend it at all, because they are casinos that are very attached to the law and in any case are capable of providing our data to any type of government, and to any type of third party, so these things are the ones that I think should not be You have to spend a lot of time to be able to choose a casino, if a casino has a lot of problems, then it is not convenient, and it is not the only casino that exists, and if they have all these restrictions, it means that the casino is quite problematic, I am sure that they will ask for too much KYC. demanding, which does not make much sense either, and I am also very sure that they will not accept any type of VPN, but they do accept VPN to be able to make a deposit and play, but not to withdraw money, this is the type of casino that is Most people cover their backs with those who do not accept VPNs, or who are very adherent to the law. From my own experience, these types of cases should not be avoided.

Casinos are very good, they are antgups and they have a great skill to be able to accept people from all over the world, we have stake.com, and we have bitcasiono.io that accepts the VPN, for people in the USA we have stake.us that Mostly there are many problems for them to be able to accept online casinos in the USA, it is very banned, I don't know what reason makes them able to keep it that way, but those are restrictions that make no sense to me, that is why crypto casinos never offer any. circumstance they should accept the condition of banning countries.
