Online casinos are legal in Andorra under a comprehensive regulatory framework established by Law 4/2021, which came into effect on March 22, 2021. This legislation represents a significant shift from the country's historical prohibition of gambling activities, which had been in place since 1929 (1). The law establishes the practice and exploitation of games of chance in the Principality of Andorra, distinguishing six categories of gaming operators and covering both in-person and online gambling activities.
The regulatory oversight of Andorra's gambling sector is managed by the Consell Regulador Andorrà del Joc (Andorran Gaming Regulatory Council), an administrative authority with its own legal personality dedicated to regulating gambling activities (2). This entity is responsible for issuing licenses, monitoring operator activities, preventing gambling addiction, and detecting criminal activities related to gaming. All operators wishing to provide gambling services in Andorra must obtain proper licensing from this regulatory body.
"The main objective of the Law is to regulate gambling activity in the Principality of Andorra, determining both the supply and consumption of games of chance, as well as guaranteeing their exploitation to prevent excessive gambling, ensure the reliability and integrity of gambling operations."
The current legal framework allows for various forms of gambling including pure games of chance, mixed games of chance and skill, contests involving chance, and raffles or lotteries. Both land-based and online gambling operations are permitted under the law, provided operators obtain the appropriate licenses and comply with taxation requirements. The legislation also subjects gambling activities to specific tax regulations, including administrative fees for license applications and ongoing tax obligations for operators conducting business in the principality.
