Gambling licensing in Armenia
The Ministry of Finance licenses internet gambling games and internet totalisator (sports betting) in Armenia, on the opinion of the Commission on Licensing Lotteries, Internet Gambling Games, Gambling and Casinos. Licences are issued for an indefinite term, but the licence holder pays an annual state duty of AMD 600 million. The ministry does not publish a usable list of internet licence holders, so the brands here need checking.
