Gambling licensing in Kyrgyzstan
Gambling was banned in Kyrgyzstan from 2015 until Law No. 50 of 22 June 2022 re-legalised it under a licensing regime. Finnadzor issues licences and keeps public registers for each category: bookmakers, totalisators, land-based casinos, virtual (online) casino operators and virtual casino administrators, plus lotteries. The bookmaker register lists only two active licensees, and it names legal entities, not brands or websites. The brands here are those two companies.
