To re-clarify, yes, online gambling is legal in Serbia. Serbians are a very proud nation, especially when it comes to sports where they have a lot of international success. In order to suppress further development of the grey economy, Serbian authorities legalized online gambling back in 2011. Every gambling company with significant initial funds can register their services over the internet. As already mentioned, the Games of Chance Act 2011 allowed online casinos to be licensed by the state and open up shop in Serbia – so long as they have an actual headquarters and their servers set up within the country. However, current locally licensed options available for Serbian residents are limited, though massive online gaming software developers like Net Entertainment have recently gone live in the regulated local market so that state-licensed Serbian online casinos can host their stellar games catalogue.
Online casinos are popular as well, and online poker has also caught the interest of many Serbians in the last several years. There are 4 "local" operators in the country: Mozzart, Balkanbet, MaxBet and RMco. Originally created as a bookmakers, today they have their own casinos. Operators are engaged in the distribution and promotion of content of international game software manufacturers. Therefore, Serbians have plenty of options when it comes to gambling sites. Additionally, many Serbian players play on offshore gambling sites. Citizens of the country are allowed to visit multilingual online casinos where Serbian is also available. Playing for Serbian dinars is available just in a few places. This online currency is only accepted by online bookmakers 1xBet and Big Bet World. However, given the dynamic development of the market, we can expect that this list will grow. As for whether Serbians are allowed to gamble at licensed offshore online casinos, this is technically illegal, but the Serbian government is not concerned enough about offshore casinos to impose a penalty for players found gambling at foreign sites.
