Online gambling is banned in Uzbekistan

Online gambling is banned in Uzbekistan. By the decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, cross-border transfers from the cards of online gambling participants are prohibited in Uzbekistan. 

On November 30, the presidential decree "On protection of the rights of consumers of digital products (services) and measures to strengthen the fight against violations committed by means of digital technologies" was signed. 

According to it, when there is information about the operation code of the payment system or other identifiers indicating that the recipient of the funds is engaged in the activity of organizing and conducting gambling games and capital movement operations, commercial banks are prohibited from cross-border transfer of funds to the recipient located outside of Uzbekistan using a bank card. 

Based on the appeals of the National Agency of Prospective Projects, information resources on the Internet that allow illegal participation in gambling games, as well as the implementation of capital movement operations by the Information and Mass Communications Agency, contain information prohibited by the law of Uzbekistan and are entered into the Internet network registry.
