Online Casinos in Iraq

For many years, there were several brick and mortar casinos in Iraq. However, as online casino news sites report, the political instability in the country, which resulted in years of war, has led them to close. As of July 2019, there is only one known active establishment in the Kurdish region, the Casino Suleimaniya, though authorities are starting to be active in the shutdown of those gambling-related facilities. And it is assumed that online casino sites in Iraq are also not permitted.

Online Casino Laws in Iraq

Article 389 of the 1969 Penal Code specifically states that “Any person who opens or runs an establishment for gambling and opens it to the public is punishable by a period of detention not exceeding 1 year plus a fine not exceeding 100 dinars or by one of those penalties.” and that “The same penalty applies to any person who organizes such gambling in a public place or place that is open to the public or location or house set aside for such purpose”. 

However, the Government has always allowed some sort of gambling to take place throughout the years. This is why it is unclear whether it is legal or not to gamble in the country. That is, online casino sites in Iraq are supposedly illegal as well - and there are, in fact, no online casino licenses on the offer - but there are also no reports of prosecution of gamblers, despite some attempts to block online gambling content. In this way, gamblers can access offshore platforms that not only offer a wide variety of games, as well as some of the best online casino bonuses and online casino promotions. 

Online Casino Payment Methods in Iraq

There are several ways through which gamblers can deposit and withdraw their winnings. Of course, so that operators can keep running safe platforms, those are all transparent. Accordingly, the credit and debit cards offered by VISA and MasterCard are fully available. But there are also alternatives that are as efficient and reliable, such as FastPay, Bitcoin or Perfect Money. More information is available on the online casino reviews directory. 

Online Casino Sites Accepting IQD

Due to the prominence of the Islamic Sharia in Iraq, there are currently no domestic websites operating. Nevertheless, some international platforms have seen the potential of the industry in the country and it is possible, indeed, to find online casino sites accepting IQD.
