That's correct! The legal landscape of online gambling varies significantly around the world, with each jurisdiction adopting its own approach based on a range of factors.
In jurisdictions where online gambling is fully legalized and regulated, operators are typically required to obtain licenses from the relevant regulatory authorities. These licenses may come with stringent requirements around player protection, responsible gambling measures, anti-money laundering provisions, and more. Age restrictions are also commonly imposed to prevent underage gambling.
On the other hand, some jurisdictions may allow only specific types of online gambling activities, such as sports betting or lotteries, while prohibiting others like online casinos or poker. These restrictions may be influenced by cultural or moral concerns, efforts to minimize the social harms associated with gambling, or simply a desire to maintain state monopolies over certain forms of gambling.
Overall, the diverse approaches to online gambling regulation demonstrate the complex interplay between legal, social, and economic factors that shape the gambling landscape in different parts of the world. Players and operators alike must navigate these varying regulations and requirements to ensure compliance with the law and a safe, responsible online gambling environment.

Licensing practices also differ, with some areas allowing licenses for both local and foreign operators, while others restrict services to in-country entities. Taxation and local gaming industry support contribute to the diverse regulatory landscape, alongside measures to address problem gambling.
