Is Gambling Illegal Where You Live?

[Hardexy1]

Another question on the minds of most people who wish to participate in any form of gambling is if it is illegal to gamble at home? That depends on the jurisdiction you are based in and also the form of gambling you wish to participate in. Different countries have their own laws for different kinds of gambling activities, including:

Lotteries
Sports betting
Casinos
Bingo
These activities could take place online, at a bookmaker, casino, or any other venue allocated for the purpose of carrying out gambling operations. Either way, verifying if you are legally allowed to gamble and whether the activity is considered a criminal offense is very easy and requires just a moment’s research work.

No, in my country it is not illegal, I can go to bet in both physical and online casinos/betting houses, but gambling is highly regulated and I will need at least my identity document to access all of them, in some cases even more information such as fill out forms and others.

To say the truth it is illegal in my religion but legal in my country and you cannot gamble during fasting or all days of years especially in Ramadhan. But for my country foreign casinos are illegal because you need to play on local ones because every transaction on their website they pay 25 % VAT to the state of the earning from all these activities but cannot control foreign ones.

Gambling and all forms of gambling are legal here in Nigeria and i even use to think they are regulated but it seems they are not even regulated because of the increase in the number gambling sites everyday

Because that websites are not licensed I could be someone particular not paying any VAT and just for example 1 $ for 580 neira exchanger and run online casino site after buying a script and then run my casino so how prove that I am UK licensed company and not just someone buying registration number and not paying any VAT to the state from my earnings from loser gamblers on my casino site?
