Online Casinos for Lithuanian Players in 2026

Introduction

Online casinos in Lithuania are regulated by the Gaming Control Authority (Lošimų priežiūros tarnyba, LPT), which sits under the Ministry of Finance. Under the Law on Gaming, a company needs a Lithuanian permit to offer online casino games to players in the country. A licence from Malta, Curacao or any other country does not replace it. The LPT publishes the list of licensed operators.

The LPT keeps a public blacklist of illegal gambling sites, and Lithuanian internet providers can be ordered to block them. Banks and other financial institutions must also block card payments to unlicensed gambling operators. The minimum age to gamble online is 21. This guide explains how to check a licence, how Lithuanian players deposit and withdraw, and which tools exist to limit your play.

Below you will find practical tips for choosing a site, followed by sections on live dealer games, the law, banking, bonuses, games and responsible gambling. You can also compare the rules with our guides for players from Estonia and Latvia.

Tips for Lithuanian online gambling

Check the licence on the LPT list

Before you register or deposit, look the operator up on the LPT website, which publishes the list of companies allowed to offer remote gambling in Lithuania. The list shows the licensed company and the exact web addresses it may use. If a casino's domain is not on the list, it does not hold a Lithuanian licence, whatever licence logos appear in its footer.

Check the blacklist

The LPT also publishes a list of illegal online gambling operators. A site on that list is not licensed in Lithuania, and its address may be blocked by your internet provider. Our own casino blacklist is a useful second check, but the LPT lists are the ones that decide what is legal in Lithuania. A site missing from the blacklist is not automatically licensed, so always check the licence list as well.

Read the bonus terms and wagering rules

Before you accept a bonus, read the wagering requirement, the games that count, the maximum bet while a bonus is active, the expiry date and the withdrawal limits. A bonus with high wagering can keep your money locked in for a long time. If you are unsure about a term, ask customer support and keep their reply.

Use responsible gambling tools

Set a budget before you play and treat it as the price of entertainment. Licensed operators offer tools such as limits and breaks, and Lithuania has a national register that lets you ban yourself from licensed gambling. See the responsible gambling section below for how it works.

Live dealer casinos for players from Lithuania

Live dealer games stream real tables from a studio, with a human dealer handling the cards or the wheel. Typical lobbies include live blackjack, roulette, baccarat and game shows. Which live games you can open depends on the licensed casino you choose, and the choice of tables and betting limits varies from site to site. For a wider look at the format, see our live dealer casino guide.

Is online gambling legal in Lithuania?

Online gambling is legal in Lithuania only with a Lithuanian licence. The Law on Gaming requires every company that offers remote gambling to hold a permit from the Gaming Control Authority (LPT). The LPT keeps an official list of companies entitled to offer remote gambling, and operators that are not on it can be added to the LPT's list of illegal operators.

Licensed operators

The LPT register of remote gambling permits lists a small number of companies. Brands with a .lt address on the register include Olybet (olybet.lt), Optibet (optibet.lt), Betsafe (betsafe.lt), CBet (cbet.lt), Party Casino (partycasino.lt) and Casino Admiral (casinoadmiral.lt). The register changes over time and does not say which games each brand offers, so check the current entry on the LPT website before you play. A foreign licence does not make a casino legal in Lithuania.

Blacklist and blocking

The LPT publishes a list of illegal online gambling sites. Lithuanian internet providers can be required to block these addresses, and financial institutions in Lithuania must block card payments connected to unlicensed gambling. Because of this, a casino that is not licensed in Lithuania may be unreachable, or a deposit to it may fail.

Age limit

The minimum age for gambling in Lithuania is 21. This applies to online casinos as well as land-based venues, and it has applied to gambling since 1 November 2025. Licensed casinos verify the age and identity of new players.

Rules for players

The Lithuanian sources we checked describe no penalty for a player who uses an unlicensed site. The risk is practical instead: an unlicensed operator is outside Lithuanian oversight, so you have no licensed operator or Lithuanian regulator to turn to if a withdrawal is refused or your account is closed.

Advertising

Gambling advertising in Lithuania has been restricted in stages since 1 July 2025, and a full ban is planned for 2028. In the meantime, outdoor advertising is largely banned and operators are limited in what they can show on television, radio and online.

Banking for players in Lithuania

Lithuanian players usually have a few types of payment method to choose from: bank transfers and bank-linked payment services, debit and credit cards, and e-wallets. Pay-by-bank services let you approve a payment inside your own online banking, so you do not type card details into the casino. Cards are widely used, though your bank may decline payments to sites that are not licensed in Lithuania. E-wallets keep a separate balance, and each casino decides which ones it accepts.

Available methods, limits and processing times differ between licensed casinos and can change, so open the cashier before you register and check the deposit and withdrawal options. Withdrawals are normally sent back to the method you used to deposit, and you will usually need to verify your identity before the first withdrawal.

Casino bonuses for Lithuanian players

Licensed casinos commonly offer welcome bonuses, free spins, cashback and reload offers. All of them come with terms, and the terms matter more than the headline number. Look for the wagering requirement (how many times the bonus, or the bonus plus the deposit, must be bet before you can withdraw), the share each game type contributes, the maximum bet allowed with bonus funds, the time limit, and any cap on winnings.

Offers differ by operator and can change, so read the current terms on the casino's own website, and decline a bonus if you do not want its restrictions. A bonus is extra play money with conditions, not a way to earn income.

Games and software

Licensed casinos in Lithuania offer the usual range: video slots, table games such as blackjack and roulette, video poker, live dealer games and, at some sites, bingo or sports betting. Games come from software studios, and the library at each casino differs. Return-to-player (RTP) figures are published for many slots, and a higher RTP means a lower expected cost of play, though results in any single session are random.

Our slots guide explains volatility, RTP and bonus features. Most licensed casinos also work in a mobile browser, and some have apps.

Responsible gambling in Lithuania

Gambling should be entertainment with a fixed budget. Decide in advance how much money and time you will spend, never chase losses, and never gamble with money you need for rent, food or bills. Signs of a problem include hiding your play, borrowing to gamble and feeling unable to stop.

The register of persons who restricted their gambling

Lithuania runs a national register of people who have asked to be barred from gambling. You submit a request through the state e-services portal (epaslaugos.lt), signing in with online banking, mobile signature or an ID card. The request is reached from the Nenoriu lošti site, which also lists organisations that offer help with gambling problems in towns across Lithuania. The restriction lasts at least six months. If you do not choose a period, it lasts two years. It applies to all gambling companies registered in Lithuania and takes effect on the next working day.

Where to get help

Nenoriu lošti lists help services by city, and you can write to the LPT team at pagalba@lpt.lt. Lithuanian rules also require licensed operators to monitor player behaviour and to step in when a player shows signs of harm. Use the limits and time-out tools in your account.

Lithuania online gambling FAQ

Are online casinos legal in Lithuania?

Yes, but only those holding a Lithuanian licence from the Gaming Control Authority. A licence from another country does not make a site legal for Lithuanian players.

What is the minimum age to gamble online in Lithuania?

The minimum age is 21 for online casinos and other gambling, and it has applied since 1 November 2025. National lottery draws have a lower limit.

How can I check if a casino is licensed?

Search for the casino's web address on the LPT list of companies permitted to offer remote gambling. If the exact domain is not listed, it does not hold a Lithuanian licence.

Can I ban myself from gambling in Lithuania?

Yes. You can submit a request to the national register of persons who restricted their gambling through the e-services portal. The minimum period is six months, and the request applies to all gambling companies registered in Lithuania.

Which payment methods do Lithuanian players use?

Common options are bank-linked payment services such as Trumo, bank cards and e-wallets. What is on offer depends on the casino, so check its cashier.

Gambling rules differ from country to country. For other countries in the region, see our guides to online casinos in Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Norway.

Conclusion

For Lithuanian players the first step is simple: play only at a casino whose domain is on the LPT list, be 21 or older, and read the bonus terms before accepting. Keep your play within a budget, use limits, and remember that the national register is there if you need to step away. Compare banking options and live dealer tables only among licensed sites.
