This generally applies to their actual website, not to the downloaded casino and bookmaker’s software. The government sometimes blocks access to online gambling sites. Online casinos offering accounts in Bahraini Dinar (BHD) are rare finds though. Online casinos that are licensed in such jurisdictions tend to accept players from all countries which makes it convenient to do so. The government-backed gambling commission currently supports 691 companies across nine online gambling sectors. The United Kingdom (UK) is one such regulating body. In many places, including most of Europe, casino gambling has long been legal and regulated. When done correctly, it is more convenient, safer, and more likely to be fair. Since all casinos operate here illegally, Bahraini have no legal challenge against fraudulent games or casinos and bookmakers that refuse to pay when they win. Despite this, there is a lot of gambling going on in Bahrain.
There are provisions for a penalty that may increase to one year or 500 Bahraini dinars for a second violation. Public gambling is a crime punishable by up to 3 months in prison or a fine of up to 100 Bahraini Dinars. In an Islamic country, gambling is not allowed at all in Bahrain.
