Considering that land casinos were only legalised in Bolivia in 2002, perhaps it is not surprising that online gambling has not yet been regulated in the South American country. However, although Bolivia does not have an online gambling industry, its government does not prevent online gamblers in the country from playing at foreign online casinos and other gambling sites.

Gambling In Bolivia
Gambling was banned throughout Bolivia in 1938, but in 2002 the Bolivian government finally decided to reinstate it, which was met with much joy and celebration from the population. As happens in countries where long-time bans have been in place, land casinos immediately mushroomed all over Bolivia, and continue to do so today as gambling is one of the country's most profitable industries.
However, in an attempt to control this enormous expansion and keep unscrupulous casino operators at bay, the Bolivian government introduced Gambling Bill 971, which increased taxes on all casinos by 30 percent and taxes on player winnings by 15 percent.
Online Gambling In Bolivia
Online gamblers in Bolivia are particularly fortunate, because they are free to play at any offshore online casino that will have them, without any interference from the government. As the government has seems to have no interest in regulating online gambling, there are no laws in place to prevent Bolivians from gambling at foreign sites.
Which is why so many of the world's premier online casinos welcome players from Bolivia. As a Spanish speaking nation, there are plenty of online casinos with Spanish versions that offer deposit methods suited to Bolivians, such as credit and debit cards, Ukash, Neteller, Ecocard, Skrill, Entropay and Click2Pay.
