What the Gaming Control Authority under the Ministry of Finance (Lošimų priežiūros tarnyba) licence means for players, how to check it in the official register, and every casino in our database that holds it.
Short answer
The Gaming Control Authority, which works under Lithuania's Ministry of Finance, licenses and supervises gambling in Lithuania, including online casinos. Only companies that hold a Lithuanian licence with special permission for remote gaming may offer online gambling to people in Lithuania.
The authority publishes a permission list of licensed gaming operators, so players can check a site before registering. It also keeps a regularly updated list of illegal online gambling operators, whose sites are blocked. Lithuania has a national self-exclusion system. A player can apply once to be excluded from gambling with all licensed operators, and the authority explains how to submit the application correctly. Advertising rules prohibit gambling ads aimed at minors and ads that encourage irresponsible play. The authority's approach focuses on keeping unlicensed operators out of the market, so the main protection for players is to stay with operators on the official permission list. Players who have a problem with a licensed operator should raise it with the operator first and can then contact the authority.
