The FGB’s complete published directory inspected on 24 October 2026 lists 10 casinos with an operating online platform. Swisslos and Loterie Romande hold the online sports-betting and large-scale lottery permissions in their respective language regions. Both authorities still link 25 August 2026 blocklist editions; these domain-level enforcement records are separate from the positive operator evidence.

Ten operating online casino platforms
The complete official FGB directory recovered through indexed primary-page content connects 10 Swiss casinos to 10 exact consumer domains and historical online start dates. The page was published on 17 March 2026. A casino needs a Federal Council licence extension and a separate FGB permit for each online game; no individual game catalogue, licence identifier or expiry term is established by this table.

Gespa identifies Swisslos and Loterie Romande as the authorised organisations for online sports betting and large-scale lotteries. Swisslos serves German- and Italian-speaking Switzerland; Loterie Romande serves the French-speaking cantons. Small local betting and lotteries have separate cantonal rules and are not an open remote market.
Gespa illegal-gambling and licensed-operator boundaryFGB blocklist replaced on 25 August
Key date:
The FGB still links its 25 August 2026 unauthorised-online-games list and accompanying chart, whose final point is 3,567 blocked domains on 25 August. This is dated negative domain-level evidence, not a count of licensed or currently active operators.
FGB current blocklist and blocked-domain chartGespa blocklist replaced on 25 August
Key date:
Gespa’s current-blocklist section still links the 25 August 2026 edition, with the 11 June edition in the archive. Swiss internet providers must apply DNS blocking to the listed domains. A missing domain is not evidence of authorisation; the legal force comes from the ruling published in the Federal Gazette.
Gespa current access-blocking listPrediction markets are not a licensing shortcut
Key date:
Gespa states that prediction-market contracts generally fall within gambling and specifically betting. Only sports-event betting is eligible for authorisation in Switzerland, and the online sports-betting monopoly remains with Swisslos and Loterie Romande.
