The FGB still lists 10 casinos with an operating online platform, while Swisslos and Loterie Romande remain the only licensed lottery and sports-betting organisations. Both Swiss authorities replaced their domain blocklists on 25 August 2026; those lists are enforcement evidence and do not replace the positive operator records.

Ten operating online casino platforms
The FGB operating-platform page still connects 10 Swiss casinos to 10 exact consumer domains. A casino needs a Federal Council licence extension and separate FGB approval for each game before it can be offered online.

Gespa says only Swisslos and Loterie Romande are licensed to run lotteries and sports betting in Switzerland. Swisslos serves German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino; Loterie Romande serves the French-speaking cantons.

Key date:
The FGB published a new unauthorised-online-games list on 25 August 2026. Its accompanying official chart records 3,567 blocked domains. This is negative domain-level evidence, not a count of licensed or active operators.

Key date:
Gespa replaced its 11 June blocklist with a new 25 August 2026 edition. Swiss internet providers must apply DNS blocking to the listed domains; absence from the list is not proof that a site is authorised.
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.
