Switzerland has taken one of the toughest regulatory stances in Europe’s online gambling market. By the end of 2025, Swiss authorities had blocked more than 2,500 online gambling websites, sending a clear message to unlicensed operators and reinforcing strict player protection standards.

We explore the role of Swiss regulators, court rulings, DNS blocking, and the ongoing battle against mirror sites, crypto casinos, and regulatory loopholes.

From a Casinoble perspective, we also look at whether the Swiss model could become a blueprint for other European markets, and what this shift tells us about the future of online gambling regulation, consumer safety, and market transparency.

Peru has taken a major step toward transforming its online betting landscape. Since the implementation of Law No. 31557, the country has managed to reduce illegal betting activity by an impressive 40%.

However, new tax proposals could challenge this progress, as experts warn that excessive taxation might push players and operators back into the unregulated space.
