A small licensed market with a real register
Latvia licenses online gambling through the IAUI, requiring operators to hold a Latvian licence through a locally established company. The licensed field is correspondingly small — a handful of operators rather than dozens.
The Inspection publishes both the licensed list and the register of blocked domains, and blocking is applied through internet providers.
Small does not mean lax: Latvia's self-exclusion machinery is stronger than the market's size suggests.
Self-exclusion is national and application-based
Latvia operates a national self-exclusion register maintained by the regulator rather than by individual operators. Registration is made to the Inspection, and licensed operators must refuse anyone listed.
Entries can also be sought by close family members through a defined process, which is a stronger provision than most European schemes offer.
Because the register binds licensees only, it is another argument for staying inside the licensed market rather than following a blocked domain to its mirror.
Tax and the Baltic context
Latvia taxes gambling winnings above a threshold as income. The treatment differs from Estonia's and Lithuania's, so guidance written for "the Baltics" as a bloc is unreliable — the three markets have separate regimes, separate regulators and separate tax rules.
Licensed operators report in line with Latvian requirements; offshore ones do not, which leaves the obligation with you.
Confirm current thresholds with the State Revenue Service or a Latvian tax professional rather than relying on this page.
