Sports betting is legal in Andorra under the current gambling regulatory framework established by Law 4/2021. The Principality of Andorra has transformed from a jurisdiction that historically banned all gambling activities since 1929 to one that now operates under a comprehensive and regulated gambling regime (1). This modern legislation covers all forms of gambling, including sports betting, both in land-based venues and online platforms.
The legal framework distinguishes between different categories of games of chance and establishes specific licensing requirements for operators. Law 4/2021 categorizes gambling activities into four main types: pure games of chance, mixed games of chance and ability, contests involving chance, and raffles and lotteries (1). Sports betting falls under these regulated categories and requires proper licensing from the Andorran Gaming Regulatory Council to operate legally within the principality.
"The actual gambling legislation that is enforced in Andorra is Law 4/2021, dated March 22, 2021. This law takes into consideration all gambling games—both land-based and online."
The regulatory oversight is managed by the Andorran Gaming Regulatory Council, which serves as the primary authority for controlling gambling activities, preventing problem gambling, and maintaining industry integrity (2). All gambling operators, including sports betting providers, must obtain appropriate licenses and comply with administrative fees and tax obligations. The current regulatory environment aims to ensure responsible gambling while creating sustainable development opportunities for the industry, making sports betting a legitimate and regulated activity in Andorra.
