Statute overview

About this statute

This is the preamble of the 20 April 1977 Luxembourg law on games of chance, sports betting, and related matters; it introduces the law and its formal adoption. The exploitation of games of chance is prohibited. Advertising contests and free lotteries/tombolas used only for commercial promotion are not treated as games of chance under this law. It bans installing certain money, token, and chance-based machines in public roads and public places, including drinking establishments, with a narrow exception for machines that do not give any material gain beyond continuing to play. Sports betting on sporting events needs prior authorization from the Minister of Justice.
