(Lithuania).- Lithuania’s gambling market gross revenue reached €274.1 million in 2025 – 13% more than in 2024. The lottery market grew at a similar pace: last year, tickets worth €167.2 million were sold, with €91.9 million paid out in winnings.
In recent years, the gambling market has expanded mainly due to remote gambling, which in 2020 surpassed the revenue of land-based venues. In 2025, remote gambling gross revenue increased by 19% to €202.4 million. Land-based gambling revenue remained almost unchanged at €71.7 million.
Last year, €86.9 million in lottery and gambling taxes were paid into Lithuania’s budget. Of this, €29.3 million came from major lottery organizers, and €57.6 million from gambling operators.
Illegal activity halted
In 2025, the Gambling Supervisory Authority sent 47 warnings to foreign entities regarding illegal remote gambling activities in Lithuania. A total of 37 investigations into illegal remote gambling were carried out.
During the year alone, 208 internet domains were added to the list of illegal gambling operators, bringing the total to 2,017 domains by year’s end.
Priorities – consultation and prevention
Last year, specialists from the Supervisory Authority actively provided consultations to individuals experiencing gambling-related problems, as well as to their relatives. In total, 2,160 consultations were provided – similar to 2024.
Statistics show that gambling addiction remains a pressing issue in Lithuania. However, public awareness is increasing – the voluntary self-restriction mechanism is being used more actively to control gambling behavior. Over the year, 18,710 requests to block gambling access were registered, about 14% more than in 2024.
The Supervisory Authority also provided consultations to gambling and lottery organizers, with particular attention to prevention-focused guidance. In addition, targeted training sessions on money laundering and terrorist financing prevention were organized for market participants, aiming to strengthen the sector’s resilience and compliance with legal requirements.
