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.

In this episode, we break down how Switzerland’s gambling blacklist works, why the number of blocked sites keeps growing, and what the Federal Act on Gambling really means for players and operators. 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.
