A Lithuanian licence is required to offer gambling to residents. Since the 2022 amendments, a dedicated remote gambling licence separates online from land-based requirements, removes the prior requirement to operate a domiciled land-based venue, and is granted with an indefinite term. The remote-only licence carries a one-off fee of EUR 500,000; a combined land-based + remote licence costs EUR 1m. Existing online operators must reapply/migrate to the dedicated remote licence before 1 October 2026. LLI maintains a public whitelist and a blacklist; banks and EMIs use these. Game and platform providers must have platforms accredited by independent bodies under LPT technical standards.
