    Switzerland is exploring the possibility of expanding its online gambling offerings as part of an effort to attract international tourists and diversify its economy. While online gambling is already legal in Switzerland, the market is currently limited to a handful of online casinos and sports betting platforms.

    The Swiss government is considering allowing additional forms of online gambling, including virtual poker and online lotteries, to further boost the country’s appeal as a gambling destination. The move is part of a broader strategy to revitalize the Swiss tourism sector, which has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    However, the proposal has met with resistance from local communities and gambling addiction advocacy groups, who fear that the expansion of online gambling could lead to increased social harm. The government is conducting a public consultation process and is expected to release a detailed report by 2025.
