Online Sports Betting in the United Arab Emirates

The most popular sport in the country is horse racing, which attracts millions of tourists each year with the Dubai World Cup Night - the world's biggest event of the kind. Camel racing is also very famous, but, lately, these sports are becoming overshadowed by football’s success among fans. However, as a result of Article 414 of the UAE Penal Code which declares all gambling illegal, online sportsbook sites are illegal.

Is online sports betting legal in the UAE?	No.
Are sports betting sites in the UAE trustworthy?	Yes.
Can I deposit via PaySafeCard/Skrill/Neteller?	Yes.
Do online sports betting sites accept AED?	Yes.

Online Sports Betting Laws in the United Arab Emirates

Even though authorities can penalize gamblers for illegal online activity in the country, online sportsbook news sites in the UAE report that there are many people betting on international operators based elsewhere, such as Malta. This is possible through the use of proxy servers or VPN - which are also illegal under the Federal Law No. 12/2016 -, and also because many of these websites are accepting bettors from the UAE. Some of these platforms include Unibet Sportsbook, which, along with online sportsbook promotions, offers a wide variety of sports and events that allow Live In-Game Betting, letting players bet on live sports events in real-time. Despite the popularity of sports in the country, and because its laws are highly influenced by the Islamic Sharia, the current situation on sports betting is not expected to change in the near future.

Online Sports Betting Payment Methods in the United Arab Emirates

There are many different payment methods accepted by online sportsbooks in the UAE. Some of them include the credit and debit cards that are available through VISA and MasterCard. But bettors can also use alternatives that are as transparent and safe. These can be Skrill and Neteller, commonly accepted by most bookmakers; or PayPal or PaySafeCard. And there are many other options, as listed on the online sportsbook reviews directory.

Online Sports Betting Sites Accepting AED

As sports are so popular and the country is one of the wealthiest in the world, bookmakers are interested in targeting the people living in the UAE. One of the best ways to do it is by allowing payments in the local currency so that bettors don’t have to pay any conversion fees. Thus, there are some online sports betting sites accepting AED.
