Online DFS Laws in Qatar

Article 274 of the Law No. 11 of the 2004 Penal Code starts by defining gambling as “any game in which the probability of gain and loss depends on the luck and not on controlled factors ”. Considering that, around the world, lawmakers are adhering to the idea that Daily Fantasy Sports are games of skill, it could be said that there is an opportunity for this type of game to soon be legalized. However, and meeting the Islamic principles, the same article goes on by stating that gambling is also every game where “each party agrees to give the amount of money, in case of loss, to the winning party.” In this way, it is unlikely that the game will ever be legal in Qatar, though the market has great potential in the country. Football is the most popular sport and not only will Qatar host the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the national team has been seeing great success in recent years. The Qataris won the 2019 AFC Asian Cup and were also invited to be part of Copa América in the same year. But there are also other sports with a strong following and where the country has made considerable achievements, such as handball or basketball.  

Online DFS Payment Methods in Qatar

In order to keep competing, operators must make sure that the only payment methods available are fully transparent and legitimate. In this way, the credit and debit options offered by VISA and MasterCard are commonly accepted. But there are other alternatives that are as efficient, such as Skrill, Neteller or PayPal. 

Online DFS Sites Accepting QAR 

Daily Fantasy Sports are still a growing industry, especially in the Middle East. For this reason, and as players still have to access offshore platforms, it is not possible to find online DFS sites accepting QAR yet.
