Finding the best Serbian casino online

With a fully regulated market, Serbian gamblers have plenty of online casino options and a wide variety of welcome bonuses that can boost your playing funds and often give you a fistful of free spins for top slots as well. But it can be difficult to narrow down which are the best sites for you and your needs. That’s where our casino enthusiasts come in. We cover every aspect of the online casino experience in our reviews of all the international and local gambling sites.

Within our meticulous casino reviews, you will find a full breakdown of the welcome bonus you will receive when signing up and/or making your first deposit(s). We don’t shy away from giving you the full details on any significant terms and conditions attached to the welcome bonuses. And, of course, we cover all of the available games types and give our recommendations on the best online video slots, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, live dealer and poker games to try first.

Furthermore, we will give you the lowdown on exactly which payment methods are available for either depositing or withdrawing your winnings (including transaction times, any limitations, and whether you can use the Serbian dinar).

Gambling regulation – The Serbian Games of Chance Administration

All online gambling sites in Serbia need to be licensed by the Games of Chance Administration (GCA), while Serbia’s Tax Department and Ministry of Defense does various checks to ensure that companies are following the law, keeping their finances in perfect order and that all of the games are fully tested for fairness. This is all great news for Serbian players, as they can simply get on with playing their favorite games without worrying too much about online safety.

The market was finally regulated after a rather grey area over gambling within the country by the passing of the Games of Chance Act, which came into effect from late 2011 onwards. Another effect of this law was to break up the monopoly that the government had over the iGaming industry, sports betting, and the selling of lottery tickets, for example. This has all created much-needed competition within the industry, which in turn means better deals for Serbian players.

Localized online casinos

A knock-on effect of the above-mentioned laws and forcing all betting companies operating in the market to obtain licenses means that a great many sites are localized for Serbia. Therefore, it’s much easier to find Serbian-speaking customer support agents, and that many sites will have all their promotions, terms and communications translated into the Serbian language. Plus, for those interested in playing live dealer games in Serbia, the croupiers on a few of the tables will often be able to speak Serbian, as well as the far more common English.

The only sticking point you might find is that there aren’t many sites that accept the dinar compared to those that accept euros. So, you may have to convert money when playing.

Casinos in Serbia

Serbians can also enjoy a night out with friends at plenty of different land-based casinos throughout the country. Naturally, these tend to be located in the most populous areas, such as in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, Kragujevac, and Kraljevo, for example. The capital Belgrade has more than 20 high-quality casinos alone. Some of the most famous ones include the Admiral Club, Eldorado, Fair Play Casino, Grand Casino Beograd, and the Hotel Metropol Palace. So, if the Las Vegas-style experience appeals, be sure to take a trip to the capital city when you can.
