You Must Be 18 to Gamble in Mongolia

In Mongolia, individuals aged 18 and above can participate in regulated gambling activities, such as the national lottery and horse racing, which are culturally significant events. Casino-style gambling is prohibited, although there have been proposals to legalize casinos for tourists in special zones.

Illegal gambling operations exist but are subject to strict penalties, including fines and imprisonment for operators and participants. The government enforces these laws to ensure public order and prevent gambling-related harm. Visitors should engage only in state-approved gambling options to avoid legal issues.
