Foreigners are defined as anyone from non-Chinese territories (which encompass Macau, Hong Kong, and Taiwan). The six operators in Macau have established areas specially for gambling by foreigners across an aggregate of 12 casino properties. However, the proportion of foreign visitors to Macau has always been small.

Some prominent jurisdictions where online gambling is legal and regulated include the United Kingdom, Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, and Alderney. These countries have established licensing authorities that oversee online gambling operators, ensuring consumer protection and fair play.
