Common questions

Short answers, with links to the pages that cover each topic in full.

Read the guides
Is online gambling legal in the Maldives?

We cannot give legal advice, and readers should check current law with official sources. Gambling is restricted in the Maldives: the Communications Authority has blocked betting websites on police orders since July 2024, and the government submitted a bill in December 2025 that would make gambling a criminal offence. As of 11 September 2026 we had not confirmed that the bill has passed. Our casino laws page covers the details and sources.

Does KiraBet recommend or link to casinos?

No. KiraBet is an independent informational publication. It is not a gambling operator, it does not take bets, and this edition contains no affiliate links or links to gambling operators. Our affiliate disclosure explains how commercial activity is kept separate.

Where does the game data come from?

From the studios themselves: official game pages, rules documents and launch announcements, each linked on the game's page. Operators can run different RTP versions of the same game, so a published figure is the provider's stated value, not a guarantee of what any site offers. Unpublished values are left empty.

What does RTP mean?

Return to player is the theoretical share of all money wagered on a game that is paid back over a very large number of rounds. A 96% RTP does not mean a player gets back 96% of what they stake in a session; short-term results vary widely. Our RTP guide explains it with examples.

What is a live casino game?

A table game or game show streamed from a studio with a human dealer or presenter. Cards, balls and wheels are physical, and cameras and recognition software turn each result into data for the interface. See how live casino games work.

How often is the information updated?

Each page shows its publication date, last update and, where applicable, the date it was fact-checked. Regulatory pages are revised when new official information or credible reporting appears. Our review methodology sets out recheck intervals for game and provider data.

Where can someone in the Maldives get help with gambling problems?

Our Maldives responsible gambling page lists support options we have verified, including free international services, along with warning signs and practical first steps for players and families.

18+Gambling involves financial risk

Gambling can cause harm

No game gives a guaranteed return, and losses cannot be won back by playing more. If gambling is affecting your money, work, sleep or relationships, support is available — including free services you can contact from the Maldives.
