Saudi Arabia Suspends 147 Online Gambling Websites Over Regulatory Violations
Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has suspended 147 online gambling websites for operating without proper authorization within the Kingdom. The regulatory action forms part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to enforce its anti-gambling laws and protect citizens from unauthorized and illegal gambling activities. The CITC stated that all gambling platforms must comply with Saudi law, and any site operating without approval is subject to suspension. This latest move highlights the Kingdom's strict stance against gambling, which remains prohibited by law in the country. The enforcement underscores the authorities' commitment to monitoring and regulating online activity to uphold legal and social standards.
