Costa Rica
Located in Central America, Costa Rica is a peaceful tropical paradise. Many sportsbooks and online casino operators located themselves in Costa Rica in the early days. Many are still there.
However, there has never been a specifically regulated online gambling industry in Costa Rica as there are no specific laws against offering online gambling services internationally.
Costa Rican operators run under what’s called a Data Processing license. This allows the operator to process data… There is no government entity to regulate the activities of the operators.
Costa Rica appeals to operators that require less restrictive, low-tax environments. As there are no specific gambling regulations, an operator is free to do business with a player in any location and there is no gaming tax.
There is roughly a 50/50 split between sportsbook and casino revenues in Costa Rica which indicates the greater than normal significance of sports betting in Costa Rica.
Interestingly, there are street names In Costa Rica but nobody uses them. Every house address is in relation to something else; 50m north east of the church, left of old tree, third house along for example. No room for confusion there then.
Remarkably, Costa Rica disbanded its army in 1949 and focused instead on education, healthcare, and conservation. The country relies on its police force for internal security. It has defense agreements with other nations, including the United States.
