Online casino: Penal Law 5737-1977 ss.225-227 criminalise organising, playing and selling tickets for forbidden games, lotteries and bets (organiser 3 years, player 1 year); s.233(2) presumes cards, dice and machine games are games of chance for money. Only lotteries (Finance Minister permit, s.231(a)(1)) and Mifal HaPayis bets (permit, not on sports, s.231(a)(2)) are exempted; the Sports Betting Law covers sports only. State Comptroller report 61B says police/State Attorney treat foreign servers as no exemption for gambling directed at Israelis.

Online poker: Israel's Penal Law 5737-1977 s.224 defines a forbidden game as one where money can be won and the result depends more on chance than on skill, and s.233(2) treats card games as such games unless the contrary is proved. Organising and playing forbidden games are offences, and no permit route covers poker. The presumption can in principle be rebutted; no court ruling was opened.

Online lottery: Mifal HaPayis lotteries are lawful by Finance Minister permit (s.231(a)(1); Comptroller 2021: it 'holds lotteries according to a State license'). Whether and how tickets are sold online could not be confirmed: pais.co.il was unreachable.
