Considering Iran is an Islamic country, it is unsurprising land and online gambling are strictly prohibited in the Middle Eastern nation. And for the same reason, it is highly unlikely that Iran's long-time gambling ban will be lifted anytime soon, or that Iranian online casinos will ever be permitted to operate. That said, some Iranians seek to play at offshore gambling sites.

Gambling In Iran
Iran is a Middle Eastern nation that strictly adheres to the religion of Islam, which means the majority of its laws, rules and punishments are derived from the ages-old Koran, the official religious text of Islam that Muslims consider to be the actual word of God.
Because it is written in the Koran that Muslims should not partake in gambling in any shape or form, gambling is banned in most Islamic nations, Iran being no exception. Being that Iran's gambling status is derived from an ancient religious text that has been around for eons, there is no chance Iran will amend its gambling laws anytime soon.
Online Gambling In Iran
Like land gambling, online gambling is also frowned upon in Iran due to the ancient religious text, the Koran. And like land gambling in Iran, there is no chance the Iranian government will ever license and regulate online gambling within its borders, which would open the way forward for the launch of Iranian online casinos.
That said, there is thought to be a small number of gambling fans (no doubt non-Muslim) in Iran that reportedly flout the law and gamble online at foreign-owned and hosted online gambling sites, although this number of gamblers is thought to be small, considering that Iran is a nation that supports the use of capital punishment.
