BGN – Bulgarian Lev (лев) at Online Casinos in 2024

There are many things to ask yourself before signing up with an online casino. If you want to play with Bulgarian lev then the most obvious, besides do they accept Bulgarian players, might be if they accept this currency. If not, then you may want to consider gambling with a different currency, if you hold one, such as Euros (€) or United States Dollars ($). Since exchanging your lev into another currency will cost you currency conversion fees, your best option would be to choose another online casino.

Of course, there are other things to ask yourself such as if the offshore casino is licensed and regulated in a reputable EU Member State (or Swiss Confederation) such as Sweden, the United Kingdom or Malta.

Overview of the Bulgarian Lev

The Bulgarian lev ↱ is the official currency of Bulgaria. The word 'lev' meant 'lion'. This currency is pegged to the Euro at €1 = 1.95583 leva. Each lev is divided into 100 stotinki (стотинки). The currency was introduced in 1881 with a value equal to the French franc. It has been pegged to different currencies over its life including the German Reichsmark in 1940, the Soviet ruble in 1944 and the U.S. dollar in 1945.

Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007, and it was expected that they would adopt the Euro in 2012. The plans had been put on hold because of the 2008 financial crisis and the Eurozone crisis, which soured the appetite for Euro adoption. The timing for Euro adoption is unclear. However, it is expected that it will happen.
