Angola

Licensed

The Gaming Activity Law (Law 17/24 of 28 October 2024) replaced Law 5/16 and requires a licence or concession from the state for games of chance, social games and online games. The ISJ supervises the market and has unlicensed sites blocked through the telecoms regulator INACOM. Online licences run for up to ten years.
