Côte d’Ivoire

State monopoly

Law 2020-480 gives LONACI an exclusive concession for lotteries, betting and online games. Online sports betting is offered by LONACI and by partners it approves, such as 1xBet, Betclic and PremierBet. Casinos and slot machines fall outside the concession and need approval from the ARJH.
