Guinea-Bissau

Unregulated

Guinea-Bissau has no specific law on games of chance and no online licensing regime. The Ministry of Tourism oversees land-based activity, mainly state-run lotteries and a few betting shops, and banned Colos Colos gaming machines in 2019. Offshore betting and casino sites are not blocked.

Low confidence. This record rests on thin sourcing and is queued for a primary-source check.
