Mozambique

Licensing opening

Online sports betting is licensed under the existing framework for social and entertainment games, and land-based casinos run under concessions. In July 2026 the Council of Ministers approved a regulation that makes online games of chance a separate concession, independent of physical casinos. Fees, tax and the application process have not been published.
