State monopoly

LONASE holds the state monopoly on games of chance and betting under Law 87-43 of 1987, and runs online betting itself and through partner platforms. In June 2026 it published a list of 17 authorised operators and declared all others clandestine. Land-based casinos are authorised under Law 66-58 of 1966.
