South Sudan

Unregulated

There is no licensing regulator for betting or games of chance. The Financial Act 2024/2025 introduced a 10% excise and a 24% gross gaming tax collected by the South Sudan Revenue Authority, while betting shops and online bookmakers operate without a licensing regime.

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