Economics and statistics

Algeria does not form a legal gambling market: there are no licenses, therefore, there is no gross gaming income (GGR), tax revenues, official employment and public reporting for the sector.

The economic profile boils down to the costs to the state - network monitoring, blocking, investigation and confiscation - and indirect losses such as some consumer demand going offshore/grey area.

The tourism and hotel economy does not receive "casino supplements," and statistics on games are not highlighted either in national accounts or in industry bulletins.

Any estimates of the volume of the illegal segment are speculative in nature and cannot serve as a basis for planning or investment.
