Laws and regulation

Algeria adheres to a strict prohibitive model based on sharia and criminal law: gambling in all forms (casinos, sports betting, lotteries, poker, online games) is illegal.

There is no licensing authority or permit procedure; organization, mediation (including affiliate marketing), advertising and acceptance of bets entail fines, prison terms and confiscation of equipment and revenue are possible.

Internet providers and payment channels use locks and filters against offshore sites.

For business, the conclusion is unambiguous: there are no legal B2C/B2B scenarios in the field of gambling on the domestic market; only non-standard entertainment formats are allowed.
