Laws and regulation

In Angola, gambling is allowed in a licensed format and is supervised by a specialized state body (under the Ministry of Finance), which issues permits, monitors compliance with the rules and the financial stability of operators.

Land casinos, bookmakers and lotteries are legal; separate licenses, capital requirements, technical systems, accounting, KYC/AML and player protection are provided for each activity.

The online segment is allowed only for operators with a local license and compliance with the same compliance standards; unauthorized foreign sites are considered illegal.

The age threshold is 18 +.

The tax model includes a specific tax on gambling activities and corporate fees, with reporting and audits.

The regulator pays attention to responsible play: self-exclusion, limits, verification of sources of funds and advertising restrictions.

For violation - fines, suspension or revocation of the license, blocking unlicensed services.

This framework is focused on market transparency, consumer protection and countering the gray online segment.
