The future of the industry

Until 2030, phased legalization and standardization of online games with separate permissions, unified reporting and enhanced KYC/AML (ID verification, liveness, limits and self-exclusion) is likely.

Payments in XAF will be fixed through bank transfers/POS and mobile wallets, "T + 0" payments will accelerate, commissions will decrease and anti-fraud will improve.

The product will shift to lightweight mobile slots, live games, crash/instant formats, tournaments and localized topics (ocean, football, tropics).

Tourism and MICE events will support land sites; the state is likely to tighten advertising standards and data protection requirements.

Risks - a small base of solvent demand, seasonality and acquiring costs; opportunities - telco partnerships, bilingual localization (ES/FR), transparent data reporting and responsible-by-design as a competitive advantage.
