Online casino

Eswatini does not have a full licensing regime for online casinos and remote betting: local permits are not issued, and resident services are considered unlicensed activities.

Foreign sites are technically accessible, but without regulatory protection for the player and with the risk of blocking accounts/payments.

Operators are advised to exclude the country from T&C, apply geoblock, BIN/IP/telephone filters, KYC/AML screening and not advertise to a local audience.

Online payment environment is limited: offline cash and cards dominate; e-wallets and mobile payments are developing gradually, but gambling merchants face failures and compliance barriers.

The trend on the future horizon is the unification of rules with offline (age control, RG tools, advertising), however, until a separate law is introduced, any online offers for residents remain in the "gray zone."
