Laws and regulation

In Chad, gambling is allowed in licensed formats - lotteries, betting parlors, gambling parlors and promo draws.

Operators are required to register locally, obtain a category permit, pay fees and comply with technical conditions (accounting for bets/payments, honesty of games, availability of rules).

There are basic standards for responsible play: age threshold 18 +, advertising restrictions (cannot be addressed to minors and vulnerable groups), requirements for transparency of payments.

On the payment side, the focus is shifting to cashless scenarios and mobile wallets, which strengthens KYC and measures against money laundering (AML/CFT).

The regulatory trend is the gradual unification of the rules for offline and online: electronic reporting, age verification and self-control tools (limits, self-exclusion).

The fiscal model typically combines royalties, gross gaming income accruals, and deductions with winnings; the priority of the state is a legal, predictable and socially responsible market.
