Economics and statistics

Guinea-Bissau's gambling industry is compact and centered around lotteries and sports betting; the casino segment is represented pointwise, and the online direction is at an early stage.

Budget revenues are formed mainly due to license fees, taxes on turnover/profit and fixed payments, employment - in retail PPPs, lotto distribution and related services (cash registers, security, IT).

Payments are dominated by cash and mobile wallets, international fintech channels are used selectively.

Demand is sensitive to seasonality (tourism, football calendar peaks) and household income.

Growth drivers - formalization of rules, digital payments and responsible play tools; risks - low solvency, gray turnover and cybersecurity.
