Land-based casinos

The land-based casino market in Guinea-Bissau is small and centered around the capital Bissau and individual hotel and entertainment venues.

Operators work under state permits with requirements for transparency, reporting and compliance with age restrictions (18 +).

Cash and mobile wallets prevail in the calculations; bank cards are used selectively.

Attendance is formed by local players and business/tourist visitors.

Key barriers - limited solvency and competition with bets/lotteries; opportunities - development of hotel clusters, standardization of licensing, strengthening KYC/AML and responsible play programs.
