Laws and regulation

The legal regulation of gambling in Guinea-Bissau remains fragmented: priority is lotteries and sports bets on state permits/concessions, while casino formats are limited.

Basic licenses and fiscal payments are required, the 18 + age threshold and general KYC/AML procedures are in effect.

There is no special framework for online casinos yet: access to foreign platforms is actually possible, but their activities are not considered locally licensed.

The key vectors of development are the codification of rules, increased supervision, responsible play programs and the unification of requirements for operators and payments.
