The future of the industry

Until 2030, the Ivory Coast market will grow thanks to the formalization of online casinos and betting, deep integration of mobile money (Orange/MTN/Moov) with eKYC, unification of advertising rules and data protection.

Priorities are transparent taxes on GGR, self-control tools (limits, self-exclusion), sports integrity monitoring and cybersecurity.

Base scenario: gradual online legalization, growth of non-cash payments, stabilization of fiscal revenues.

Optimistic: investment inflow, development of "casino + hotel + events" clusters in Abidjan, regional compatibility of norms in ECOWAS, expansion of French-speaking live tables.

Conservative: persisting rule fragmentation, grey retail dominance and slow adoption of RG tools.

The key to sustainability is LONACI/operator compliance, transparency and consumer protection.
