Laws and regulation

Mauritania's legal regime is based on Sharia law and provides for a total ban on casinos, bookmaking, lotteries, poker and online games.

There is no specific regulator and permit procedures; any organization of games, mediation (including affiliate marketing) and advertising are considered offenses with the risk of fines, confiscations and prison terms.

In the digital sphere, offshore site locks and payment monitoring are used.

For business, the conclusion is unambiguous: no B2C/B2B activities in the field of gambling; only non-standard leisure and media formats without cash bets and winnings are allowed.
