The future of the industry

Until 2030, Mauritius, relying on the status of a financial center and developed tourism, will gradually increase its "white" market share through clear rules for online verticals and updating requirements for licenses, AML/KYC and advertising.

We expect progress towards a single set of responsible gambling standards (limits, self-exclusion, behavioral analytics), and in payments - strengthening of non-cash and local e-wallet's with instant enrollment and strict verification.

Horse racing will remain unique and receive a digital upgrade (streaming, in-play models, integration with travel packages), football and international leagues will continue to pull bets all year round.

Marketing will become quieter and more targeted (compliance-by-design), and operators will become more data-driven: anti-fraud, personalization, responsible offers.

Key risks - offline cannibalization, margin pressure due to taxes and complaints, as well as competition from offshore sites; the answer is channeling traffic to the licensed segment, a transparent tax model and partnerships with hotels/resorts.

Bottom line: A robust, moderately growing market with a focus on quality of service and player protection.
