Economics and statistics

Mauritius is a diversified Indian Ocean island economy, relying on finance, ICT outsourcing, tourism, sugar processing and light industry.

The gambling sector is small in terms of its share of GDP, but it consistently generates tax revenues and jobs in tourism and entertainment.

The market is regulated by GRA, in the legal field there are land casinos, betting and bookmakers for races, a national lottery, as well as limited remote services - with an emphasis on responsible play and compliance.

Revenue is subject to seasonality of tourist flow (high months are the peak of vacations), while the average check of tourists is higher than the local one.

Cashless payments (bank cards, local mobile solutions) dominate, and the share of online rates is growing with the development of digital channels.
