The future of the industry

In the coming years, the Mozambican market will remain "mobile-first": online bets and casinos built into bookmakers (microstores, live markets, fast games) will provide growth, while offline sites will retain a niche role in 4-5 hotels and in the resort areas of the Indian Ocean.

Payments will connect deeper with mobile wallets and banking APIs; eKYC/AML will switch to nat-ID and behavioral analytics, limits, self-exclusion and age-verification will increase.

The regulatory vector is more transparency: near real-time reporting, technical certification, clear advertising requirements and localization of responsible messages in Portuguese and popular local languages.

Commercial drivers - partnerships with telco, clubs and resort ecosystem (hotels, tour operators), lightweight web clients, mini-games within the framework of sportsbook and gamification.

The fiscal emphasis is shifting to expanding the base by withdrawing revolutions from the "gray zone," and not by raising rates.

Risks: offshore traffic, payment failures and weather volatility of the coast; answers - backup payment channels, anti-fraud analytics and IT fault tolerance.

The baseline scenario is moderate but steady growth in GGR and employment while increasing transparency and social responsibility.
