Economics and statistics

Mozambique's gambling economy is concentrated in Maputo and coastal tourist corridors.

The structure of turnover is determined by sports betting and lotteries; the casino/slots block remains niche, but adds margin through tables, ETG and F&B, especially in hotel locations.

The main driver of frequency is mobile money: micropayments and "mobile-first" UX support a high flow of transactions, while retail outlets retain significance in cities and along highways.

Seasonality is expressed by the football calendar (weekend/prime time) and tourist peaks when the drop on the tables and the average check grow.

Fiscal revenues are formed from licenses, fees/taxes on GGR/turnover and corporate taxes; digitalization of reporting increases collectability.

In employment, the sector pulls retail, security, IT/data support, marketing and F & B.

Key KPIs: Number of licensed operators and POS/agent outlets, online share of turnover, average check and betting frequency, payout/take rate, live vs pre-match, ARPU/ARPPU, device stack and mobile money share, GGR by product (sports/lottery/slots/live), tax revenue and valuation "gray" segment.

Risks - offshore traffic, payment failures, currency and weather volatility of coastal zones; growth factors - eKYC and near real-time reporting, telco/hotel partnerships, localized content and responsible play tools.
