The future of the industry

Until 2030, the trajectory of the Sierra Leone market will be determined by the emergence of a clear online license, unification of KYC/AML requirements, self-control (limits, self-exclusion) and advertising, and deep integration of mobile money.

Tourism, mobile Internet and live betting will support demand; digitalization of lotteries/bets and monitoring of sports integrity will reduce risks.

The basic scenario is the gradual legalization of online formats and tax stabilization; optimistic - inflow of investments, regional compatibility of rules (ECOWAS), growth of non-cash payments; conservative - preservation of fragmentation, offshore demand leakage and vulnerability to cyber threats and match fixing.
