Laws and regulation

In Sierra Leone, regulation is concentrated on betting and lotteries overseen by the authorities; licenses, fiscal payments and reporting are provided for operators.

There are age restrictions (usually 18 +) and basic KYC/AML compliance procedures, measures to protect players and responsible gambling.

A specialized framework for online casinos is developing: local requirements for remote services are still limited, so access to foreign platforms is actually possible, but is not considered locally licensed.

The regulator's priorities are streamlining rules, transparency of payments and increased supervision over advertising and the protection of minors.
