The future of the industry

The baseline scenario for Somalia is the continuation of a complete ban on offline and online gambling.

Until 2030, the appearance of licenses, registers of operators or regulated advertising is not expected: religious legal norms and the priority of social stability will preserve the status quo.

Any "pilots" would concern only cash-strapped forms of leisure (e-sports without bets, quizzes, gamification of sports) and youth protection initiatives.

Potential changes are possible only with large-scale institutional reforms and consensus of religious and civil structures, which is unlikely in the medium term.

For business, the market is closed; for the audience - focus on legitimate, non-ordinary entertainment.
