Economics and statistics

Togo's gambling market is compact and focused on lotteries and sports betting; the share of casinos is niche, the online segment is being formed.

Budget revenues are provided by licenses, fees and revenue taxes/GGR; employment is concentrated in retail PPPs, agent networks, call centers, compliance, IT and security.

Mobile money (TMoney, Fluoz) dominates the payment structure, supplemented by bank cards and cash; online turnover is growing with digitalization and eKYC.

Demand is sensitive to household income, the football calendar and tourist seasonality.

Growth drivers - formalization of online rules, expansion of non-cash payments and Responsible Gambling; risks - gray retail, limited solvency, cybersecurity and match fixing.
