The future of the industry

Until 2030, Azerbaijan is likely to continue the conservative model: the ban on casinos and online casinos will remain, and the legal segment will be built around lotteries and licensed sports bets (18 +).

Increased compliance is expected - extended eID/KYC, behavioral anti-fraud, payment control and GGR reporting.

Advertising and sponsorship will receive a tighter framework (age filters, warnings, format restrictions).

On the side of the players is the development of responsible play tools: limits, self-exclusion, monitoring of risky behavior.

Potential growth drivers - digitalization of payments, local partnerships with sports leagues and analytics Integrity; offline casino legalization scenarios are unlikely, only point pilots in the field of lotteries and betting are possible.
