Laws and regulation

Monaco regulates the gambling sector centrally, with a focus on elite tourism and risk control.

Land-based casinos operate under exclusive concessions (including the Monte Carlo complex) under direct government supervision.

Access to games is allowed from the age of 18 by ID; Monaco citizens are prohibited from playing in casinos, which historically enshrines the tourist nature of the industry.

Operators are required to comply with strict KYC/AML procedures, responsible play protocols, video surveillance, security, cash reporting and data storage requirements.

Advertising is limited to image formats, dress code and rules of conduct are enshrined in internal regulations.

Online casinos in the jurisdiction are not a priority: the focus is on a premium ground model with maximum transparency and security.
