The future of the industry

Until 2030, the North Macedonia market will evolve towards the "legal digital perimeter": stricter KYC/AML procedures, limits and responsible play tools, centralized monitoring of turnover and transparent licensing of the online segment.

A gradual increase in the share of distance bets and live games is expected, the introduction of non-cash payments and e-ID, as well as the unification of rules with European standards.

Tourist demand and a cross-border audience from neighboring countries will support offline locations, but the key to sustainability is the operators' omnichannel model, local content and compliance on the "European scale."
