Online casino
Samoa does not have a separate licensing regime for online casinos, so local operators are not actually represented on the network.
Advertising for remote gambling services is limited, and banks and payment providers are cautious about transactions related to the game.
For users, this means increased responsibility when contacting foreign platforms: mandatory age verification (18 +), understanding risks, using limits and self-exclusion tools.
For business - a high barrier to entry: compliance with AML/KYC, the absence of local domain/payment "windows" and strict requirements for informing and protecting vulnerable players.
