The future of the industry
Until 2030, Vanuatu is likely to maintain a "small market under high control" model.
Key accents: (1) digitalization - e-KYC, online reporting, transaction monitoring; (2) regulatory clarity on advertising and protection of vulnerable players (limits, self-exclusion, affordability checks); (3) sustainability - business continuity plans for halls and lotteries, taking into account weather risks and seasonality of tourism.
Point pilots of remote products (for example, sports pools) are possible in partnership with regional providers with strict compliance and local payment gateways.
The growth will be progressive and is associated not with the expansion of the assortment, but with the quality of service, transparency of turnover, responsibility and integration with the tourist ecosystem of Port Vila.
