Casinos in Côte d'Ivoire: 2026 guide

None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.

Regulation

Côte d'Ivoire rebuilt its framework with Law No. 2020-480 of 27 May 2020, which created the gambling regulator ARJH (Autorité de Régulation des Jeux de Hasard). The system has two tiers: lotteries, sports and horse race betting, virtual betting and online gaming are granted as a concession to the state company LONACI, while land-based casinos, slot halls and promotional games operate under ARJH authorisations. A decree of December 2023 clarified the concession regime: only LONACI may organise the conceded games, but it can admit private operators through agreements, which is why several international bookmakers operate legally. The currency is the CFA franc, and payments run mainly through Orange Money, MTN MoMo, Moov Money and Wave mobile money. Players should choose operators working under an agreement with LONACI.
