The rule in Cameroon
Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments
Cameroon licenses and taxes gambling. Authorization runs through the Ministry of Territorial Administration and the gaming regulator, the Agence de régulation des jeux, and covers entertainment, commercial and online gambling. An online license runs 5 years, and the operator pays 15% of GGR. The practical constraint is the rail, because Cameroon's deposit economy is mobile money and an operator without MTN MoMo and Orange Money integrations has no working cashier, whatever its license says.
