The rule in Senegal

Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments

LONASE holds the betting monopoly and online has never had formal licensing, so offshore brands such as 1xBet and 22Bet operate under foreign or technical-partner cover. Senegal does not block these sites, and the state competes with them through LONASE, which signed development partnerships in February 2026 and launched LPbet, its own online sportsbook, to pull activity onto a state platform. A 20% tax on winnings and a proposed mobile-money levy push volume the other way. Wave has become the default deposit rail on near-free person-to-person transfers in a market where bank penetration is under 30%. Orange Money still has the reach but polices the gambling MCC, so aggregators bridge it at a cost in margin and risk.
