Online operation specifically requires ministerial authorisation, with the ARJ supervising day-to-day. Operating an online gaming activity without authorisation is a criminal offence punishable by 6 months–2 years imprisonment and/or a fine of CFA 5–25 million. Operators must be locally incorporated, hold a .cm domain and (for online) post a CFA 200 million bank guarantee. Licences run 5 years (online) and 10 years (land-based) and are non-transferable. No distinct B2B supplier licence class is established.
