Morocco's enforcement posture against offshore online gambling was destabilised this cycle by a judicial reversal. The Casablanca Commercial Court had ordered internet service providers to block offshore betting platforms, with fines of MAD 10,000 per day of non-compliance, but the Casablanca Court of Appeal suspended that order in February 2026, leaving offshore access open to Moroccan consumers pending a final ruling. This finding is assessed as probable, corroborated by more than one trade-press account of the same appellate stay, though no primary court-ruling text was reached this cycle. Separately, Moroccan judicial authorities have opened investigations into social-media influencers promoting offshore betting sites, a development held at an uncertain confidence tier given its reliance on a single source. Both threads point to an enforcement apparatus that is active in intent but currently contested in its principal mechanism, with the underlying 1966 Dahir framework itself unaffected. No safe-harbour doctrine or licensing off-ramp exists for offshore operators; the contest is purely over whether and how the state can technically block access, not over whether the underlying activity is prohibited.
