No private operator licence is issued for sports betting or lottery — these are exclusive MDJS state monopolies under the Dahir, with SOREC holding horse-race betting and Loterie Nationale the draw-based lottery. Land-based casinos are licensed by the state case-by-case on 10–20 year terms in tourist cities. There is no online gambling licensing regime of any kind. B2B supply to MDJS is by direct contract (Intralot has been principal technology supplier since 2010), but no open B2B agrément class exists; supplying offshore grey-market operators serving Morocco creates legal risk. Poker has no standalone Moroccan statute and falls under the general prohibition on unauthorised games of chance.
