LONASE's 2026 communique, alongside its refreshed seventeen-operator authorised list, explicitly states that any platform not on the list is considered clandestine, and that owners of unauthorised sites and complicit payment operators are exposed to legal proceedings. This is confirmed at communique level but carries a fragile durability character, since no primary regulatory text implementing the warning has been located this cycle; it nonetheless represents a new accessory-liability dimension, extending prosecution exposure to payment intermediaries for the first time in the evidenced record. The underlying legal basis remains the durable monopoly statute, Loi n°1987-43, which vests LONASE with exclusive rights over games of chance and forecasting. Separately, LONASE deepened its operational collaboration with the financial-intelligence unit CENTIF to identify illegal betting-sector transactions, a probable-confidence development that, while not yet codified as a standalone statutory obligation, signals rising monitoring intensity around the betting sector. Taken together, the widened authorised list, the new payment-processor liability theory, and the deepening CENTIF collaboration mark a clear tightening of the enforcement environment relative to prior cycles.
