Senegal's gambling sector this cycle is defined by fiscal tightening under Law 17/2025's 20 percent tax on winnings, applied retroactively from December 2025 and layered on 2025 double-taxation measures, while LONASE pursues LPbet as a state-monopoly-led standardisation vehicle for online gambling. No consolidated gambling act exists in Senegal, and online gambling continues to be addressed only through general e-commerce consumer-protection law rather than a gambling-specific instrument. The result is a market where fiscal capture is proceeding materially faster than structural licensing reform, with LONASE's lottery and sports-betting monopoly and Ministry of Interior casino authorisation remaining the only clearly defined statutory channels, and digital betting growth outpacing the legal structure built to govern it.
