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.
