## Full section analysis

Enforcement in Tunisia has historically been described as suppression-oriented rather than systematically pursued, with rare action taken against individual users of offshore gambling sites. That posture is set to change materially if the draft law revising Decree-Law No. 74-20 is enacted: the bill proposes prison sentences of one to five years for the use and promotion of unlicensed digital gambling platforms, a substantial escalation from the status quo. This is, at present, a Probable-confidence, pre-enactment proposal; the interpreter assigns it a fragile durability tag appropriate to draft legislation rather than an enacted statute, and no primary Journal Officiel or Assembly-record text was located this cycle to independently corroborate the bill's precise wording, leaving corroboration resting on secondary press and commentary. Read against the civil-law pattern in which unlicensed operation is typically an offence under the gambling statute itself rather than a secondary licence-breach theory, the proposed penalty would bring Tunisia's enforcement architecture into closer alignment with that regional model, converting what is currently an enforcement gap into an explicit criminal exposure.
