Check online casino permission in Mozambique

Law 1/2010 governs casino-game concessions and provides for computer-mediated operation under government regulation. A betting, lottery or bingo permission does not by itself establish authorization for an online casino.

Casino and social gambling have different scopes

Article 1 excludes social amusement games from the law’s scope. Article 5 requires a prior concession and permits computer-mediated gambling on terms to be regulated. Article 10 lists games including roulette, blackjack, poker and slot machines. The individual concession must identify the games it covers.

What the IGJ online guidance says

The Inspectorate General of Gaming’s guidance for social and amusement games mentions an MZ domain, protection of minors, responsible gambling, privacy, terms, company and licence information, HTTPS and Portuguese certification. The guidance itself limits a website to authorized games. That checklist does not turn social-game permission into a casino concession.

The new regulation and the unresolved date

On 17 September 2026, IGJ published a statement about a new framework for casino games delivered electronically or through computer systems. The National Press catalogue identifies Decree 61/2026 with that subject. However, its linked record also displays a 2016 date. The full text, correct publication date and commencement have not been confirmed by this reading.

Match the company to the website

Confirming a website requires the concession holder, authorized casino product, exact domain, territory and validity to match. This guide does not present a current approved casino roster or treat a policy statement or betting licence as website approval.
