LONASE’s founding law and permissions for physical casinos do not by themselves confirm an online casino website. The specific permission claimed by the company and the games it covers need to be identified.
What the LONASE law says
Article 2 of Law 87-43 of 28 December 1987 assigns LONASE lottery, gambling, prediction and related activities under the state monopoly. This historical text contains no list of approved Internet domains. A betting brand or announced partnership does not by itself establish permission for a website’s casino games.
A permission can cover a specific premises
Decree 2019-1175 of 22 July 2019 authorizes Fily Capital SARL to operate Star Casino at a specified address on Rue de Thann in Dakar. Two other decrees in the same Gazette add bingo to named establishments. These acts show why the location and permitted games matter; they do not establish Internet permission.
Online betting and Lonase Way
LONASE’s FAQ directs readers to lonase.bet for online betting. It also identifies Parifoot as sports betting and PMU as horse racing. The FAQ gives readers a way to check the betting address, but it does not list which casino games, if any, are authorized on that domain.
On 8 June 2026, the Senegalese Press Agency reported the launch of Lonase Way, developed by LONASE with Jaap Sénégal. The report names the platform and the partner. It gives neither a consumer web address for Lonase Way nor the terms of any casino authorization.
Checks still needed for a website
To verify an online casino, look for the name of the holder, the games covered, the exact web address and the dates of the authorization. The law, physical casino decrees and launch report cited here do not supply that combination.
