Online gaming and games of chance posted gains in July, even as a decline in territorial social games pulled overall gaming collections lower.

Angola.- Angola’s gaming market recorded mixed results in July 2026, with collections from games of chance rising 14.60 per cent and online gaming collections increasing 4.57 per cent, while collections from territorial social games fell 8.66 per cent. Total gaming collections declined 5.69 per cent month-on-month, according to the Institute for the Supervision of Games (ISJ).

Territorial social games remained the largest contributor to fiscal gaming revenue, accounting for 83.77 per cent in July. Games of chance accounted for 11.60 per cent, while online gaming represented 4.63 per cent.

According to the Institute for the ISJ’s Informativo No. 11 for July 2026, online gaming collections rose to Kz138.31m (US$150,665) in July, from Kz132.26m (US$144,072) in June. Collections from games of chance increased to Kz346.72m (US$377,909), from Kz302.54m (US$329,565).

The ISJ of Games said the increase in collections on prizes, despite the decline in collections on gross revenue, resulted in overall growth of 4.57 per cent for the online segment.

Games of chance recorded the strongest percentage increase among the three main gaming categories, with collections rising 14.60 per cent month-on-month. Collections on prizes increased 33.27 per cent to Kz278.13m (US$303,192) in July.
