Minister Sadok Mourali unveils a revised draft law aimed at modernising betting regulations, protecting sports integrity and securing revenue streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Tunisia.- Tunisia <\/strong>announced a major reform<\/strong> of its gambling and sports-betting laws, aimed at tightening oversight<\/strong>, cracking down on unlicensed activity and protecting the integrity of sporting competitions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister of Youth and Sports Sadok Mourali<\/strong> has revealed a comprehensive revision <\/strong>of the draft law <\/strong>covering games of chance, money and sports betting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Webdo report states: \u201cThe minister presented the complete revision of the draft law on games of chance, money and sports betting, which was adapted to international standards<\/strong> to combat manipulation and money laundering<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The draft has been submitted to the Prime Ministry<\/strong> and awaits review<\/strong> by the Council of Ministers, marking a major step in Tunisia\u2019s efforts to regulate a sector where sports betting, particularly online<\/strong>, has long operated in a grey zone<\/strong>. Casinos and lotteries remain tightly controlled<\/strong>, but offshore operators have exploited regulatory gaps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The report added: \u201cThe objective is to secure<\/strong> the sector and prevent any external influence likely to harm the integrity of the competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In November 2024, reports stated that the reform followed consultations<\/strong> with multiple public institutions, including the Central Bank<\/strong> and Competition Council, underscoring the government\u2019s aim to secure revenue streams and enforce integrity in competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The law is part of a broader sports-governance reform<\/strong>, which includes improved club management, stadium safety and competition oversight. Key details such as licensing procedures, taxation<\/strong> and online operator rules remain unpublished, with analysts noting that the law\u2019s practical impact will only be visible once enacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tunisia\u2019s government is signalling a clear intent to tighten <\/strong>regulatory control, protect the betting industry, and safeguard<\/strong> sports integrity, potentially reshaping the country\u2019s gambling and sports sectors for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Minister Sadok Mourali unveils a revised draft law aimed at modernising betting regulations, protecting sports integrity and securing revenue streams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2809,"featured_media":14528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Tunisia's Minister Sadok Mourali has unveiled a revised draft law aimed at modernizing betting regulations, tightening oversight, and combating unlicensed activity.
