Analysis of the fiscal reform package, according to WTS Global said: \u201cThe Initial Finance Law for 2026 introduces several new tax and customs measures<\/strong> aimed at strengthening Senegal\u2019s domestic <\/strong>revenue mobilisation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside these fiscal changes, the legislation <\/strong>introduces a range of measures across sectors including mobile money<\/strong> services, telecommunications concessions, vehicle imports and exports of commodities such as gold and agricultural products. Additional excise duties<\/strong> targeting alcohol and tobacco products also form part of the package<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The development comes as betting activity continues to expand<\/strong> across Senegal, driven by increasing mobile connectivity<\/strong> and strong interest in football wagering. Analysts project the country\u2019s gambling market could reach around $2.1bn by 2026<\/strong>, highlighting the growing scale of betting and lottery activity across the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The shift towards mobile wagering has accelerated in recent years, supported by rising smartphone adoption <\/strong>and improved digital infrastructure. Industry surveys indicate that more than 90 per cent of sports bettors<\/strong> in Senegal place wagers online or through mobile platforms, underlining the central role <\/strong>digital betting now plays in the country\u2019s gambling ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sector\u2019s continued growth mirrors broader trends across Africa<\/strong>, where expanding betting markets are increasingly being integrated into national fiscal frameworks as governments seek to align regulation and taxation with industry development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\nBetting market growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
