The 72,700 daily visits refer to the combined estimated traffic from Tunisia to all bookmakers listed on the Top100Bookmakers page for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the data, <strong>bet365 leads<\/strong> the market with approximately 64,500 daily visits from Tunisian users, accounting for the vast majority of traffic. The platform is followed by Stake with 6,150 visits and Unibet with 608 visits. Other operators attracting traffic include LiveBet (211 daily visits), Roobet (173), and William Hill (129).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The figures indicate continued traffic from Tunisia to international betting websites even though <strong>sports betting <\/strong>in the country is officially controlled by the state operator Promosport. Sports betting in Tunisia is organised through Promosport, a state-owned operator that functions under the supervision of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and holds a <strong>monopoly <\/strong>over legal sports betting and lottery activities in the country, according to regulatory analysis by LegalPilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The traffic estimates illustrate how offshore betting platforms continue to <strong>attract players<\/strong> in markets where legal betting is controlled by state-run operators. The trend reflects broader developments across parts of North Africa, where demand for digital sports betting is increasing despite <strong>restrictive licensing frameworks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<div id=\"see-also-container\">\r\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/03\/photo-1558008258-7ff8888b42b0-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"related-article__text\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/african-teams-gear-up-for-inaugural-esports-nations-cup'>African teams gear up for inaugural Esports Nations Cup<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traffic estimates indicate that international sportsbooks continue attracting Tunisian players outside the country\u2019s state-run betting system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2809,"featured_media":22456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Despite Tunisia's state-controlled sports betting monopoly, international platforms are attracting significant traffic, with an estimated 72,700 daily visits from Tunisian players.
