Adopted by the Ministerial Council<\/strong> on September 7 and formalised through a decree, the platform will serve as a central hub<\/strong> for the country\u2019s gambling operations, providing oversight and accountability across the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A L\u2019Union Gabon report stated: \u201cThe government has approved the creation of a national integrator-aggregator entrusted to the Gabonese company e-Tech SAS, as part of a public-private partnership<\/strong> with a Canadian partner. This platform will provide comprehensive regulation of the sector, ensure the traceability of financial flows<\/strong>, guarantee the payment of winnings to bettors<\/strong> and optimise taxation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The platform, once operational, will bring all operators under a single regulatory framework<\/strong>, track financial flows to prevent fraud, guarantee payouts and introduce modern responsible gambling tools such as age verification<\/strong> and addiction monitoring. Officials emphasise that the reform is designed to support<\/strong>, not displace existing operators,<\/strong> giving them time to regularise their status and align with the new standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The report added: \u201cIt should also create local jobs<\/strong>, enable better monitoring of addiction risks and protect all stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gabon\u2019s initiative is part of broader digital reforms<\/strong>. In September, the government introduced a legal framework to modernise public administration<\/strong>, enhance transparency, strengthen data security and increase participation of local private-sector firms in public tenders. By linking the gambling platform to these reforms, the country is positioning itself as a regional leader in tech-driven<\/strong>, well-regulated gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the framework promises significant changes, the online gambling sector<\/strong> remains largely unregulated, with residents still able to access foreign platforms. The Ministry of Finance and National Lottery Authority continue to oversee licensing and compliance for existing operators<\/strong>, ensuring that the sector remains accountable and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For licensed operators and investors, this move signals a new era of transparency, growth and opportunity<\/strong>, establishing a competitive, modern and fully regulated gambling market in Central Africa.<\/p>\n\n\nTransforming gambling and oversight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
