The
Republic of Mozambique is a country located in Southeast Africa. It comprises the population of about
twenty-four million (estimated in 2014). Mozambique is one of the emerging economies in the African region. Since 2001 it has shown immense growth in the
country’s annual GDP.
The Internet penetration rate in the country
is not great, though it has 8.1 million users connected to Internet (estimated
in 2012). Which is about 4.8% of its
population. There are 8.1 million users
connected to the mobile phones as compared to 4.4 million (estimated in 2012).
Gambling is legal and regulated since 1994 in
the country. However in 2009 they
revised the gambling law and came out with few changes. The new law made little easy to establish
gambling business. The main concern to
revise the law was to increase tourism, attract investors and economic
development.
Online casino is also legal and regulated
(2009) in the country. Untill 1994 only
land-based casino was legal. Currently, there
are two land-based casinos operating in the country. Arguably, lottery is the most common and
favorite form of gambling in Mozambique. Mozambique’s national lottery is called Empresa de Lotarías e
Apostas Mutuas de Mozambique.
The national lottery is currently
not available in online platform. There
are many international companies who provide a lottery platform to play online
for the Mozambique players. There are no
Mozambique based online casinos or lotteries right now.
