Legal situation in Angola
Angola's gambling sector is governed by the Gaming Activity Law (Lei da Actividade de Jogos), Law No. 17/24 of 28 October 2024, which replaced Law No. 5/16 of 17 May 2016. The law covers games of fortune or chance in casinos and gaming rooms, social games such as lotteries and sports betting, and games played online anywhere in the national territory. Regulation, supervision and enforcement lie with the gaming regulator, the Instituto de Supervisão de Jogos (ISJ), which sits within the Ministry of Finance.
Operating online games requires a licence or concession, and operators must have their registered office in Angola with gaming as their exclusive business. Games must be played in kwanza and through the payment systems in force in Angola. Casinos may only be run by public limited companies holding a ten-year licence awarded by public tender in designated gaming zones. Lotteries such as totobola and totoloto are granted by concession after a public tender, and fixed-odds sports and horse-race betting require a licence, also awarded by tender. Entry to gaming venues is barred to anyone under 18.
Online games of chance are legal only at operators holding an Angolan licence or concession supervised by the ISJ; other sites are not authorised.
Check that an online operator is authorised by the ISJ and transacts in kwanza before opening an account. Under Law 17/24 the regulator can bar a person from gaming rooms for up to five years at that person's own request.
