Somalia has no licensing system for any form of gambling, and the authorities treat betting and casino games as prohibited. The Somali Penal Code, published in the official gazette on 16 December 1962, is described by secondary sources as the original statutory basis for the ban on games of chance, and the 2012 Provisional Constitution makes Islamic Sharia a primary source of legislation, which reinforces it. The exact penal code provisions could not be read for this page. There is no state lottery, licensed casino, licensed betting shop or licensed gambling website in the country.
Recent action has focused on online betting. In August 2023 the Minister of Communications, Jama Hassan Khalif, ordered internet service providers to block access to the betting platform 1xBet, together with TikTok and Telegram, citing gambling promotion among other concerns, with a deadline of 24 August 2023. In November 2023, according to secondary reporting, the National Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Commission announced a nationwide ban on all gambling and told banks and mobile money providers to stop serving gambling operators and to freeze gambling-related accounts. In November 2024 Puntland's president issued a decree banning the 1xBet app and ordering the Golis, Somtel and Amtel telecom companies to close accounts used for betting.
