H2 report warns African governments could lose $11bn in gambling tax revenue
A report by H2 Gambling Capital says African governments could lose up to $11bn in tax revenue over the next five years without timely regulation of online gambling. It estimates that only around 15 African countries had laws tailored to online gambling as of early 2025, while offshore operators could capture up to 75% of gross gaming revenue in poorly regulated markets.
The estimates frame the potential fiscal and market consequences of online gambling regulation for African governments and operators.
