By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
Madagascar has introduced Draft Law No. 019/2026 to regulate gambling nationwide. The proposal would set a minimum gambling age of 21, prohibit credit betting and require operators to provide self-exclusion tools, deposit limits and playtime restrictions. The National Assembly has adopted the bill, but it has yet to become law.
Why it matters
The proposal would require operators to verify players’ age and legal capacity and implement controls on deposits and playing time.
