Puntland president bans 1XBET gambling services
Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni issued an executive decree banning 1XBET betting and gambling services in Puntland, according to the report. The order directs telecommunications companies to stop opening accounts for the services and close existing accounts. The report said the named providers had not shown willingness to comply, while an anonymous member of parliament questioned whether the presidency had authority to issue the ban.
Telecoms are directed to restrict 1XBET accounts, but reported compliance and authority questions may complicate enforcement.
