Online casinos in Malawi

Legal status of digital casinos in Malawi: illegal, players are not prosecuted

 

Online casinos are not addressed by the Malawi gambling legislation and therefore they are technically illegal.

However, this is just a technicality and this not enforced, at all (all forms of unlicensed gambling is technically illegal).

There are no Malawi licensed digital casinos, online casinos licences are not issued in the country.

Malawian players, who visit foreign casino websites are not prosecuted. Offshore online casinos are not blocked. Malawi players can paly freely online.

This is not surprising considering that the internet penetration rate of the country is still only 20%1.

/Comment: Based on our experience writing about online gambling laws in Africa for the past 5+ years, African countries usually only start properly regulating internet gambling when the internet proliferation is around 50%./

UPDATE 2022: Malawian players can still play freely online, foreign online gambling websites are not blocked, and players are not prosecuted for placing bets in unlicensed online casinos. However, it is technically illegal, even if it is not enforced, and therefore we do not recommend it.

UPDATE 2022: I added this section because you might be wondering:
How is it legal for online casinos to accept players from Malawi? Isn’t it illegal?It’s only illegal for Malawian citizens to play online. These foreign online gambling websites, which accept players from Malawi, are registered and licensed in foreign countries, and the Malawi laws only apply within the borders of the country (within the so called jurisdiction, they do not apply to these foreign gambling websites).According to the local gambling laws of the countries in which these offshore gambling companies operate it’s perfectly legal to accept players from Malawi.But it’s not legal for Malawian citizens to place bets on these platforms.International law can be complicated, and enforcement is even more tricky. I hope this clears this up.

However, I officially do not recommend playing online from Malawi, it’s illegal, and you should always act according to the laws of your country, even if it’s not enforced.

By scrolling below you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Malawian players.

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Malawi?

Yes, tourists, expats (or illegal migrants) can play online freely while enjoying their stay in the country.

 

Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Malawi:  N/A, online casino licences are not issued in Malawi

Land-based casinos in Malawi

Legal status of casinos in Malawi: legal since 1996, operators require a licence

 

Casinos are legal in Malawi since 1996, according the Gambling Act1, which is the main piece of the gambling legislation.

The following forms of games of chance are allowed inside the Malawian casinos, according to the 1998 Gambling Regulations Act2:

  • roulette;
  • black jack;
  • craps;
  • punto banco;
  • baccarat;
  • poker;
  • slot machines (with an additional slot machine licence);
  • chemini de fer;
  • bingo (with an additional bingo licence).

 

The Malawi Gaming Board has the right to authorize any other types of game of chance. However, the legislation only mentions these specifically, a business needs to apply for a special permission if they want to conduct any other type of gambling (e.g.: pachinko, details can be found in the Malawi casino licensing section below).

The casinos sector is very small due to the poverty of the population and the downturn in the number of visitors the country receives (UPDATE COVID-19: due to the global coronavirus pandemic, the number of visitors is down from 871 K visitors per year3, the exact current number is not known, official figures were not yet published at the time of writing).

There are 3 proper casinos in Malawi, these are:

  • Casino Marina in Lilongwe,
  • Casino Marina Blantyre,
  • and Colony Club Casino in the Amaryllis Hotel (on the picture at the top of the page).

 

You can find the official full list of Malawi casinos here. However, this is outdated, it lists American Pirates Casino as the third venue, but the place closed due to the global pandemic (as far as we can tell, if they are still open please let us know in the comments section) and it also does not list Casino Marina Blantyre.

Additionally, slot halls are also legal In Malawi, with a “gaming machine site licence”.

There are 23 slot parlours in Malawi, according to the Malawi Gambling Board, you can find the official full list here.

The presence of slot parlours also contributes to the low number of casinos.

/Comment: Slot halls have been banned in most of Africa, because they are known to increase the incidence of gambling addiction and problem gambling much more than casino hotels. It is very likely that slot parlours will be banned in Malawi too in the coming years./

You can find the currently operating Malawian brick and mortar casinos in the list below.

 

Can locals visit the casinos in Malawi?

Yes, both tourists and locals can visit the casinos of country.

 

Casino licensing and regulatory body of Malawi:

The Malawi Gaming Board is responsible for the licensing and regulation of casino in Malawi. Their website is available in English.

The licencing requirements, fees and process can be found in the 1998 Gaming Regulations Act and in the 2015 Gaming Amendment Regulations Act.

The following types of gambling licences are issued in Malawi according to article 2 of the 2015 Gaming Amendment Regulations Act4:

  • gaming machine operator licence (to operate slot machines);
  • gaming machine site licence (for slot halls);

You can learn more about the legal status of the various forms of offline and online gambling in Malawi here.

 

Bitcoin casinos Malawi

Legal status: not regulated

 

Cryptocurrencies are illegal in Malawi, according to the Reserve Bank of Malawi, which issued a statement clarifying the situation in 2020*.

The central bank states that due to the country’s current anti-money laundering laws it declares all digital currencies illegal, du to the anonymity and lack of transparency offered by the use of virtual currencies.

This means that placing bets with bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, ripple and other crypto coins, is illegal as well. However, this is entirely unenforced, and players are not prosecuted.

/Comment: It is pretty much unenforceable. It’s not possible to trace players and their transactions, the government couldn’t target players, even if they tried./

There are no local bitcoin casinos in Malawi, but some foreign crypto gambling websites accept players from the country.

The bitcoin casinos below accept players from Malawi.

Thank you for visiting:
This is a selfie of the author and owner of Simon's Casino Gambling Blog, me, Simon András Péter, a.k.a. by the internet pseudonym SimonTheSorcerer, owner of Simon's Online Marketing Kft. This is the homepage of my online casino gambling blog, you can see what's on the website, the links to all the different sections of the website.

That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting.

Don't worry, this is not an ad! ;) Just wanted to make sure to tell you that I'm glad you visited this gambling blog. I'm Simon, the only author and the man behind this blog (if you are interested, my unusual life story can be found on the homepage, under the "About me" dropdown section).
I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that).
Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you!

Charity: As a way to help others, to give back, I sometimes donate to Kiva. If you click on the ads on the website, I make some money. And in a good month, if I make more than my expenses, I donate to people and projects on Kiva.
Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you!
