Online casinos in Mayotte

Legal status of digital casinos in Mayotte: legal since 2010, operators require a licence

 

Online casinos are officially illegal in Mayotte, according to the French online gambling laws (you can read more about them here).

However, while these are enforced in metropolitan France (mainland France), in Mayotte with its’ 23.2% internet penetration rate1 (one of the lowest in Sub-Sharan Africa) it is not enforced.

Even though online gambling was legalized in France in 2009, according to Law 2010-476 2010 (Loi no. 2010-476 du 12 mai 2010 relative à l’ouverture à la concurrence et à la régulation du secteur des jeux d’argent et de hasard en ligne)2, due to pressure from the European Union3, this legalization did not include online casino gambling.

Online casino gambling is thought to be more addictive and therefore dangerous than other forms of wagering because of digital slots.

/Comment: Despite this, slot machines in brick & mortar casinos are allowed according to the French gambling legislation./

However, there is ongoing legal conflict between gambling companies licensed in other EU countries, the EU and the French government regarding the legal obligations of EEA (European Economic Area) members.

You can read the detailed explanation below, but in short: this means that Mayotte players can play freely in online casinos licensed in other EU countries (you can see a list of them below).

France, Mayotte and the EU gambling laws: Because France is an EU member state and part of the EEA, Article 56 TFEU4 and Article 8 of Directive 98/34/EC5 (EU gambling directives) apply to it (these apply to the French overseas territories as well, including Mayotte). These articles state that EU online gambling companies should be provided access to the French market, and a way to obtain local licences, including online casino licenses.

However, because France does not issue digital casino licenses online gambling websites licensed in other EU countries can not be blocked or prosecuted, according to some interpretations of the EU laws. This would violate the free flow of services within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Opinions are divided on this issue, and there is considerable litigation behind the scenes. Verdicts vary greatly and they depend on the judges’ interpretation of the EU, EEA and local laws. Therefore, some online casinos (you can see a list of them below), which are licensed in the EU, continue to accept players from France and the French territories.

/Comment: Many European countries are in a similar situation. The verdicts of the EU top court are manifold and controversial.

E.g.: Germany was in a similar situation. It did not issue online casino licenses prior to 2021, and the EU top court ruled that Germany can not block or prosecute unlicensed operators (or their German players) because they didn’t provide them with a way to obtain local online casino licenses.

UPDATE 2022: However, German authorities started issuing online casino licenses in 2021 due to pressure from the EU.

It seems like the EU’s firm stance on market liberalization and their commitment to the unified EEA is slowly emerging victorious from this drawn-out legal battle.

This is indicative that eventually France and its’ territories will also be forced to open up their online casino sectors, due to mounting pressure./ 

As a result, Mahoran players can freely visit offshore online gambling websites (as long as they have a subsidiary, which is licensed by an EEA member country), and they are not prosecuted for it.

/Comment: Nobody was ever fined or prosecuted for playing on gambling websites licensed in other EU countries, despite all the fearmongering and deliberate misinformation by certain European governments./

However, despite the EU laws discussed above, the French government does block the biggest unlicensed online wagering sites, according to Decree 2011-2122 of 30 December 20116, albeit illegally. Many of the blocked online gambling companies have taken action, and there are many ongoing lawsuits because of this.

However, this does not extend to Mayotte and the other French territories, only the internet service providers (ISPs) of metropolitan France block unlicensed EU gambling websites.

This is far from a settled issue, but for now online casino licenses are not issued in France and players in France and in French territories can play freely in foreign online casinos (which have a licensed subsidiary in an EEA country).

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

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Mayotte?

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

 

Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Mayotte: 

N/A, online casino licences are not issued in Mayotte or in France.

Land-based casinos in Mayotte

Legal status of casinos in Mayotte: legal since 1907, operators require a licence

 

Casinos are legal Mayotte, according to the French gambling law Article L.320-1 of the French Code of Homeland Security (Chapitre préliminaire: Dispositions communes  – Articles L320-1 à L320-18)1, which applies to the French overseas territories (including Mayotte) as well.

Despite this there are no casinos in Mayotte currently, due to the two following reasons:

  • low number of tourists (Mayotte only receives around 60 K tourists per year2, even though most of these are wealthy French tourists, this is still well below the Sub-Saharan regional average)
  • high casino tax rates (French gambling tax rates, which are notoriously high, apply to Mayotte as well, you can see the Mayotte casino tax rates below)

 

UPDATE COVID-19: The global pandemic made the situation eve worse and it reduced the already low number of tourists in Mayotte. However, the exact post-coronavirus numbers are not known, because the government did not publish any official figures at the time of writing.

What is certain is that right now it is unlikely that any of the big international casino groups would invest into a casino hotel project in Mayotte due to the current situation (due to French laws casino have to be attached to hotels to spas in Mayotte, standalone casinos are not possible). It is unlikely that there will be a casino in Mayotte in the next 5 years.

UDPATE 2022: There are still no casinos in Mayotte, at the time of writing.

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

 

Can locals visit the casinos in Mayotte?

Yes, both tourists and locals could visit Mayotte casinos. But there aren’t any currently.

 

Casino licensing and regulatory body of Mayotte:

Casino licences are not issued in Mayotte. You have to apply for a casino licence in France. You can read more about the French casino licencing process, fees, requirements here.

Only companies license by the French L’Autorité nationale des Jeux  (ANJ) can operate casino venues in Mayotte and in other French overseas territories.

/Comment ANJ replaced ARJEL (Autorité de régulation des jeux en ligne) in 2020 as the casino gambling authority./

Taxation of brick & mortar gambling establishments in Mayotte:

French gambling tax rates, which are extremely high, apply to the French overseas territories (France d’outre-mer) as well.

These high taxes keep the number of gambling establishment down in mainland France (also called metropolitan France), which is their goal, considering that there are over 200 casinos in the country as it is. However, in Mayotte they act as a deterrent to investment, and high taxes are one of the main reason why there aren’t any casinos in Mayotte yet, despite the influx of wealthy French tourist, which regularly visit the island (and pensioners, who settle there permanently).

The French gambling tax system is progressive* and it’s also very complicated. It’s likely the worst gambling tax regime in the entire world, certainly the worst in Europe. You can see it below.

*Progressive tax definition: The tax rate depends on the revenue, there is no flat tax rate, the more a company earns the more tax they pay. Progressive taxation discourages growth.

Mayotte casino tax rates
Activity: Rate: Tax Base:
Casino tax Casinos have to pay 28% tax in the first round + then the following progressive tax rate is applied to the remaining revenue in the second round of taxation, based on their annual gross gaming revenue:

  • Up to EUR 100,000: 6%
  • EUR 100,001 and EUR 200,000: 16%
  • EUR 200,001 and EUR 500,000: 25%
  • EUR 500,001 and EUR 1 million: 37%
  • EUR 1,000,001 and EUR 1.5 million: 47%
  • EUR 1,500,001 and EUR 4.7 million: 58%
  • EUR 4,700,001 and EUR 7.8 million: 63.3%
  • EUR 7,800,001 and EUR 11 million: 67.6%
  • EUR 11,000,001 and EUR 14 million: 72%
  • EUR 14 million: 83.5%
gross gaming revenue
Gaming club tax Gaming clubs (special type of casino, VIP, entrance fee, dress code, must be owned by a non-profit or must be located in Paris) have to pay the following:

  • 10% of revenue, up to EUR 100,000
  • 30% of revenue, EUR 100,000 – EUR 1,500,000
  • 40% of revenue, EUR 1,500,000 – EUR 2,600,000
  • 55% of revenue, EUR 2,600,000 – EUR 5,500,000
  • 70% of revenue, above EUR 5,500,000
gross gaming revenue
Slot machine tax 11.2% tax is paid on 68% of the gross gambling revenue from slot machines gross gambling revenue from slot machines.
Withholding tax (comment: this incentivises gambling companies to make players lose as much as possible, very bad practice, luckily very few countries implement withholding taxes on players’ winnings, like this) 13.7% players’ winnings

 

As you can see French tax rates are incredibly high, the highest gambling tax rates in all of Europe, and most likely in the world as well.

Gambling taxes are payable in addition to licensing fees and regular taxes (e.g.: corporate tax, which is 31% in France), according to the French tax laws.

 

For the players, taxation of casino winnings in Mayotte: 13.7%

Gambling winnings over €1500 are taxable, at a rate of 13.7%, according to French laws.

Casinos and all licensed domestic gambling companies are required to pay taxes on the players’ winnings (withholding tax, it’s automatically deducted), not the players. Therefore, players don’t have to pay additional taxes on their winnings after this deduction, as long as their winnings come from licensed legally operating venues and websites.

Other forms of online gambling in Mayotte

Most other forms of online gambling are legal in Mayotte.

However, online lottery is a monopoly of the FDJ (Française des Jeux, the French lottery company, its’ monopoly on lottery extends to Mayotte as well, privatized since 2019). Additionally, the biggest online sports betting company of France PMU (Pari Mutuel Urbain) also accepts bettors from Mayotte (used to have a monopoly on sports betting, but not anymore, private digital bookmakers with a French licence can also accept punters from Mayotte).

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

 

Bitcoin casinos Mayotte

Legal status: technically illegal, players are not prosecuted

 

Cryptocurrencies are legal in France and in the French territories.

France’s Financial Markets Authority, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) accepted the Pacte Bill in 2019 making it possible to create bitcoin trading and exchange companies in France*. This de facto legalized and legitimized bitcoin in France.

However, bitcoin gambling is illegal** due to concerns regarding money-laundering, fraud and terrorism financing. According to the National Gaming Authority (ANJ):

“The use of cryptocurrencies is forbidden on the websites of authorized operators who are obligated to combat fraud, money laundering, and terrorism financing”

In short: none of the France licensed gambling companies can accept cryptocurrencies either offline or online.

Many of the big bitcoin, litecoin and ethereum casinos are blocked in France (but not in the French territories). However, players who place bets on these offshore crypto gambling platforms are not prosecuted, only the companies operating these websites are targeted by the authorities.

Additionally, as is the case with all other forms of online gambling, this is contested in courts and gambling companies licensed in other EU jurisdictions still accept players from France and they also allow these French players to use virtual currencies as well while the lawsuits are still ongoing. This is not settled issue and significant changes are expected in the coming years.

This is why the bitcoin casinos below accept players from Mayotte.

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!

Logo of Kiva.org. You can read about my non-profit activity right next to the picture.
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!
