Online casinos in Congo – Brazzaville
Legal status of digital casinos in the Republic of the Congo: not regulated, players can play freely online
Even though certain forms of online gambling are legal in the Republic of the Congo (i.e.: online lottery, bingo, other digital lottery-like games and sports betting), online casinos are not yet regulated in the Republic of the Congo, unlike in the DRC, the neighbouring country.
/Interesting fact: Interestingly, even though the online penetration rate is lower in the DRC (23.2%1, while in Congo – Brazzaville it is at 32.1%2) online casinos are legal and regulated since 2011 in the DRC and in Congo – Brazzaville they are still not addressed by the gambling legislation./
Online casino licences are not issued in the country, and consequently there are no Republic of the Congo licensed digital casinos.
The few domestic Congolese internet gambling companies (e.g.: Paridirect) do not have any casino games on their electronic gambling portals.
Players from Congo – Brazzaville can only play on foreign casino gambling websites. Offshore online casinos are not blocked and players can play freely in international online casinos. However, only a few of the big digital casinos are available in French (official language of the country) and accept player from Congo.
By scrolling below you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Congolese players.
Can tourists play online while visiting the Republic of the Congo?
Yes, tourists, expats (or illegal migrants) can play online freely while enjoying their stay in the country.
Online casino licensing and regulatory body of the Republic of the Congo:
Online casino licences are not issued in the Republic of the Congo at the time of writing. There are no locally licensed Congolese casino websites. None of the brick & mortar Congo casinos operate any digital platforms.

Land-based casinos in the Republic of the Congo
Legal status of casinos in Congo – Brazzaville: legal since 1991, operators require a licence
Land-based casinos are legal in Congo – Brazzaville since 1991.
There are 3 casinos in the country, 2 of them are located in the capital, Brazzaville, and 1 is located in Pointe-Noire.
UPDATE 2022: There are now 4 casinos in the country: 2 in Brazzaville and 2 in Pointe Noirre. Although, as a result of the down
Apollo Games is the biggest domestic casino group in the Congo (operates 2 out of the country’s 3 casinos)1. They operate the biggest and best looking casino of the country, which is Apollo Games Nabemba Casino (on the picture at the top of the page).
/Comment: Sadly, not much else is known of the casino sector of the country, because of the proximity and similar name the significantly larger Democratic Republic of the Congo (92 million people, compared to Congo – Brazzaville’s 5,6 million), most gambling blogs, and legal websites only focus on the DRC and very rarely do they mention the Republic of the Congo./
All casinos must acquire a licence from the Ministry of Finance (details of the Congo casino licencing process, fees and requirements can be found below).
Despite the poverty and obscurity of the Congo it receives around 300,000 visitors per year, which is above the Sub-Saharan African average (which is around 200,000 per year, although only a few of these visitors are actually tourists, but there is no official data on the percentage of tourists though).
/Comment: Interestingly, the small Republic of the Congo receives on average as many tourists as its significantly bigger neighbour the Democratic Republic of the Congo. So even though 300 K visitors per year might sound rather low it’s actually a decent value in compariosn to other countries in the region./
UPDATE COVID-19: However the global coronavirus pandemic had a very bad effect on the tourism and hospitality sector of the country and the number of visitors decreased by about 50%, down to around 150,000 per year. This downturn badly effects the casinos as well, casino closures are expected2.
Only casinos are legal, slot halls do not appear to be legal in the Republic of the Congo. There is no separate slot hall licence, only casino licences are issued.
You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.
Can locals visit the casinos in the Republic of the Congo?
Yes, both locals and tourists can visit the casinos in Congo – Brazzaville, unlike in some other countries (e.g.: in Muslim countries, where gambling is legal, casinos are usually available to the tourists only, locals can not enter).
Casino licensing and regulatory body of the Republic of the Congo:
The Ministry of Finances, Budget and Public Portfolio is responsible for issuing gambling licences to brick & mortar casinos. Their website is available in English as well.
You will need the following to be eligible for a casino gambling licence:
- a Congolese company;
- registration of the Articles of association;
- National Identification Number;
- import & export number;
- proof of company formation in the legal journal;
- registration with the tax authorities;
- declaration of the establishment of the company with the Inspectorate of Labour (l’Inspection du Travail);
- Operational Permit.
The other requirements are not known, no information is available of them online.
The annual licence fee is not known.
If you know more about the Congo casino licences please leave a comment at the bottom of the page, thank you.

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! |
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.

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! By being on this site, you agree to terms and conditions, and privacy policy. You must be at least 18, and if you are a gambling addict, or a citizen of Hungary, please leave the site. |
