Online casinos in Tunisia
Legal status: illegal, players are not prosecuted
Online gambling is actually legal in Tunisia, surprisingly.
Not many Muslim majority* countries have legalized gambling, and almost none of them legalized online gambling.
*98% of the Tunisian population is an adherent of Islam.
Tunisia always had a reputation as one of the most liberal and secular Arab countries, especially since the 2011 Arab spring protests in the country.
It is not known exactly when online gambling was legalized, but it is certain that it happened between the passing of Law No. 63-D3 in 1984 (which legalized sports betting) and the 2022 takeover of the national lottery by Sisal.
/Comment: Previously, the Tunisian national lottery licence was awarded to Austrian Games Industries1, but for unknown reasons in 2022 the licence was granted to Sisal instead2, who will have a monopoly on online gambling as well./
There aren’t any domestic Tunisia licensed online casinos.
Online gambling in Tunisia is the monopoly of Italian gambling company Sisal, a subsidiary of Irish Flutter Entertainment.
However, not all forms of online gambling are legal in Tunisia, and online casino are certainly not of them.
Consequently, playing in foreign international online casinos is illegal, even though there are a few, which accept Tunisian players (you can see a list of them below).
However, there is no enforcement regarding this ban and Tunisian players, who visit foreign online casinos are not prosecuted.
Interesting fact: Online casinos used the be blocked in the country prior to 2011. However, ever since the 2011 protests this internet censorship system was dismantled amid the democratization and liberalization in the wake of the Arab spring.
Some of the big international online casinos accept Tunisian players, and even though Tunisians are not prosecuted for playing in such digital casinos, we still don’t recommend playing in these offshore digital casinos, because it is officially illegal, and you should always act according to the laws of your country, even if it is not enforced.
| UPDATE 2022: We added this section because you might be wondering:
How is it legal for online casinos to accept players from Tunisia? Isn’t it illegal? It’s only illegal for Tunisian citizens to play online. These foreign online casino sites, which accept players from Tunisia, are registered and licensed in foreign countries, and the Tunisian laws only apply within the borders of the country (within the so called jurisdiction, they do not apply to these foreign casino 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 Tunisia. But it’s not legal for Tunisian 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, we officially do not recommend playing online from Tunisia, it’s illegal, and you should always act according to the laws of your country, even if it’s not enforced, play at your own risk. |
By scrolling below you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Tunisian players.
Can tourists play online while visiting Tunisia?
Yes, tourists, expats (or illegal migrants) can play freely online while they enjoy their stay in Tunisia.
Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Tunisia: N/A, online casino licences are not issued in Tunisia.

Taxation of online casino sites in Tunisia: N/A, there is no online casino tax in place in Tunisia
For the players, taxation of online casino gambling winnings in Tunisia:
Online casino gambling winnings are taxable in Tunisia since 2016, according to law no. 53- 2015 of December 254 (effective from 2016).
According to law no. 53 personal income tax applies to gambling winnings, regardless of the source.
Additionally, VAT is applicable too.
And on top of this, according to article 52. I., c ter, of the code on personal income tax and corporate tax:
“Income tax and corporate income tax are subject to withholding tax at the following rates:
… c ter. 25% in respect of revenue from betting, gambling and lottery games…”
Quite a lot of taxes on players’ winnings. The highest deduction we have seen in any country, by far!
This applies to foreign online casinos as well, not just domestic Tunisian online gambling platforms.

Land-based casinos in Tunisia
Legal status of casinos in Tunisia: legal since 1974, operators require a licence, slot halls are illegal
Casinos are legal in Tunisia since 1974, according to Law-decree no. 74-20 on Betting, Chance and Lottery Games1.
Between 1954 (independence from France) and 1974 gambling was entirely illegal, as is expected from a Muslim majority country (98% of the population are adherents of Islam).
According to Shari’ah law, upon which the Tunisian Penal Code2 is based on, games of chance are haram (except horse racing betting, betting on camel races and archery contests), according to Sunan Abi Dawud3, which is the officially accepted hadith in Tunisia).
The Tunisian hospitality and tourism sector has grown rapidly ever since the legalization of casinos in the 70s and it reached its’ peak prior to the coronavirus pandemic with 9.5 million tourists per year4.
However, the global pandemic had a devastating effect on the tourism sector and the number of tourists visiting the country has fallen to 2 million per year, not even 30% of the original value.
This has a really bad effect on the casino sector of Tunisia and the number of casinos has fallen.
There are only 4 casinos currently in operation in the country, post-pandemic, These are: Grand Casino Djerba, the Grand Casino Yasmine, Casino Veneziano and Hotel & Casino Cesar Palace.
Casinos are located in resort towns, none of them are located in the capital, Tunis.
Casinos can only be visited by tourists/expats/people with foreign passports, locals are absolutely forbidden from entering (except the employees, but the employees are also forbidden form placing bets).
/Comment: This is unsurprising considering that according to a survey, only 2% of the Tunisian population thinks that gambling is a morally acceptable activity5./
The biggest casino of Tunisia is Le Grand Casino De Djerba on Djerba island and the second biggest is Grand Casino Yasmine (formerly: Casino La Médina), located in Hammamet.
You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.
Can locals visit the casinos in Tunisia?
No, locals can not visit the casinos in Tunisia.
Casino licensing and regulatory body of Tunisia:
The Tunisia Ministry of Tourism is responsible for issuing casino licences.
However, their websites does not have any information about licensing fees, requirements and the process, and most of the information on the website is only available in Arabic.
As a result we don’t have any information about the Tunisian gambling licensing requirements, fees or the process.
If you have any information about the Tunisia gambling licensing system please leave a comment at the bottom of the webpage. Thank you.
Taxation of brick & mortar gambling establishments in Tunisia:
In accordance with law no. 53- 2015 of December 25, the common note of the tax administration no. 9/2018, and also Article 30 of the bill on the budget of 2021 casino gambling activities are subject to the following tax rates:
| Tunisia casino taxes | ||
| Gambling activity: | Rate: | Notes: |
| Gambling tax | 15% | of the gross operating margin |
| Local Authority Tax | 0.2% | of the local turnover of the entity, with a minimum calculated on the basis of the number of square metres of construction used by the entity |
On top of this, the standard corporate tax, which is 25%, applies to gambling companies as well.
Additionally, gambling is not VAT exempt.
For the players, taxation of casino winnings in Tunisia:
Gambling winnings are taxable in Tunisia since 2016, according to law no. 53- 2015 of December 256 (effective from 2016).
According to law no. 53 personal income tax applies to gambling winnings, regardless of the source.
Additionally, VAT is deducted as well (by the casinos, from the players’ winnings, automatically).
And on top of this, according to article 52. I., c ter, of the code on personal income tax and corporate tax:
“Income tax and corporate income tax are subject to withholding tax at the following rates:
… c ter. 25% in respect of revenue from betting, gambling and lottery games…”
Quite a lot of taxes on players’ winnings. The highest deduction we have seen in any country, by far! This only applies to Tunisian casinos, therefore we do not recommend playing in the casinos of this country.
/Comment: It’s basically a borderline scam at this point. Even if you do manage to win you won’t see any of it due to the extreme taxation of winnings./

List of all casinos in Tunisia
This is a list of all casinos in Tunisia, with address, opening hours, number and types of games, dress code, entrance fee, reviews and a video of each gambling establishment, if one is available.
Grand Casino Yasmine
Grand Casino Yasmine, address: Yasmine Casino, Espace A2, Hammamet 8000
The casino of the Medina of Yasmine complex (a.k.a. La Médina Méditerranea complex) in Hammamet is the biggest casino in Tunisia currently.
It was formerly called Casino La Médina and many gambling blogs still refer to it as such.
The casino opened its doors in 2004.
Sadly, the casino no longer has any online presence (it used to have a website, but nowadays even finding pictures of the casino online is a difficult task). Additionally, none of the nearby hotels or even the Medina complex mentions the casino (UPDATE: Tripadvisor is the only exception).
This not surprising, considering the locals’ attitude towards gambling, it is still a controversial topic, even though they have been legal since the 70s.
The casino floor is 2000 m2.
Games: 100 gaming machines (slots, video poker, sadly most of the slots appear to be at least 15+ years old, bad selection), and around 12 tables (European Roulette, blackjack, punto banco, stud poker).
Video of Grand Casino Yasmine:
Opening hours: 8a-4pm daily
UPDATE COVID-19: open
Dress code: unknown, no info about it online, but I would recommend smart casual
Entrance fee: unknown, if you know please leave a comment
Meta review analysis: no reviews
18+, ID, and passport for tourists, is needed to enter.
Grand Casino Djerba
Grand Casino Djerba, address: BP 94 Route Touristique Sidi Mehrez, Djerba Island 4179
Full name: Le Grand Casino de Djerba.
The casino no longer has any website, just like all the other Tunisna casinos (it is not known why all of the casino venues decide to abandon their websites).
The casino is an entertainment complex and besides the gaming machines it also boasts a 1,200-seat performance and convention hall, a snack bar, a restaurant and an entire shopping mall.
This is the biggest casino of Tunisia currently (in terms of gaming machines + tables).

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