Summary

Mauritius regulates gambling through the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA), set up under the Gambling Regulatory Authority Act 2007, which licenses casinos, gaming houses, machines, horse racing, bookmakers, pool betting, sweepstakes and the national lottery. Online sports betting is open to residents only through GRA-licensed bookmakers operating by remote communication: fixed odds betting on sporting events outside Mauritius and, under a separate licence, on approved local and foreign horse races. These licences cost Rs 5 million a year, go only to companies, and every betting terminal and server must be linked to the central electronic monitoring system. Bookmakers pay betting tax of 14% of gross stakes plus a levy of 2.5% of gross gambling yield. Online casino and poker have no live licence. Part XVIII of the Act, on interactive gambling, has never been brought into operation, and since July 2023 a person physically present in Mauritius may not take part in interactive gambling run from abroad; betting with a foreign operator is an offence for the player. The Finance Act 2026, assented on 12 August 2026, created B2C, B2B and ancillary services interactive gambling licences for companies incorporated in Mauritius, with annual fees of EUR 30,000 plus 3% of quarterly gross gambling yield for B2C, EUR 20,000 for B2B and EUR 5,000 for ancillary services. The GRA still lists interactive gambling as not in operation and has published no directives. The national lottery is a single-operator monopoly. Advertising of gambling is banned, with narrow exceptions for race meeting sponsorship. In March 2026 the GRA suspended bookmaker Bet 593 Ltd after its sole director was charged with money laundering.

Common pitfalls

Reading the Finance Act 2026 as a live online casino regime: the licences exist in law, but the GRA lists interactive gambling as not in operation and has issued no directives. Assuming an offshore licence route: the GRA Act has no licence limited to foreign customers, the B2C licence is not on its face limited to non-residents, and maintaining interactive gambling servers in Mauritius without a GRA licence is itself conducting interactive gambling. Treating the 14% betting tax as a GGR tax: it is charged on stakes net of the tax, with a 2.5% levy on gross gambling yield on top. Overlooking the outright advertising ban, the separate offence of offering an unlicensed bet-related service, and the 21 age limit for casinos and gaming houses.

Operator liability
An operator outside Mauritius commits an offence by giving a person physically present in Mauritius access to its bets or games (s.91A(2)); anyone maintaining in Mauritius a computer or system through which interactive gambling is operated is treated as conducting it and needs a licence (s.91(1) and (3)(b)). The GRA can direct ISPs, through the ICTA, to block offshore interactive gambling sites; no published blocklist was found.
Player liability
Placing a bet in a foreign jurisdiction while physically present in Mauritius (s.153(7A)), placing a bet with an unlicensed person (s.153(7C)) and staking on unregulated gambling (s.153(7)) are offences.

Notable actions

  • Bet 593 Ltd (bookmaker licensed for local horse races and international football)4 Mar 2026

    Licences suspended with immediate effect and all land-based and remote betting stopped, after a GRA investigation was referred to the Financial Crimes Commission, which arrested and provisionally charged the sole director with money laundering. On 26 May 2026 the GRA required the company to pay valid winning tickets and allow withdrawals by 5 June 2026.

Frequently asked questions
