Summary

Seychelles regulates casinos, slot machines and interactive (online) gambling under the Seychelles Gambling Act 2014, administered by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the country's non-bank financial services regulator. Lotteries, games of chance and betting outside the Act are licensed by the Seychelles Licensing Authority. The Act has provided an interactive gambling licence from the start, but the FSA made online gambling licensable in practice only with the Seychelles Gambling (Interactive Gambling) Rules 2024, gazetted on 8 January 2024. The Rules create a Type 1 licence for operators with their own games and software and a Type 2 licence for operators using third-party content. Each costs SCR 100,000 to apply for and SCR 1,500,000 a year. Applicants must be Seychelles companies with SCR 1 million of paid-up capital and a SCR 3 million cash reserve in local banks, a resident designated official, player registration servers in Seychelles and at least a mirrored game server there. Licensees may not use virtual assets or deal with 16 excluded jurisdictions, including the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Cyprus, Poland and Russia. The FSA recorded no interactive licences from 2020 to 2024; the first, a Type 2 licence, went to Amazon Betting (Proprietary) Limited with effect from 16 June 2026. On land, the FSA lists four casino and seven slot machine licences, and the FSA's consolidated returns for 2024 show revenue of SCR 7.68 billion against pay-outs of SCR 7.18 billion. No gambling duty on revenue or stakes was found: operators pay fixed licence fees and business tax, and casinos pay the 0.5% Tourism Marketing Tax on turnover. The FSA has drafted a new Gambling Bill, which had not appeared in the Official Gazette by September 2026.

Common pitfalls

Treating Seychelles as an established offshore licensing hub: the FSA recorded no interactive licences from 2020 to 2024 and granted its first in June 2026. Assuming an International Business Company can hold a licence: only a company incorporated under the Companies Act 1972 can. Overlooking the First Schedule to the 2024 Rules, which bars licensees from 16 markets, the ban on virtual assets, and s. 47(2) of the Act, which makes it an offence to give anything other than winnings to induce a person to gamble. Looking to the FSA for lotteries or betting shops, which are licensed by the Seychelles Licensing Authority.

Every employee needs an FSA certificate of approval, available only to people aged 21 or over (ss. 31 and 34).
