Can a private operator get an online gambling licence in Tunisia?

No. There is no licensing regime. Sports prediction competitions are a State monopoly held by Promosport, and the Competition Council rejected complaints by the private operators CasualBet in 2019 and Tunbets in 2020 on that basis. The route observed is a concession from Promosport, such as the one awarded to Sisal in 2022.

Is online casino legal in Tunisia?

No text authorises it. Decree-law 74-20 prohibits games in which chance prevails unless a law provides otherwise, and casino games are allowed only in land-based casinos authorised under Decree-law 74-21. We record it as prohibited with medium confidence because the 1974 texts do not mention the internet.

How are casinos taxed?

Through a State levy on gross gaming product at progressive rates from 10% up to 700,000 dinars to 45% above 10 million dinars, paid in monthly advances of 10%, with 20% of the levy going to the host commune.

Are gambling winnings taxed?

Yes. Income from betting, games of chance and lotteries bears a 25% withholding at source on sums paid from 1 January 2016. Winnings from horse race betting and from sports predictions organised by public establishments such as Promosport are exempt.

What would bill 2026/009 change?

As filed on 20 January 2026 it would ban all games of chance, online included, allow only exceptional licences for recreational, charitable or sporting games, require internet and payment providers to prevent illegal gambling, and punish organisers and promoters with one to five years in prison and fines of 10,000 to 500,000 dinars. It is before the General Legislation Committee.

Can gambling be advertised on television or radio?

Not for private betting companies. In August 2020 HAICA called on broadcasters not to carry their advertising, because sports betting is a State monopoly held by Promosport.

Summary

Tunisia has no gambling regulator and no licensing regime for online gambling. Decree-law 74-20 of 1974 prohibits games in which chance prevails over skill, and lotteries, unless a law provides otherwise. Two exceptions are State monopolies. Promosport, a public establishment created by Law 84-63 of 1984 under the Ministry of Youth and Sports, holds the exclusive right to organise sports prediction competitions; the Competition Council upheld that monopoly against the private operators CasualBet in 2019 and Tunbets in 2020. Pari-mutuel horse race betting is run by the State regie under Decree 70-178 of 1970. Land-based casinos operate under Decree-law 74-21 of 1974 with a personal authorisation from the Interior and economy ministries; MENAFATF counted three in 2016, open only to non-residents. We record online casino and lottery as prohibited. Casinos pay a progressive levy of 10% to 45% of gross gaming product, and gambling winnings bear a 25% withholding, except those from Promosport and the pari-mutuel. A 15% tax on online betting operators, created by the 2021 finance law, was repealed from 2023. A January 2026 order put casinos under a full anti-money laundering regime. Offshore and informal betting is met with police raids; no blocking regime was found. Deputies filed bill 2026/009 in January 2026 to ban all gambling, online included, with prison terms and duties on internet and payment providers; it is before the General Legislation Committee.

Common pitfalls

Reading the 15% online betting tax of 2021 as a licence or as tolerance: it was repealed from 2023 and never authorised anyone. Treating Sisal as a licensee: it holds a concession from the Promosport monopoly. Treating bill 2026/009 as law: it is a private members' bill still in committee. Assuming casinos are open to Tunisians: in 2016 they were reserved to non-residents.

Summary
The general prohibition. Art. 1 prohibits games in which chance prevails over skill and the use of intellect, which are treated as gambling, unless a law provides otherwise, with the proceeds of any such exception to go to sports equipment and development. Art. 8 prohibits lotteries and, generally, any operation offered to the public to raise the hope of a gain acquired by chance. Charitable lotteries of movable objects may be authorised under Decree 75-130. The penalty provisions were not located at review.

Summary
Casino operation requires prior authorisation by joint order of the Ministers of the Interior and the National Economy (art. 2). The authorisation is personal and cannot be transferred (art. 4). Each casino has a director and a three-member board, all of age, with full civic rights and licensed by the Minister of the Interior (art. 6); acting without that licence is an offence (art. 19). Arts. 10 to 12 set the State levy on gross gaming product at 10% to 45% and reserve 20% of it to the host commune or governorate council.

Law 94-104 of 3 August 1994 repealed Law 84-63 except arts. 10 to 45 and 67 to 70, so the Promosport provisions remain in force.

Pending legislation

Bill 2026/009 to combat gambling and games of chance, amending Decree-law 74-20 of 1974
Stage
Filed by 23 deputies on 20 January 2026, referred to the General Legislation Committee on 29 January 2026; first committee meeting on 3 February 2026. Still before the committee at review.
What it changes
Would define games of chance to include online bets, lotteries, casino games, digital platforms and apps; prohibit organising, managing, taking part in, promoting or advertising any game of chance, with exceptional licences only for recreational, charitable or sporting games; declare all internet gambling illegal and require internet and electronic payment providers to take measures to prevent it; and punish any breach with a fine of 10,000 to 500,000 dinars (art. 8) and anyone who organises, manages, finances, promotes or advertises gambling with one to five years in prison (art. 9), doubled for repeat offences, offences against minors or links to money laundering or organised crime (art. 11), with confiscation of funds, bank accounts and digital wallets.

Case law

CasualBet v Promosport, Competition Council case 171466
3 Oct 2019
Rejected a complaint by CasualBet against Promosport. Held that Decree-law 74-20 and Law 84-63 prohibit private organisation of sports prediction competitions and make it a field monopolised exclusively by the State, and that in the absence of a text allowing private companies to operate, the complaint of anti-competitive conduct failed.
Tunbets v Promosport, Competition Council case 191549
19 Nov 2020
Rejected a complaint by Tunbets, which had offered sports betting online since January 2018, on the same reasoning: sports betting is reserved to the State through Promosport, and games of chance are not ordinary trade but an activity subject to strict framing on grounds of public order, public health and protection of minors.

Licensing

Licence required: Not yet verified
Application window: Not yet verified
Local establishment required: Not yet verified
Local server required: Not yet verified
Barriers to entry: There is no licence for online gambling of any kind. Sports prediction competitions are a State monopoly held by Promosport, which the Competition Council has twice upheld against private online operators, and pari-mutuel horse race betting belongs to the State regie. The commercial route observed is a concession from Promosport: its tender 1/2019 was won by Sisal in August 2022, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports described the partnership as taking Promosport into digital games of chance and betting. Casinos need a personal ministerial authorisation, and MENAFATF counted three in 2016.

Licence types

Casino authorisation
Scope
Land-based casino games listed in Decree 76-114, in casinos that in 2016 were reserved to non-residents. No online equivalent.
Renewal terms
Granted by joint order of the Ministers of the Interior and the National Economy; personal and not transferable (Decree-law 74-21, arts. 2 and 4). The director and board members each need a licence from the Minister of the Interior (art. 6).
Authorised lottery of movable objects
Scope

Winnings on horse race betting and on sports prediction competitions organised by public establishments, or by concessionaires on their behalf, are exempt (art. 38 point 24).
Withholding mechanism: The payer of the winnings withholds 25% under the general withholding rules of income tax code art. 52.

Levy on games and competitions entered by telephone, SMS, voice server or other communication technology: 40% of the price of taking part, borne by the participant (Created at 30% by the Finance Law for 2025 art. 17 for the fund for insurance against job loss for economic reasons, collected by telecoms operators; raised to 40% and widened to all communication technologies by the Finance Law for 2026 art. 20, with the proceeds of the increase going to the social security diversification account.

In 2016 MENAFATF found that entry to gaming rooms required an admission ticket issued only on proof of identity.
Stake limits: Not yet verified
Reporting obligations: Casinos keep separate gaming accounts open to the Interior and Finance ministries and the central bank, and are inspected daily during opening hours by officials of the Finance and Interior ministries, with unannounced inspections by the gaming commission about once a quarter (MENAFATF, 2016). Under the 2026 order they must keep statistics on suspicious transaction reports and frozen funds and answer national risk assessment questionnaires.

Advertising

Advertising permitted: Not yet verified

Restrictions

HAICA, on 11 August 2020, after its monitoring found private companies using advertising spots and sports programmes as platforms for sports betting competitions, called on all television and radio stations not to organise sports betting competitions or broadcast promotional spots for them, on the ground that Decree-law 74-20 prohibits games of chance and that sports betting is a State monopoly held by Promosport.
There is no licensed private market and so no gambling advertising code. Only the State monopolies have lawful products to promote.
Bill 2026/009 would expressly prohibit promoting or advertising any game of chance, traditional or digital, and punish promoters with one to five years in prison.

Payments

Credit card ban: Not yet verified
Crypto stance: Not yet verified
Payment blocking regime: No statutory duty on banks or payment providers to block payments to gambling sites was found. Bill 2026/009, art. 4, would require internet and electronic payment providers to take the measures needed to prevent prohibited gambling, and art. 10 would allow confiscation of bank accounts and digital wallets used for it.

Enforcement

ISP blocking: Not yet verified
DNS blocking: Not yet verified
Payment blocking: Not yet verified
App store takedowns: Not yet verified
Operator liability: Private operators have no lawful basis to offer sports betting (Competition Council, 2019 and 2020). Police action targets local betting shops and networks: suspects are held for running electronic sports betting without authorisation and for money laundering, with cash, computers and phones seized. The penalty provisions of Decree-law 74-20 were not located; running a casino as director or board member without a Ministry of the Interior licence is an offence under Decree-law 74-21, art. 19.

Outlook

The item to watch is bill 2026/009, before the General Legislation Committee since 3 February 2026. As filed, it would ban online gambling outright, allow only exceptional licences for recreational, charitable or sporting games, and oblige internet and payment providers to block. A separate government text is also in preparation: in November 2024 the Minister of Youth and Sports told parliament that his ministry was drafting a bill to regulate games of chance and betting and had circulated it to 26 public bodies, but no such bill had reached the Assembly at review. Also watch whether Promosport's concession with Sisal, awarded in 2022 to take the monopoly online, produces a digital service, and whether the 2026 anti-money laundering order for casinos is followed by inspections or sanctions.

Frequently asked questions

Can a private operator get an online gambling licence in Tunisia?: No. There is no licensing regime. Sports prediction competitions are a State monopoly held by Promosport, and the Competition Council rejected complaints by the private operators CasualBet in 2019 and Tunbets in 2020 on that basis. The route observed is a concession from Promosport, such as the one awarded to Sisal in 2022.
Is online casino legal in Tunisia?: No text authorises it. Decree-law 74-20 prohibits games in which chance prevails unless a law provides otherwise, and casino games are allowed only in land-based casinos authorised under Decree-law 74-21. We record it as prohibited with medium confidence because the 1974 texts do not mention the internet.
How are casinos taxed?: Through a State levy on gross gaming product at progressive rates from 10% up to 700,000 dinars to 45% above 10 million dinars, paid in monthly advances of 10%, with 20% of the levy going to the host commune.
Are gambling winnings taxed?: Yes. Income from betting, games of chance and lotteries bears a 25% withholding at source on sums paid from 1 January 2016. Winnings from horse race betting and from sports predictions organised by public establishments such as Promosport are exempt.
What would bill 2026/009 change?: As filed on 20 January 2026 it would ban all games of chance, online included, allow only exceptional licences for recreational, charitable or sporting games, require internet and payment providers to prevent illegal gambling, and punish organisers and promoters with one to five years in prison and fines of 10,000 to 500,000 dinars. It is before the General Legislation Committee.
Can gambling be advertised on television or radio?: Not for private betting companies. In August 2020 HAICA called on broadcasters not to carry their advertising, because sports betting is a State monopoly held by Promosport.
