Best licensed casinos in Cameroon 2026

Cameroon's gambling market runs under Law 2015/012 and the 2019 implementation decree, with MINAT issuing operator authorisations after consultation with the ARJ. Since 30 January 2025, all online gambling deposits and withdrawals must route through InTouch Cameroun as the sole aggregator. Offshore operators serving Cameroonian players face a 3% turnover tax from 1 January 2026.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Is online sports betting legal in Cameroon?
Yes, but only via operators holding a current MINAT authorisation, locally incorporated as a Cameroonian Sarl or SA, running a .cm domain, and routing payments through InTouch Cameroun. Offshore operators serving Cameroonian players became subject to a 3% turnover tax from 1 January 2026.
Why did all my deposits fail at the end of January 2025?
On 30 January 2025 MINAT enforced an exclusive payments aggregator contract with InTouch Cameroun. Deposits going directly via MTN MoMo or Orange Money to operator wallets that did not flow through InTouch were blocked. betPawa, 1xBet, Betwinner and Betmomo were among the brands disrupted; most resumed deposits within days.
Is there a tax on my winnings?
No specific player-side withholding tax on sports-betting winnings is identified in the primary Cameroonian tax code references we checked. Operator-side taxes apply (15% on gross gaming revenue plus a 10% supplementary for casinos; gaming machine fees XAF 20,000 to 100,000 annually). If a particular operator's terms describe a withholding on your withdrawal, that is operator policy, not statutory.
How do I know if a brand has a real MINAT licence?
Check the .cm site footer for a number in the format n XXXXXX/A/MINAT/SG/DAP/SDLP/SJ, and match the legal entity named against the entity on your deposit receipt. There is no consolidated public MINAT operator registry, so the operator's own footer is the primary verification point.
Is there a national gambling helpline?
No national gambling-addiction helpline is currently published for Cameroon. Operators are required to offer self-exclusion tools under the 2015 law. Be cautious of any phone number marketed as a national helpline that you cannot trace to an official ministry or registered NGO.
