Sports betting is legal in Comoros under a well-established regulatory framework governed by the Betting and Gaming Act, which operates under the authorization of the Comoros Finance Commission (1). The country has developed comprehensive gambling legislation that specifically permits various forms of betting activities, including sports book betting, horse and greyhound betting, along with other gaming activities such as casino games, lottery, and bingo operations.
The regulatory structure in Comoros allows for both land-based and online sports betting operations, with licensing exclusively available to companies registered within the Comoros jurisdiction (2). The legal framework is particularly accommodating to online gambling operators, permitting them to operate under multiple brand names and web addresses under a single license, while maintaining servers anywhere in the world and clearing profits through international banking systems.
"The Betting and Gaming Act is under the Comoros Finance Commission authorization to legalize and regulate computer internet gaming, horse or greyhound betting and sports book betting."
The Comoros gambling license system is designed to attract international operators while maintaining regulatory oversight through the Comoros Finance Commission. Sports betting operators must establish their companies within Comoros territory to obtain licensing, though nominee directors are acceptable when required. This regulatory approach has positioned Comoros as an attractive jurisdiction for online sports betting businesses seeking comprehensive coverage under a single licensing framework, with annual fixed fees and the flexibility to expand operations across multiple platforms and betting products.
