New Gaming Law comes into force

Law 17/24 of 28 October - the Gaming Law, which repeals Law 5/16 of 17 May, was recently published. The aim of the Gaming Law is to provide the gaming sector in Angola with more efficient rules, developed and adapted to international standards, and to redefine the special tax system applicable to the activity.

The new rules apply to entities that operate games of chance, specifically games of chance in casinos and gaming halls, social games and online games throughout Angola, including on ships and aircraft registered in Angola but operating outside the country.
