Online bingo is legal in Equatorial Guinea under the country's newly launched regulatory framework established in August 2025 (1). The government granted an Online Gaming Master License to Mascott Capital Partners, a Cyprus-based gaming management and licensing firm, making this the first official regulation of online gambling in the country (1). Online bingo, along with other online gaming, betting, and casino operations, is now regulated under Law 2/1995 and the tax and regulatory reforms outlined in Law 10/2017 (1).
All operators seeking to offer online bingo in Equatorial Guinea must obtain an Online Gaming License from the authorities through Mascott Capital Partners' centralized digital platform (2). Licensed operators are required to implement mandatory age verification, anti-money laundering protocols, and undergo routine financial and operational audits to maintain compliance (1). The licensing framework emphasizes consumer protection, responsible gambling practices, and adherence to international best practices, with all prospective operators required to demonstrate strict compliance protocols before receiving approval (1).
"The launch of online gaming, online betting, and online casinos in Equatorial Guinea is one of the most significant measures taken by gaming regulators in the country's history and Mascott Capital Partners' digital platform will assist in submitting online gaming licence applications."
Players in Equatorial Guinea can legally participate in online bingo through licensed and regulated platforms operating under the new framework (2). The regulatory initiative is designed to diversify the nation's economy beyond oil dependence while attracting international investment and technological partnerships to the digital gaming sector (2). The framework aims to eliminate unregulated gambling activities while generating new revenue streams and promoting Equatorial Guinea as a recognized jurisdiction for remote online gaming operations aligned with international standards (2).
