Sports betting: Restricted. Online casino: Restricted. Regulator: Agence de Régulation des Jeux (ARJ).
Tax: <p>Cameroon has a real domestic licensing regime for gambling under Law n°2015/012 and Decree n°2019/2300/PM, overseen by the Agence de Régulation des Jeux (ARJ). A licensed operator must be incorporated in Cameroon, run a '.cm' domain, and post a 200 million CFA franc bank guarantee — licenses run 5 years online, 10 years land-based. As of January 2025, all online gambling payments must also route through a single government-approved payment aggregator, INTOUCH Cameroun.</p><p>None of the international operators we track (1xBet, Megapari, and similar) hold a domestic Cameroonian ARJ license — they operate under foreign licenses, most commonly Curaçao, in a legal grey area relative to Cameroon's own framework rather than as ARJ-licensed businesses.</p>
Using Wave doesn't change the legal position: what matters is whether the betting site itself is allowed to serve players in Cameroon. Our Cameroon guide has the full detail.
