🇪🇷 Eritrea gambling license check

No license regime   Last verified

Eritrea has no verified online gambling license and no government register to check. Licences sold on eritreagaming.com cite Proclamation No. 72/1995 and its amendment No. 128/2002. These laws set up Eritrea's ordinary Business Licensing Office. Neither text mentions gaming, gambling, betting, lotteries or casinos, so they convey no gambling authorisation, supervision or player protection. Any casino presenting an Eritrea permit as a gambling licence should be treated as unverified, because no government authority we could find confirms such claims.

What you can verify in Eritrea

  1. Treat a claim of an Eritrean gaming licence as unverified. No Eritrean government source for a gaming regulator could be found
  2. Do not rely on the licence search on eritreagaming.com. It is run by the same private website that sells the licences
  3. Take the operating company's legal name from the casino's terms and conditions and check whether it is registered anywhere with a public company registry
  4. Check whether the casino holds a real licence from another jurisdiction with a government register. If Eritrea is the only licence cited, treat the site as unregulated

Key facts about the Eritrea regime

  • Proclamation No. 128/2002 is titled a Proclamation to Amend the Business Licensing System Control and the Business Licensing Office Establishment Proclamation No. 72/1995
  • Neither the 1995 proclamation nor the 2002 amendment contains any reference to gaming, gambling, betting, lotteries or casinos. The nearest business class in the 1995 text is a General Services License covering amusement, recreational and sporting activities
  • Article 25(4) of Proclamation No. 72/1995 makes the Business Licensing Office the only government agency that may issue business licences under it, so the law gives no licensing power to a separate gaming commission
  • Business licences under Proclamation No. 72/1995 run for two years and their fees go to the Ministry of Finance. eritreagaming.com sells one-year licences under its own fee schedule
  • The Tourism Proclamation No. 152/2006 lists six tourism permit types and none covers gaming or casinos
  • None of the 298 Eritrean gazette titles held by the Library of Congress, which run to 2017, concerns gaming, gambling, betting or lotteries
  • eritreagaming.com mentions a separate gaming authorisation from the Government of the State of Eritrea but publishes no issuing ministry, date, signatory or copy of it
  • eritreagaming.com names no operating company, address or company registration, and links to no Eritrean government website
  • The domain eritreagaming.com was registered on 17 June 2026, before the July 2026 authorisation the website describes
  • eritreagaming.com lists fees of EUR 10,000 for a B2C or B2B licence, EUR 10,000 per annual renewal and EUR 300 per additional domain, with processing in 5 to 7 days

What the registration means for players

An Eritrea licence claim gives players no protection we can confirm. No government body we could find tests games, enforces player fund rules or handles complaints. The complaints process on eritreagaming.com is run by the private website itself, so any protection depends on the operator's reputation or on a second licence held elsewhere.

Red flags and fake Eritrea claims

  • A seal, certificate or licence number presented as issued by the Eritrean Gaming Commission, since we found no government source confirming that body exists
  • A licence check that sends you only to eritreagaming.com
  • A licence justified by Proclamation No. 72/1995 or No. 128/2002, which cover general business licences, not gambling, and give licensing power only to the Business Licensing Office
  • Eritrea as the only licence named in the casino's footer or terms

Legal status and tax

We found no Eritrean law that creates an online gambling licence or a gambling regulator. The laws cited by eritreagaming.com, Proclamation No. 72/1995 as amended by Proclamation No. 128/2002, govern ordinary business licences. The website describes a government authorisation from July 2026 but publishes no copy or official source for it. This page will be updated if the Government of the State of Eritrea publishes one.

We found no Eritrean government source for a gaming tax or levy. The EUR 10,000 licence and renewal fees are charged by eritreagaming.com, a private website, and are not published by any Eritrean authority we could find.
