Sports betting in Morocco, including online betting and virtual events, is reserved to state-owned Marocaine des Jeux et des Sports (MDJS). The company is 90% held by the Treasury and chaired by the sports minister.
Its exclusivity reportedly runs to 2036 under an unpublished 2016 convention with the state. The commercial operation is run under a tendered management contract rather than a licence. Unauthorised gaming houses and lotteries are criminal offences under articles 282 to 285 of the penal code.

How has the conversation moved on from ‘Are we doing DEI?’, to ‘Is it improving our business, our culture and our ability to attract and retain great people?'” Mark Skinner, chief people officer at Allwyn Digital, asks.
He believes the conversation has matured and gambling companies are now expected to deliver measurable outcomes.
“Stakeholders increasingly want evidence that initiatives deliver meaningful outcomes rather than simply demonstrating good intentions,” Skinner suggests.
