Gambling Rules in Central Africa
Central Africa includes seven countries – Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda/Burundi, and Gabon. The first six countries are strongly opposed to all gambling in their territory since most of them will become targets of terrorist organizations and illegal, military operations, and caused chaos by the government.
Despite this, the country eventually Gabon adopted most of its gambling activities and used its potential to prosper even further.
