What a player risks
The rules for online casino games in this market are changing. What is tolerated today may be prohibited, or made subject to a local licence, tomorrow; the regulator's current position is the reference and should be checked. A site that does not hold the licence the rules require at the time of play is outside local supervision: its players have no local-regulator protection or dispute resolution, and deposits, payments or winnings may be blocked or confiscated. Depending on local law at the time of play, fines or prosecution may apply. The register records for Democratic Republic of the Congo: Not authorised: no operator (local or offshore) is yet published as approved; online sites operate without a valid approval from the Ministry of Finance during the transition.
