Although online gambling is not yet been licensed and regulated in the North African country of Morocco, many online gambling experts believe the government will regulate sooner rather than later, considering its state-controlled sports lottery services went online in 2009. That and the fact that land casinos are extremely popular in the country. Hopefully regulated Moroccan online casinos are not far away.

Gambling In Morocco
Land casinos have been around in Morocco for many years, and today the country boasts five casinos in three cities - Marrakesh, Tangier and Agadir - which attract locals and tourists alike. Marrakesh is home to Le Grand Casino de Mamounia and Casino de Marrakesh & Hotel Es Saadi, Tangier is home to Movenpick Hotel and Casino Malabata, and Agadir is home to Shem's Casino D'Agadir and Casino Le Mirage.
While the Moroccan gambling industry is not that large by Western standards, it does show some growth every year as more Moroccans visit the nation's casinos. Interestingly, many foreigners frequent Moroccan casinos as a result of the famous 1942 Hollywood film Casablanca, which was set in a gambling nightclub in Morocco during World War II.
Online Gambling In Morocco
Currently the only form of online gambling permitted by the Moroccan government are two government-controlled online sports lottery sites, which went live in 2009. And although a lack of regulation means there are currently no Moroccan online casinos, online gambling experts predict that online gambling regulation will happen sooner rather than later.
But although Moroccans are not yet able to gamble at Moroccan online casinos, there is nothing to prevent them from gambling online at offshore sites where they are welcome. There are even a handful of sites that offer Arab language versions to make their experience more user-friendly.
