This vulnerabilities report covers the risks of the casinos sector in West Africa, including risks of money laundering and other forms of illicit finance in the sector. In particular, the report focuses on the casino and gaming sectors in six GIABA Member states (Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, and Benin). This study has been ordered by GIABA, implemented with technical assistance provided in the context of the OCWAR-M project (Organized Crime: West African Response to Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism) by Expertise France, and funded by the European Union. These countries were chosen due to their systemic importance to regional stability, and relative risks present in their casinos and gaming sectors
