The Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) in Mauritius has issued a notice inviting interested parties to submit an expression of interest (EOI) for the provision of gaming services. The GRA is responsible for regulating and supervising all forms of gaming activities in the country, including online gaming, casinos, and lotteries. This invitation marks a significant development in the Mauritian gaming industry, which has been growing steadily over the years. According to industry insiders, the EOI process is expected to attract several major players from the global gaming sector.

The GRA's regulatory framework for the gaming industry is governed by the Gaming Ordinance 2001 and the Gaming Regulations 2012.
