La Gabonaise des Jeux (GDJ), the public gaming authority in Gabon, has issued a warning to customers against fraudulent lottery and gaming promotions that pose as the organization and promote fake prize winners.
This organization has advised people to refrain from disclosing banking or personal information, downloading related content or paying fees in order to collect purported prizes. GDJ is a state-owned company that was established in December 2025 and is in charge of organizing and overseeing gambling operations under state supervision.
In 22nd October 2026, it unveiled its online platform gdjbet.com in Libreville. The platform offers sports betting, lotteries, virtual games, scratch cards, casino games and horse racing.
GDJ warned that a sponsored commercial was not connected to the organization and was using its name fraudulently to announce supposed winners. Customers were cautioned not to pay money to claim rewards, reveal personal or banking information, or download any files related to the advertisement. Additionally, GDJ advised users to use its official platform and be cautious while interacting with gaming promotions.
