About Ice Valley

Bank transfer is widely supported and familiar, but withdrawals can sometimes take longer than other methods. Cards are fast for deposits but not every operator supports card withdrawals.

Mobile money and USSD are convenient for people who prefer to manage everything from their phone without a bank app. They are especially useful for quick, small deposits.

Always make sure the payment page is secure and that you are using the official app or website. Scammers target bettors with fake payment links that steal login details.

What is Ice Valley?

A private members’ bill, 2026/009, was put forward on 20 January by 23 deputies and referred to the General Legislation Committee on 29 January. It would amend the 1974 decree-law to prohibit all online gambling and require internet and payment providers to block it.

MP Yasser Gourari, one of the deputies promoting the measure, told Diwan FM that the bill provides for fines of MAD10,000 to MAD500,000 and prison terms of one to five years. Penalties rise where there is recidivism, involvement of minors or suspicion of money laundering.

He described online gambling and betting as a “social scourge“. Some people, he said, “after repeated losses and financial difficulties, have been driven to despair, sometimes to the point of contemplating suicide”.
