BCLB to Gambling Regulatory Authority: The Fruits of the Gambling Control Act 2025
iGaming AFRIKA is excited to announce an upcoming webinar scheduled for April 10, 2026 titled “BCLB to Gambling Regulatory Authority: The Fruits of the Gambling Control Act 2025.” The transition from the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) to the proposed Gambling Regulatory Authority marked a significant moment for governance, oversight, and industry accountability in the country.
The Gambling Control Act 2025 introduces a new regulatory framework aimed at strengthening supervision of gaming activities, improving licensing procedures, and reinforcing responsible gambling measures. The shift toward a dedicated regulatory authority reflects broader efforts to modernize Kenya’s gambling landscape while responding to concerns around taxation, enforcement, and player protection.
