iGaming License in Kenya

Kenya is one of the fastest growing online and offline gambling markets in Africa. A well-developed mobile payment infrastructure, growing population involvement and a clear legislative framework make the country attractive to iGaming operators. However, to operate legally in Kenya, you must obtain an appropriate license from the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). The process includes several key stages.

The process includes:

  • Preparing a full package of documents for submission to the regulatory authority.
  • Preliminary checking of documentation for completeness and compliance with BCLB requirements.
  • Submitting an application on behalf of the client and support at all stages of consideration.
  • Representing the client's interests before the regulator and the Licensing Council.
