British tycoon Victor Chandler has sought a licence to open a betting firm in Kenya, joining the growing list of billionaires seeking a piece of the gaming billions.

Africa focused betting firm, BetLion, has sought a permit from the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) in a move that will put it in a head- to-head battle with firms like SportPesa, Betway and Betin, which serve about seven million Kenyans registered for betting services.
