Sh50m fine for betting firms allowing Kenyans to gamble on their sites abroad
In 2025, the defunct Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) had flagged more than 58 betting companies for illegally operating within Kenya’s internet domain.
Abroad-based online betting firms without operations in Kenya face fines of up to Sh50 million if they fail to block residents of the East African nation from gambling on their sites in new rules aimed at plugging potential revenue leaks.
The new regulations compel the betting firms to install geo-blocking systems to ensure that Kenyan residents cannot access their sites.
