Casinos in Kenya: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Regulation
Kenya is one of the region's most mature markets. The Gambling Control Act 2025 replaced the former Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act and created the Gambling Regulatory Authority, which took over the functions of the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). Sports betting, casinos, lotteries and online operations are all licensed: remote play requires a control system approved by the regulator, covering age verification and payment security. Land-based casinos are legal. The currency is the Kenyan shilling, and the vast majority of payments run through M-Pesa mobile money. Operators pay a tax on gaming revenue, an excise duty applies on withdrawals, and from 1 July 2026 a 20% withholding tax on net winnings was reinstated. Players should choose operators listed in the regulator's register.
