Casinos in Zambia: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Zambia regulates gambling through several fragmented statutes: betting under the Betting Control Act, which establishes the Betting Control and Licensing Board; casinos under separate casino and tourism enterprise legislation; and lotteries under the Lotteries Act. There is no single gambling regulator, and powers are split between several ministries. Online gaming is not separately regulated: the existing acts were written for physical premises, and no dedicated regime for remote operators has yet been created. The government is preparing a reform that would create one authority and rules for the online segment. Land-based casinos and betting shops operate legally under licence. The currency is the Zambian kwacha, and MTN, Airtel and Zamtel mobile money are widely used. Players should bear in mind that the online segment remains lightly regulated.
