Botswana Gambling Authority chief calls for regional rules and mobile licence revival
Botswana Gambling Authority CEO Peter Emolemo Kesitilwe called for harmonised gambling rules across African countries and said the government had worked with mobile network operators on guidelines to revive mobile gambling licences. He said operators would pay a levy based on gross gambling revenue to support addiction prevention and rehabilitation programmes.
Operators may need to meet revived mobile-licensing requirements and pay a revenue-based levy in Botswana.
