Botswana Gambling Authority signals stricter oversight of online betting firms
Botswana’s Gambling Authority plans stricter oversight of licensed online betting operators accused of system failures, poor records, unexplained interruptions and delayed payments, Authority representative Lewanika Timothy said. Operators will be expected to meet technical standards, manage disputes and pay winnings on time; failures could lead to fines or licence loss.
Operators in Botswana face closer scrutiny of platform reliability, dispute handling and timely payouts.
