Burundi plans gambling regulator to oversee licensing and compliance
Burundi’s state-run LONA plans to establish a Gambling Regulatory Authority, expected to open by 30 June 2026, to oversee national licensing and compliance. The source says the legal market is limited to lottery, sports betting and one land-based casino, while most forms of gambling are illegal under the Penal Code of 2008.
A planned national authority could change licensing and compliance arrangements for gambling businesses in Burundi.
