Kenya betting board consults influencers on responsible gambling guidelines

Regulation

Kenya’s Betting Control and Licensing Board met social media influencers, content creators, musicians and comedians after the government banned influencers from promoting betting companies. Board chief executive Peter Mbugi said participants had assured the board they would follow its guidelines. The board said a follow-up meeting was scheduled within a week to refine proposed rules on promotion and responsible messaging.

The planned guidelines could shape how betting companies use influencers to promote their services in Kenya.
