Kenya proposes higher gambling licence fees, including Ksh200m for online operators
Kenya’s Betting Control and Licensing Board has proposed higher gambling licence fees, including a minimum Ksh200 million for online operators and up to Ksh5 billion for land-based casinos. BCLB director Peter Mbugi presented the proposals to a parliamentary committee; analyst Job Weku warned that higher costs could push activity towards the unregulated market.
The proposed fees could materially raise licensing costs for operators seeking to remain in Kenya’s regulated market.
