Kenya’s Gambling Control Act dissolves BCLB and freezes licence applications
Kenya’s Gambling Control Act 2025 dissolved the Betting Control and Licensing Board and established the Gambling Regulatory Authority, according to the report. The BCLB suspended annual licence applications in October 2025 during the transition, while existing licences remain valid until expiry; the report says the market continued growing through the changeover.
Operators must account for a licensing transition in which new and renewal applications are frozen.
