Nigeria gaming regulators oppose Central Gaming Bill 2025 after Supreme Court ruling
Nigeria’s Federation of State Gaming Regulators opposed the Central Gaming Bill 2025, which has cleared its third reading and would create a national framework for online and remote gaming. The federation said the proposal revives federal powers over gaming that the Supreme Court previously rejected; the bill would give a National Gaming Commission licensing authority.
The bill’s proposed national licensing framework conflicts with the state regulators’ position on authority over gaming.
