Nigeria’s state gaming regulators oppose federal Central Gaming Bill
Nigeria’s proposed Central Gaming Bill, which would place online and remote gaming under a federal commission, has faced opposition from the Federation of State Gaming Regulators of Nigeria. The federation, representing 24 states, called for the National Assembly to withdraw the bill, citing a 2024 Supreme Court decision that it says reserves gaming and lottery regulation to state governments; the bill has had its third reading.
The bill would change which level of government regulates online and remote gaming in Nigeria.
