Rwanda Development Board introduces gambling policy with tax and player-protection changes
Rwanda's Development Board said it had introduced a gambling policy covering lotteries, casinos and sports betting, online and land-based. The policy proposes changes to operator and player tax rates, alongside self-exclusion, spending limits, tighter advertising restrictions and new gambling oversight bodies; the board said it assumed oversight responsibility in June 2024.
Operators face proposed changes to taxation, licensing oversight, advertising and player-protection requirements across Rwanda's gambling sectors.
