Uganda gaming board and police discuss regional enforcement in Rwizi
Uganda’s National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board met police and local officials in Mbarara on 27 May 2025 to discuss gaming-law enforcement. The board’s chief executive said sports betting, casino games and bingo are restricted to people aged 25 and over, while the national lottery is open to those aged 18 and over. Police representatives pledged support against unlicensed operations and underage gambling.
The stated age thresholds and enforcement priorities affect operators’ compliance obligations in Uganda.
