Gambling Laws in Kenya

The mention of licensing points out the legality status. Unsurprisingly, this is one of the significant steps we recommend our players check before signing up on any platform. But, worry not. We have done the hard work to point you to the top licensed betting firms in Kenya. However, before diving deeper, it is vital to understand what Kenyan law provides on matters of gambling.

Is Betting Legal?

The straightforward answer to this is yes! Kenya is one of the oldest countries in Africa to legalize all forms of gambling in the late 60s. All this is captured under the Kenyan constitution on the Betting, Lotteries, and Gaming Act that gives the Kenya Betting Control and Licensing Board mandate to oversee all gambling operations within the jurisdiction and license all betting firms that meet all its parameters. Therefore, the first step before betting on any betting firm in Kenya is to check whether it is approved by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). One can find this information at the bottom of the page.

While betting is legal, Kenya made some amendments in 2020 after cases of gambling addiction and revenue sharing between the firms and the government. As a result, the new Gambling Act of 2020 still maintained the country’s betting legality, and the betting tax applied. However, there was a change in tax generated from gaming advertisements which was revised to 35%. Additionally, taxes on jackpot winnings would be 20%. Also, important to note that in 2018, Kenya placed a 20% tax on the player winnings. In a nutshell, every winning garnered will have 20% tax deducted.

How to Start Betting?

The first requirement before one starts betting in Kenya is to meet the age requirements. Presently, the country has its legal age limit set at 18 years. If the interested party meets the condition, the next step is to find a suitable betting site. We have provided a list of the best betting sites working in Kenya that meets the majority of all the aspects we recommend. They include various leagues/events & betting markets, bonuses & promos, accessibility, banking services, and customer support.

Creating an account should be easy, and after account creation, one should deposit the required amount before betting. The next step is to find the suitable sport/event, click on it to view the available markets, choose the preferred market, place a stake on the betslip, and confirm the bet.
