Digital Gaming & Betting
We support online gaming and betting companies to enter and operate across Africa, providing licensing, compliance, tax, and audit solutions in any jurisdiction.
Our Gaming & Betting practice helps global operators establish and grow online gaming, sports betting, and digital entertainment businesses in Africa. The African market is expanding rapidly, driven by mobile penetration and demand for online gaming platforms, but the regulatory landscape is highly fragmented and complex.
Each African country sets its own betting laws, gaming licenses, tax frameworks, and compliance obligations. For example, Kenya and Nigeria have well-defined sports betting regimes with strict taxation rules, while countries such as Tanzania, Zambia, Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, and South Africa impose unique requirements on gaming software approvals, responsible gambling standards, and cross-border payment controls. Some markets are liberalizing to attract foreign investment, while others remain restrictive or under reform, making it challenging for companies to plan long-term strategies.
We provide end-to-end support for gaming and betting businesses, including:
Gaming and betting license applications in multiple African jurisdictions.
Regulatory compliance solutions covering responsible gambling, anti-money laundering (AML), and consumer protection.
Tax and audit structuring to ensure transparency and reduce financial risks.
Market-entry strategies that balance local laws, cultural contexts, and operational scalability.
Partnership facilitation with local regulators, payment providers, and industry stakeholders.
Our advantage lies in combining pan-African coverage with local expertise. Whether launching an online sportsbook in Kenya, setting up a casino platform in Nigeria, or expanding a gaming app across Africa, we deliver the legal guidance, compliance support, and operational strategies to ensure sustainable and compliant growth.
By working with us, gaming and betting operators can overcome Africa’s regulatory uncertainty and unlock the continent’s vast potential in the online gaming and digital betting industry.
