CM Advocates LLP’s Gambling, Betting & Gaming Practice Group (GBG) delivers premium, integrated legal and regulatory advisory services across the full spectrum of the gambling, betting and gaming industry in Kenya and across Africa.

We advise operators, investors, lenders, technology companies, payment service providers, regulators and public sector entities on complex, high-value and cross-border matters involving licensing, compliance, structuring, financing, transactions and dispute resolution in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated sector.

Following the enactment of the Gambling Control Act, 2025 and the Gambling Control Regulations, 2026, Kenya has transitioned into a high-threshold, prudential-style regulatory environment characterised by:

· Multi-layered licensing requirements

· Significant capitalisation thresholds

· Real-time regulatory supervision

· Full value-chain oversight (operators, infrastructure, personnel)

Our Practice Group is uniquely positioned to guide clients through this transformation by combining deep regulatory expertise, transactional strength, and commercial insight, in line with global law firm standards.

This enhanced Practice Group profile builds on our established Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Practice Group framework, which provides a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the sector’s unique regulatory and commercial dynamics.

We act for:

· Gambling and betting operators (land-based and online)

· Lottery operators

· Gaming technology companies

· Fintech and payment service providers

· Investors, lenders and private equity funds

· Regulators and public sector institutions
