The Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) of Kenya recently issued a notice, demanding all operators to immediately cease offering Aviator and Crash type games until these games fully comply with regulatory requirements. BCLB emphasizes that operators must ensure their gaming products adhere to Kenya's gambling regulations and policies.
Aviator and Crash games, known for their high risk and rapid betting features, may lead to significant losses for players in a short period, which has drawn regulatory attention. BCLB states that the suspension of these games is to protect consumers, preventing potential gambling addiction and financial issues.
BCLB requires all affected operators to immediately comply with the directive and stop providing the related games. Operators failing to comply will face severe penalties, including the potential revocation of their gambling licenses. The committee also encourages the public to report any operators who continue to offer these games, to ensure effective enforcement of regulations.
This move reflects the Kenyan government's growing concern over the gambling industry, aiming to ensure fairness and consumer protection in gambling activities through strict regulatory measures. Operators need to reassess their gaming products to ensure they meet all applicable regulations and standards to continue operating in the Kenyan market.
