Uganda’s gaming licence renewal is an audit, not a form.
With @lgrb_uganda enforcing strict NCEMS integration, URA withholding tax sync, & non-negotiable compliance deadlines, missing one document means zero evaluation.

The Government has blocked 23 websites operated by unlicensed gaming companies and destroyed 6,749 illegal gaming machines valued at UGX 6.21 billion, as authorities step up enforcement against illegal gambling. #GCICMediaReview

On 14 October 2026, @lgrb_uganda , with support from @PoliceUg , arrested a Chinese national, ZHENG LIN QIANG, at Kasajagirwa Village, Barracks Road in Masaka City. He was found in possession of illegal gaming equipment.
Following the arrest, the suspect was transferred from Masaka to Kampala and charged before the Standards, Utilities and Wildlife Court in Makindye. This afternoon, he appeared before court and was formally charged with making gaming and betting machines available without a licence.
We remain committed to protecting the public by combating illegal gaming activities and ensuring compliance with Uganda's gaming laws.

Between 14–15 October, on behalf of the National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board - Uganda (NLGRB), I joined regulators, operators and industry stakeholders at the iGaming Future East Africa 2026 summit at the Carnivore Grounds in Nairobi, Kenya, where I participated in a panel on “The Future of East African Regulation: Creating Competitive Markets”.
Our discussion explored a critical question: how can East Africa balance effective regulation and taxation with the conditions needed for a competitive, compliant and sustainable gaming industry?
Across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, operators are navigating demanding regulatory environments. Their concerns about compliance costs, policy certainty and opportunities for growth deserve constructive dialogue.
For us as regulators, the responsibility is to protect players, uphold integrity and support compliance while providing clear, consistent and practical frameworks within which licensed businesses can operate responsibly.
Achieving that balance requires continued engagement between regulators, policymakers and operators. Greater regional cooperation and the exchange of experience can also help us respond to an industry that continues to evolve across borders.
I welcome these conversations and look forward to working with stakeholders to build a responsible, competitive and sustainable gaming sector.

During the engagement, some of the journalists emphasised the need for the Board to partner with local leaders to sensitize community members in remote and underserved areas, such as villages.
"We thank the Board for creating awareness among journalists, especially reporters and sports commentators. We also recommend working with cultural leaders who have influence within communities." - Simon Ochen, Program Producer, Voice of Teso.

Today, we engaged boda boda riders at GOGO Uganda as part of our ongoing efforts to promote responsible gaming and financial literacy.
The engagement focused on empowering riders to make informed financial decisions and understand the risks associated with gambling. 🧵
#ResponsibleGambling #FinancialLiteracy #NLGRB
Our message remains clear: If you choose to gamble, do so responsibly.
Only bet money you can afford to lose; never bet funds intended for rent, fuel, school fees, or other essential needs. Know your limits. Stay in control.
#ResponsibleGambling #FinancialLiteracy #NLGRB
We thank @nssfug and @GOGO_Uganda for their partnership, and the boda boda riders who participated in this important engagement.

📌 IBANDA
Happening Now!
"There is the law, and there are the wananchi we are mandated to protect. Let us work together to enforce the law firmly with the our people remaining the core focus" - Happy Herbert Mayanja, LC5 Ibanda District.
We are engaging district leaders in Ibanda to enhance their understanding of the Board’s mandate, address challenges of illegal gaming and security concerns, and strengthen collaboration with leaders who are closest to the communities we serve.
The engagement brought together RDCs, District Chairperson, CAO, DPC, LCs, Town Clerks, OCs, Subcounty Chiefs and other stakeholders committed to safeguarding communities.
ASP Paul Nabimanya representing DPC Ibanda applauded the initiatives by the Board and called for more sensitisation to empower leaders with knowledge needed to protect the public from gaming harm.
Protecting the public remains at the heart of our mandate. We believe the law is strongest when it is understood, supported and enforced by those closest to people.
