BETTING KENYA Kenyan government orders all operators to close for election day 2 years ago Iwo Bulski Post Views: 1,509 Operators in Kenya have suspended their services today (9 August) in line with a directive that ordered them to cease activity to allow citizens to vote in the 2022 Kenyan general election. The order was handed down by Kenya’s Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). It took force at midnight today, and will end at 5pm. A number of operators released statements about the order. Sports betting brand SportPesa placed a statement on its website which read: “Thank you for interacting with SportPesa. Our services are currently unavailable in compliance with BCLC’s directive to suspend all gaming operations to enable you to vote. Our services will resume immediately after 5pm on Tuesday 9th August 2022.” Betsson-owned sportsbook and online casino operator Betsafe released a similar statement. “Our gaming services will be suspended from Monday midnight until Tuesday 5:00pm. During this period, you will not be able to place bets or transact. We apologise for the inconvenience.” Last month, the BCLB found that many of those who applied for new or renewed licences are not eligible to receive them, as did not receive the necessary approvals from the relevant parties.
