Kenya gambling licence fee is unset, while demand rose 29.5%

From July to September Kenya’s iGaming demand climbed 29.5% while the High Court left the new licence fee unset. The fee for a new Kenya gambling licence has been in dispute since 20 July 2026, when the High Court froze the Gambling Control (Licensing) Regulations. Judgement in that case did not come on 2 October as expected, and the file returns for mention on 12 October. That rise was already in the monthly data when the judgement date passed with no ruling.
