iGaming operator BC.GAME has reinforced its African expansion strategy after its subsidiary, Blockdance Africa Limited, obtained dual regulatory approvals from Kenya’s Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB).
As one of the continent’s most dynamic betting markets, Kenya offers a unique combination of youth-driven demand, digital adoption, and a strong sporting culture. By gaining both a Public Gaming Licence and a Bookmakers Off-the-Course Licence, BC.GAME positions itself to compete in one of Africa’s most competitive regulated environments.
Kenya’s regulator has introduced stricter measures in recent years, from higher licensing costs to tighter oversight of advertising and financial accountability. "BC.GAME’s successful licensing process reflects the company’s ability to adapt to these elevated standards, highlighting its readiness to operate responsibly in fast-evolving jurisdictions," according to a press release.
Beyond compliance, the new approvals signal BC.GAME’s intention to invest in localized offerings that connect with Kenyan players. The company plans to engage with local sports and cultural initiatives as part of its rollout strategy.
"This milestone underlines our long-term commitment to Africa," a BC.GAME representative said. "Kenya is not just a market—it’s a hub for innovation and opportunity, and we’re proud to be part of its regulated ecosystem."
"The Kenyan approvals add to BC.GAME’s growing list of international licenses forms part of its proactive global compliance roadmap. With validity through 2026, these authorizations provide a foundation for deeper partnerships in Africa while strengthening BC.GAME’s reputation as a responsible operator worldwide," the operator concluded.
