Global iGaming giant BC.GAME secures dual licences in Kenya
With these licences, BC.GAME can now operate legally in the country while also contributing to the growth of the country's regulated digital economy
Global iGaming brand, BC.GAME, has announced that its local entity, Blockdance Africa Limited, has been granted both a public gaming licence and a bookmakers off-the-course licence by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB).
The approvals officially authorise BC.GAME to operate under the country’s regulatory framework.
Kenya is one of Africa’s most vibrant gaming hubs, driven by a young population, rapid smartphone adoption, and a deep-rooted passion for sports. Over the past few years, the BCLB has raised industry standards by increasing licence fees, tightening advertising guidelines, and introducing stronger financial safeguards to protect players and ensure accountability.
Earning dual approvals in this environment reflects BC.GAME’s ability to meet strict regulatory benchmarks. It also underscores the company’s long-term vision of building a stable and responsible gaming presence in Africa.
With these licences, BC.GAME can now operate legally in Kenya while also contributing to the growth of the country’s regulated digital economy. The move signals not just compliance, but also a deeper commitment to offering localized entertainment experiences that resonate with Kenyan players.
“Kenya has always been at the heart of Africa’s gaming culture,” a BC.GAME spokesperson noted. “We’re excited to bring our platform to the community here, and we look forward to engaging with local sports, technology, and cultural initiatives as part of our journey.”
The Kenyan approval fits into BC.GAME’s broader global compliance roadmap, where the company continues to secure licences in key jurisdictions around the world. By proactively aligning with evolving regulations, BC.GAME ensures that its platform remains safe, transparent, and trustworthy for both players and regulators.
With these new licences valid through 2026, BC.GAME is well-positioned to deepen relationships with stakeholders in Africa, while reinforcing its reputation as a responsible and forward-looking operator worldwide.
