RDB directive card

Rwanda gambling licence and legal checks

RDB regulates gambling through the NLGC. Its 2025 directive says Law 58/2011, the 2013 licensing order and 2023 administrative sanctions remain in force while a new framework is developed.

How to check a licence

  1. Record the exact domain and company in the terms.
  2. Identify the category: sports betting, online casino or land-based casino.
  3. Ask RDB/NLGC to confirm status and scope.
  4. Do not treat a foreign licence as Rwanda authorisation.
