Sports betting in Tanzania is legal and tightly regulated under the Gaming Act, CAP. 41 R.E. 2019, which establishes the Gaming Board of Tanzania as the sole licensing authority for all gaming activities (1).
All operators must secure a license from the Gaming Board and adhere to the Sports Betting Rules, 2016, which outline requirements for betting premises, operator conduct, and record-keeping for both on-site and internet-based sportsbooks (1)(2).
"An Act to provide for the regulation of gaming activities; to provide for establishment of the Gaming Board of Tanzania; to provide for the control and licensing by the Board of gaming activities; to prohibit certain transactions and to provide for related matters."
Violations—such as operating without a valid license—carry substantial penalties, including fines and possible imprisonment, ensuring that unlicensed sports betting is effectively prohibited under Tanzanian law (1).
