Online casinos in Tanzania
Legal status of digital casinos in Tanzania: legal since 2013, operators require a licence
Online casinos are legal in Tanzania since 2013, according to the Gaming (Internet Gaming) Regulations1 (first published in 2012, in force since 2013, amended many times since its’ inception).
The first ever online casino licence was issued in 2013 to iplay8casino.com6. However, this casinos website is no longer in operation (defunct as of 2016).
Tanzania’s internet infrastructure underwent rapid expansion in the last 10 years, which necessitated the regulation of internet gambling:
In 2014 the internet adoption rate was only 14.9%2, which explains why online casinos were only legalized in 2013 and why the first Tanzanian online casinos all went bankrupt, or were abandoned.
UPDATE 2022: However, as of 2022 the internet penetration rate is 50%4 and there are multiple Tanzanian internet betting companies active in the country.
Even though 50% is still low compared to the so called developed world, and the value of Tanzanian players is very low compared to their North American and Western European counterparts, the Tanzanian market is now at the point, where it is able to sustain a few Tanzanian digital cainos long-term.
Only digital casino platforms with a licence form the Gaming Board of Tanzania can accept players from the country. Offshore operators can also acquire a licence, provided they set up Tanzanian subsidiaries.
Using unlicensed online casinos is illegal, although there is no enforcement regarding this, when it comes to ordinary players. However, rogue domestic operators are dealt with by the gambling authority.
Interesting fact: 34% of the population is an adherent of Islam, a religion that strongly condemns gambling (it’s haram for every true muslim). This makes it even more difficult for Tanzanian online casinos to attract new players.
/Comment: Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous province is 99% Muslim, despite this the online gambling laws of Tanzania apply to the island province as well, which means online casinos are officially legal in Zanzibar as well./
By scrolling below you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Tanzanian players.
Can tourists play online while visiting Tanzania?
Yes, tourists, expats (or illegal migrants) can play freely online while they enjoy their stay in Tanzania.
Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Tanzania:
The Gaming Board of Tanzania is responsible for issuing online gambling licences and for regulating the sector.
Unlike the gambling authorities of most other African countries the GBT does maintain an online presence, where you can find all the most important documents, regulations and licence applications.
Gambling companies need to acquire an internet casino licence in order to operate an online casino in Tanzania.

Land-based casinos in Tanzania
Legal status of casinos in Tanzania: legal since 1992, operators require a licence, slot halls are also legal
Casinos are legal in Tanzania since 1992. The current main piece of the casino gambling legislation is the 2019 Revised Gaming Act of Tanzania2 (which replaced the old 2003 Gaming Act3), and its’ amendments4.
Casinos were legalized with the 1992 National Investment (Promotion and Protection) (Amendment) Act1, which allowed bigger hotel complexes to operate casinos.
The 1992 Investment Act aimed to boost the then very underdeveloped tourism and hospitality sector of Tanzania. Even though it took many years, the government managed to accomplish this goal eventually.
According to the Gambling Board of Tanzania in 2007 there were only 8 casinos in the country (and 219 gaming machines in slot halls outside of casinos).
UPDATE: And by 2022 there were 15 casino hotels in the country, despite the effect the global pandemic had on the tourism sector of Tanzania (the number of international visitors went from 1 million per year to 365 K per year2, 5 of these casino hotels are located in Zanzibar).
There are currently 15 casinos in United Republic of Tanzania, all of them are attached to hotels (standalone casinos can not operate in Tanzania).
The biggest Tanzanian casino is the Princess Casino (on the picture at the top of the page) in Dar es-Salaam, the biggest city and economic capital of the country (the city has the most casinos by far).
The biggest casino company of Tanzania is the Princess International, which also operates the biggest casino.
Slot halls are also legal, and there are hundreds of slot machines in slot halls or in venues, shops wit a liquor licence throughout the country (you can see the various available slot licences below, in the Tanzania casino licensing section).
/Comment: The casino laws apply to the semi+autonomous province of Zanzibar as well. Zanzibar actually has 5 casino hotels./
You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.

Tanzania Princess Casino
Tanzania Princess Casino, address: IT Plaza Ohio St Dar es Salaam 00255
Tanzania Princess Casino is located in the IT Plaza, in downtown Dar es-Salaam, the economic heart of the country.
This is the country’s biggest and most prestigious gaming venue currently.
Princess Casino Tanzania is part of the well-known casino group Princess International, which operates casinos on multiple continents. Their casinos are usually among the best casinos in every country they are active in. Considered to be one of the best casino groups.
Games: around 140 gaming machines (slots, video poker, very good slot selection, recent machines from the best manufacturers, the best selection in Tanzania), and around 17 tables (American Roulette, blackjack, Ultimate 3 Cards Poker, Punto Banco, Casino Hold’em, Tai Poker) + a few electronic roulette machines
They also have a VIP section, the High Roller Salon Privé, which is aimed at, as the name implies, players who are looking for tables with no, or very big limits.
Video of Tanzania Princess Casino:
Opening hours: 24/7
UPDATE COVID-19: open
Dress code: no short pants, otherwise no dress code
Entrance fee: no entrance fee
Meta review analysis: very good reviews, 4/5, one of the best rated Tanzanian casino complex

Las Vegas Casino
Las Vegas Casino, address: 57VP+WMR, Ali Hassan Mwinyi Rd, Dar es Salaam
Las Vegas Casino is the oldest casino in Tanzania. The venue has been in continuous operation since 1992.
For a long time Las Vegas was also the country’s biggest casino. However, that title has been usurped by Princess Casino (see above).
Las Vegas is a casino complex and besides the gaming machines and tables it offer many other amenities as well.
Games: around 130 gaming machines (slots, video poker, good slot selection, the second best selection in Tanzania after Princess), and around 15 tables (European Roulette, blackjack, Casino Hold’em Poker, Multibet Poker, Three Card Poker and Tie Poker) + a few electronic roulette machines
They also have a poker section as well with 3 tables (very few Tanzanian casinos have poker sections). However, there is no online tournament schedule and there is no info about the cash games on their website (it seems like the poker section is not really utilized, which is not surprising, the poker scene of Tanzania is very small).

Bitcoin casinos in Tanzania
Legal status: not regulated
Cryptocurrencies themselves are not regulated in Tanzania, and consequently bitcoin casinos are also unregulated.
Because of the lack of any specific regulation, and official legalization, none of the brick & mortar casinos of the country accept virtual currencies.
Additionally, none of the Tanzania licensed online gambling websites have ever accepted any crypto coins for the same reasons.
However, placing bets with bitcoins, litecoins, ethereum and similar crypt tokens is not illegal and players who play in offshore bitcoin online casinos are not prosecuted. Such sites are also not blocked by the internet service providers of Tanzania.
The bitcoin casinos below accept players from Tanzania.
The following casino websites accept players from Tanzania.

![]() That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting. I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that). Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you! |
![]() Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you! By being on this site, you agree to terms and conditions, and privacy policy. You must be at least 18, and if you are a gambling addict, or a citizen of Hungary, please leave the site. |
