Lagos, Nigeria – The Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) of Kenya, led by its visionary Chairperson, Dr. Jane Mwikali Makau, has been honored with the prestigious Regulatory Alliance Award 2025 at the AGE Lagos Summit, a landmark event in Africa’s gaming industry. The award recognizes the BCLB’s remarkable strides in regulatory excellence and its role in shaping the future of responsible gaming across the continent.
Dr. Jane Mwikali Makau has been a driving force in Kenya’s gaming regulatory landscape, guiding the BCLB with a firm commitment to integrity, transparency, and consumer protection. Her leadership has elevated Kenya to the status of a regulatory leader in Africa, with the BCLB setting new standards for responsible gaming practices. This award is a testament to Dr. Makau’s tireless efforts to create a fair and well-regulated gaming environment in Kenya.
The AGE Lagos Summit brings together the most influential figures in the gaming industry, including regulators, operators, and policymakers from across Africa. The Regulatory Alliance Award is one of the summit’s most prestigious honors, given to regulators who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and contributed to the harmonization of gaming regulations on the continent. Under Dr. Makau’s stewardship, the BCLB has played a pivotal role in promoting collaboration among African regulators, fostering a unified approach to the governance of the gaming industry.
In her acceptance speech, Dr. Makau expressed her gratitude to the BCLB team and the Kenyan government for their support, stating, “This award is a recognition of the collective efforts of the BCLB and our partners across Africa. We are committed to ensuring that the gaming industry operates with the highest standards of responsibility and fairness. Kenya’s success in this area is the result of collaboration and a shared vision for a well-regulated gaming sector.”
One of the key contributors to Kenya’s success in regulating the gaming industry has been the strong partnership between the BCLB and gaming operators like Bangbet Ltd, one of Kenya’s leading gaming companies. Bangbet Ltd has been a vocal advocate of responsible gaming and compliance with BCLB regulations, and the company was quick to congratulate Dr. Makau on her achievement. In a public statement, Bangbet Ltd said, “We are incredibly proud to be part of Kenya’s gaming industry, which is held to the highest standards of regulation thanks to the leadership of Dr. Makau. Her vision for a responsible gaming sector is something we fully support, and we congratulate her on this well-deserved award.”
The partnership between the BCLB and operators like Bangbet Ltd has been instrumental in creating a safe and transparent gaming environment in Kenya. Through Dr. Makau’s leadership, the BCLB has introduced measures to protect consumers, promote responsible gaming, and eliminate illegal gambling activities. These efforts have positioned Kenya as a role model for other African nations seeking to improve their own regulatory frameworks.
The Executive Office of the President of Kenya has also played a key role in supporting the BCLB’s regulatory efforts, ensuring that the gaming industry operates in a manner that aligns with national interests. The government’s backing has been crucial in enabling the BCLB to enforce strict regulatory standards and promote the growth of a responsible gaming sector.
As the gaming industry continues to evolve, Dr. Jane Mwikali Makau’s leadership will remain essential in steering the BCLB toward continued success. Her dedication to regulatory excellence has not only benefited Kenya but has also inspired other African nations to follow in its footsteps
