ONLINE Tanzania is actually way ahead of most
countries, even those in Europe, when it comes to online gambling having licensed and regulated online gambling back in 1999. Te sector was covered in an amendment to
Gaming Control Act which at the time offered remote gambling and also offered licensing for fixed odds wagering, sport betting and lotteries. In 2011 the Gaming Board of Tanzania began
to draft new legislation for online gambling to allow casino games and by 2013 the first online casino games operator Dunia Investments was approved by the government to operate
iplay8casino.com. At the moment there are still only a handful
of other online casinos and sports betting websites in operation offering fixed odds
betting, casino games, lottery games and sports betting. Te main stumbling block is the size of the
country and the fact many Tanzanians do not gamble. Iplay8casino is easy to use. Players sign up,
make a deposit and play. Iplay8casino offers casino games from slots, video poker, blackjack and roulette plus live dealer games. It is operated in Tanzanian and Chinese mainly due to the large number of Chinese workers in the country.
