Tanzania Market Report
Dawoodi Bohra community, Zainuddin Adamjee, said they were worried about the rising gambling addiction among the youth and asked for the president's intervention. In 2019, the Tanzanian government implemented some re-
strictions on advertising. Te restrictions encompass all local media channels, including radio and television stations, prohibiting any advertisements or broadcasts related to gaming until further directives were issued by the board. Additionally, the board convened a consultative meeting with stakeholders to explore and develop a suitable and sustainable approach to the advertising of gaming activities. In November 2021, the GBT proposed a gambling advertising
code aimed at protecting vulnerable groups. Key features include a blackout of ads from 6 AM to 9 PM, with exceptions for dedicated sports channels as well as other restrictions. Te code would apply to all operators, highlighting the need for responsible gaming practices within the industry. Despite these measures fears over excessive gambling especially
amongst younger players persist. In May 2024 Mr. Daniel Ole- sumaiya, the director of services at the GBT, emphasized the board's commitment to promoting responsible gaming practices. In June 2024, the Tanzanian Parliament made a significant
change to gambling advertising regulations in the Finance Bill, 2024. Tis legislation introduces a 10 per cent excise duty on commercial advertisements related to betting and gaming across various media platforms, including print, television, and radio. Te aim of the amendment is to generate additional revenue for the government while also addressing concerns about the potential negative effects of excessive gaming. Following this, in August 2024, the ruling party, CCM, announced initiatives to address concerns over youth involvement in gambling and betting, with Secretary-General Ambassador Emmanuel Nchimbi expressing the party's dedication to addressing issues related to gambling addiction.
TAXATION Te gaming tax is charged on casinos, sports betting, SMS lottery, the National Lottery, slots (Route) operations, “forty machines sites” (slot parlours) as well as virtual games. Te tax rate on players was also amended via the Finance Act
of June 2024. Te new budget introduced a rate of 10 per cent of the value of stake on betting, gaming, and the national lottery. Te measure was intended to increase government revenue for financing health care and improve accessibility of health services for people who cannot afford to pay.
